Dear mentors,
I hope you’re doing well. My name is Mrunmayee, and I am a second-year Electronics and Communication Engineering student at IIIT Nagpur. I am highly interested in contributing to the ActiveVision project, and I would love to discuss how I can contribute effectively.
My Background & Relevant Experience
I have a strong foundation in Python and PyTorch, along with hands-on experience in signal processing, embedded systems, and AI-driven applications. Some of my relevant skills include:
Deep Learning & Computer Vision: Familiar with PyTorch, OpenCV, and multimodal AI models.
Time-Series & Signal Processing: Being a second year ECE student, I had relevant courses like
Hardware & Sensor-Based AI: Worked withArduino, ESP32, and biomedical sensors to collect and analyze real-world data, integrating insights into machine learning models.
Web Development: Comfortable with necessary WebDev skills like HTML,CSS,JS, Node, PHP.
Relevant Projects
Smart Mirror with AI Integration
Developed a Smart Mirror that displays real-time information such as weather, time, and news updates while also integrating voice recognition and AI-powered facial recognition. This project involved Raspberry Pi, Python, OpenCV, and web technologies, demonstrating my ability to work with computer vision, IoT, and web interfaces.
Sign Language Recognition Using Computer Vision
Built a real-time sign language recognition system using OpenCV and Python, which detects and translates hand gestures into text. This project enhanced my computer vision and deep learning skills, as I trained a CNN-based model using PyTorch to recognize different hand gestures accurately.
Image Differences Detection Using Computer Vision
Developed an application that detects differences between two images using OpenCV and Python. This project focused on image processing techniques, edge detection, and feature matching, strengthening my knowledge in computer vision and AI-based image analysis.
I am particularly excited about goal-directed vision and multimodal AI, as I am keen to explore how language-vision integration enhances saliency-based modeling. The challenge of building an open platform that consolidates datasets and models aligns with my interests in AI research and open-source development.I am eager to learn more about large-scale ML model integration, dataset curation, and validation pipelines. Additionally, I am comfortable with SLURM-based cluster computing and am excited to expand my experience in working with large-scale AI models in a research-driven environment.I am looking forward to learn many insightful things from the mentors and other peers while working on this project(if I do get selected) and get hands on experience in this field.I would love to contribute to this project and will be submitting my proposal soon. Looking forward to your feedback and any guidance you may have on the next steps.
Best regards,
Mrunmayee
