Home Experience Publications Projects Projects Linear Bandits with Rotting Rewards Jan'23-May'23 Advisor: Prof. Arpan Chattopadhyay Formulated the problem of rotting multi-armed bandits in linear reward setting. Developed an index algorithm exploiting the problem structure and demonstrated better performance empirically. Explorations in Machine Learning (Independent Study) Aug'21-Nov'21 Extensively studied Tensor Factorization and its use in data compression and applied it in Minimal Complexity Machine to generate a faster and more interpretable pipeline. Also developed a Separability based Classification Loss function for Neural Networks and demonstrated results on MNIST for classification task with better separation. Code LightGBM based Botnet Detection Tool (3rd Prize among 1200+ Participants in IIT Kanpur Hackathon) Aug'20 Developed a Botnet Detection Tool on network packet capture data using Gradient Boosted Decision Tree based LightGBM implementing feature extraction, feature design and compared it with AdaBoost and Random Forest.
