PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Intelligent System for Inference using Backward Chaining Algorithm: Developed a system using backward chaining
algorithm that infers whether a query is true or false given a predefined Knowledge Base.
Othello – Next Move Prediction using Alpha - Beta Pruning and Minimax Algorithm: Given any state of the Othello
game, the system predicts the next best possible move with maximum probability of win based on a set of positional weights.
Sign Language Recognition System: A nouvelle learning system that learns and recognizes Sign Language Gestures. The
system makes of Color based Segmentation, motion trace feature extraction and dynamic time warping to learn and recognize
gestures. The system does not use any costly hardware and works achieving efficiency rate of 70-78% .
