AI Research Assistant

A citation-grounded research companion that turns a library of papers into precise, evaluable answers.

  • Built a full-stack search application for 10,000 ArXiv papers, with a FAISS index, authentication, and Docker Compose.
  • Measured retrieval on 141 LLM-generated queries; BGE-small achieved 0.87 keyword Recall@1 and 0.90 MRR.
  • Grounded Gemini answers in numbered paper citations; automated a 30-test suite with GitHub Actions CI.

AI-Powered Mock Interview Platform

A multimodal practice interview that tailors questions to a candidate and turns every session into a performance report.

  • Generates personalized interview questions from a resume and job description, then labels each question type with fine-tuned DistilBERT.
  • Pairs a live interview room with real-time speech-to-text and facial emotion tracking.
  • Combines fluency, STAR structure, confidence trends, and Gemini-based content evaluation in a hybrid-score PDF report.

Speech Emotion Recognition

A real-time speech emotion classifier that pairs a stacked LSTM with an interactive, emotion-aware app.

  • Trains on RAVDESS and TESS features: MFCC, chroma, and log-mel spectrograms.
  • Identifies seven emotion classes and runs in a real-time Streamlit application.
  • Reached 0.81 test accuracy and 0.81 macro F1 on a held-out test set; includes an emotion-aware chatbot.
