Semantic Image Analysis and Image Exploration
Extending my previous research, I built an image search engine that searches images based on their semantic concepts.
In middle school and high school I threw myself into science fairs and research competitions, exploring computer vision, speech recognition, and music analysis. These projects are early steps, full of trial-and-error and youthful ambition. They show where my interest in building intelligent systems began.

Continually Adapting Speech Recognition Models
I improved MIT CSAIL's speech recognition engine to enable it to adapt continually to user input.

Acoustic Music Similarity Analysis
I built a fully automatic approach for recommending music based on "how it sounds," using musical characteristics like instrumentation, tempo, and mood.

RFID-Based Robot Navigation
In my 8th grade science fair project, I explored how RFID technology can be used to improve robot navigation algorithms.
