Fine-Tuned Sentiment Analysis with LoRA and DistilBERT

Movie review sentiment analysis using a fine-tuned DistilBERT transformer model. The model is trained and evaluated on the IMDb dataset with Hugging Face’s Transformers library and accelerated with CUDA on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. Fine-tuning is performed using Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) with Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT), integrated into Hugging Face’s Trainer API. Inference is deployed through a Streamlit web application displaying predicted sentiment labels (positive/negative), confidence scores and runtime device information (CPU/GPU).

Harnessing Convolutional Neural Networks to Discover Exoplanets

Somewhere in the universe, there are distant Earth-like planets that could harbour life. These exoplanets can help us understand the origin, evolution and future of life and how solar systems and planets are formed. But a question arises: how can we find these distant worlds? The answer lies in convolutional neural networks.

AssistWave Project Proposal

Due to immobilization, patients often struggle to perform basic tasks independently. AssistWave is an STM32 device that uses hand gesture recognition to help individuals with TSCI communicate their needs—such as eating, drinking, restroom use, and emergencies—to caregivers within a home setting.
