Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease symptoms using speech longitudinally

An early symptom of Alzheimer’s Disease is difficulty in remembering recent events. These trends are reflected in problems in language and patterns of speech. Speech patterns of an individual can hence be used to determine the trajectories of preclinical cognitive decline. The difference in the cognitive trends over subject groups, analyzed using speech data collected […]

Operating Room Traffic Assessment: A Video Analysis Approach

Surgical Safety Technology aims to improve operating room safety by capturing and analyzing operation videos. Usually, operating room traffic (like people displacement) has a huge impact on surgery. Unnecessary movements can cause distraction of surgeons and pollution of the sterile environment. This project applies computer vision models to detect and track people movements in the […]

A data visualization framework to leverage text and knowledge graphs

The goal of this work will be to explore different ways to visualize and interact with knowledge extracted automatically from very large heterogeneous document collections. This extracted knowledge will be in the form of a multi-attribute graph of extracted entities and relationships between them. These relationships will be associated with both temporal and spatial information. […]

Cognitive Risk Sensing Using Deep Learning

CRISP is an international Deloitte development initiative aimed at helping some of our largest clients understand and managed corporate risk. CRiSP stands for “Cognitive Risk Sensing”, and it centers around using large sources of mostly unstructured data (i.e. 10% sample of all of Twitter, thousands of news aggregators, etc.) to understand and forecast risk for […]

Development of a Bidding simulation environment

Addictive Tech Corp is a fast-growing ad-tech company. They use real-time advertisement bidding software which is massive and sophisticated. The actual dynamics involved in any given bid are complex and hard to predict. This makes writing test logic for such a system cumbersome and catching all corner cases next to impossible. Because of the scale […]

Privacy Enhanced Decentralized Identity System

Currently, some public and private organizations have implemented various identification verification solutions to manage identity authentication. The idea of using a third-party identity provider (IdP) to access a relying party (RP) is not new, and both RP and IdP have their benefits as they can only be connected once in a federated identity ecosystem. While […]
