About Vignesh Nithin Kappagantula

I am a CS Masters student at the Stony Brook University, New York with 2 years of professional experience in Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Software Development.I have 2 years of work experience as a ML Engineer. During my time at Xome, I have built pipelines to automatically detect features in house images using Classification, Detection and Segmentation. These features were used to measure how well a house is built and maintained. And this was one of the important feature in the Price Valuation Model of the company. I gained proficiency in Data Collection, Preprocessing, Feature extraction and Modelling in Tensorflow and Keras. I have a solid background in Machine Learning and Strong programming skills in Python and C++.At SBU, I worked in NLP to extract knowledge from RFC text to validate the network file system implementation. I have worked on numerous applications like Relation extraction and Named Entity Recognition. I have developed interest and strong understanding of underlying mathematics in NLP.Currently, I am working on a Gaze tracking system to find out where the person is looking in the screen with the help of webcam video feed. I am trying to map the gaze direction of the eye to the image coordinates in the screen.
