Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

An Approach to Detecting Writing Styles Based on Clustering Techniquesambekarshweta25
An Approach to Detecting Writing Styles Based on Clustering Techniques
Authors:
-Devkinandan Jagtap
-Shweta Ambekar
-Harshit Singh
-Nakul Sharma (Assistant Professor)
Institution:
VIIT Pune, India
Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.
Kin2020- flow based product development- an experience report
1. Flow Based Product Development
A Venture of A Product Development Team in December
2019Abstract:
A pictorial case study about this product development team I coached- to move from mandated Scrum process to a
much leaner Scrumban process, teaching the team value of “flow” based product development, in conjunction with
team practices such as process eval “futurospective”, GetKanban gamification, distributed mob programming &
behavior driven dev/testing.
Key takeaways:
1. Transition From Output to Outcome can happen only when the team focuses on “flow” based product
development.
2. Technical practices like mob programming and BDD increase the team collaboration and productivity.
3. Mob programming is probably the leanest of all XP practices, in that it cuts the time it takes to develop shippable
code!
4. Transition from waterfall/big-bang/compliant process culture requires shift to focus on the 4 values of agile
manifesto.
5. Look for opportunities to inject Lean principle of (faster) flow in everything team does! 1
2. Issues with Scrum
Process
Long scrum duration (3 weeks mandate)
leads to mini-waterfall.
Short scrum duration (<= 2 weeks
sprints) with distributed “siloed tower”
teams creates heavy planning overhead.
Responsiveness to unplanned work
requires breaking the mandated process
or using Kanban in parallel.
Try Scrumban
Process
Implement flow-based process without
artificial boundaries.
Communicate immediately and
efficiently.
Monitor, measure and optimize the flow.
Typical Transformational Challenges- Doing Agile vs. Being

3. Process Framework Evaluator “futurospective” –
Powerful questions make team decide what will work for it
Powerful Questions Explanation
Planning:
Despite the PO trying to do so, is it impossible to lock down the scope
for your chosen timebox?
Do you have more than 25% scope churn during the chosen timebox?
Scrum: Scrum works best when requirements are stable for the duration of the Sprint so that the team can commit to their delivery.
Kanban: Some scope change can be accommodated. By dropping the fixed timebox, Kanban can allow teams to adapt more easily to quickly changing priorities.
Scrumban: Iteration planning is done at a regular interval, with the goal of planning is to fill the slots available - not fill all of the slots, and certainly not to determine the
number of slots.
Decomposition:
Even after trying your best, is it impossible to break features into
incremental pieces of value to be delivered within the chosen timebox?
Both Scrum and Kanban work best when you break your work down into small incremental pieces. The Scrum Sprint timebox can help new teams recognize deficiencies (work
not completed at the end of the sprint) and adapt (retrospective).
Scrumban: Can you decompose work to lock scope for the timboxed duration?
Estimation:
Is it hard or impossible for team to size the work in the chosen timebox?
Does estimation take more than 3 hours?
Kanban: Kanban removes the overhead of estimation in favor of measuring cycle time for like sized items. Work should be comprised of similarly sized activities for Kanban.
Scrum: Scrum absolutely requires that all work be estimated so that the team can commit to the sprint.
Scrumban: Scrumban does not require estimation.
Responsiveness:
Is your top priority to optimize responsiveness to customer needs?
Must work begin in the current timebox -cannot wait until the next one?
Kanban has a strong focus on cycle time, where Scrum has a stronger focus on Velocity.
Both can be tuned to provide very similar output, but Kanban has the flexibility to lower batch size to reduce cycle time at the potential cost of productivity.
Predictability & Productivity:
Is your top priority predictability and productivity for larger projects?
You can achieve predictability and a high level of productivity using any agile framework.
Scrum provides more guidance on how to handle release planning and progress tracking so is preferable for new teams.
Process Oriented Culture:
Does your team culture demand higher degree of process ceremonies?
Although Scrum has fewer ceremonies and artifacts than many other methodologies, it has more than Kanban and can more easily be integrated into a culture requiring them.
Shared Team Members:
Do you share engineers with other teams?
Does your team lack all the required skills to complete the work?
Scrum: Scrum teams work best when they do not have dependencies on people outside of the team
.
Kanban: With Kanban, others can see when there is work for them to do and pick it up at that time.
Variety in work (complexity & size):
Are your work items of approximately similar size & complexity?
Both Scrum and Kanban work very well with similar sized work items.
However, in Kanban the variability between different sized items makes it difficult to adhere to SLAs.
