Do not ask process related questions about how to apply and who to contact in the above ticket. The only questions allowed are about technical aspects of the project itself. If you want help with the process, you can refer instructions listed on Unstop and any further queries can be taken up on our Discord channel titled DMP queries. Here's a Video Tutorial on how to submit a proposal for a project.

[Jashvinu]

Hello @piyushmittaltech @RaviV-Protean @amitknamdeo @sunilnsdlekyc

How does the current search system determine search result ranking? Could the AI/ML model provide signals to improve relevance scoring and are there ways to potentially personalise the ranking for users?

Also given the potential seasonality of demand, would you lean towards time-series models ( ARIMA, SARIMA) or are there advantages to tree-based ensembles (XGBoost) or something that I have personally been working on is Lag LLama Zero-Shot LLM I think that would be worth exploring?

[HYDRAEZIO]

Hello @piyushmittaltech, @RaviV-Protean, @amitknamdeo, and @sunilnsdlekyc,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm excited about the opportunity to work on the "Seller App" project with Protean and contribute my skills and experience to its success.

Regarding the project details you've provided, I find it quite intriguing and aligning with my expertise. Here's why I believe I would be a valuable addition to your team:

I have participated in the Smart India Hackathon, where I worked on a Digilocker function known as ABC ID. Our team successfully developed and integrated this functionality, contributing to digital identity management solutions. This experience has honed my skills in understanding government requirements, security standards, and the importance of reliable and scalable solutions in the e-governance domain.

I am eager to contribute to the development of advanced search functionality using AI/ML algorithms and the inventory forecasting system for the Seller App. The goals and milestones outlined in the proposal are well-defined, and I am confident in my ability to meet and exceed these expectations.

Looking forward to the opportunity to collaborate with Protean and deliver a robust and innovative solution.

Hi @piyushmittaltech, here is my approach of working on the project

Approach for AI/ML-based Search Algorithm API Integration:

Gather Requirements:

We will ensure responsiveness and efficiency by understanding the requirements for the search functionality and determining the types of data to be searched and user preferences.

Select NLP-Based Model:

We will leverage Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms for search functionality, preprocessing data to generate searchable tags, ensuring accurate search results.

Model Fine-Tuning:

To optimize performance, we will conduct hyperparameter tuning, experimenting with different Stemming approaches, Scaling techniques, and Vectorization methods, evaluating each model's effectiveness.

Develop API:

Utilizing the selected NLP model, we will craft the search API, aiming for seamless integration and intuitive user experience.

Testing:

To validate accuracy and performance, we will thoroughly test API functionality with sample data, ensuring it meets or exceeds expected outcomes.

Alternative Approach:

If necessary, we will explore generative AI and foundational models, using LangChain, to enhance search capabilities, adapting our approach as needed to deliver optimal results.

Additional Feature:

Intrigued by the potential for user engagement, we will incorporate a Chatbot using LLMs, fine-tuning it with OpenAI API or HuggingPhase Models to personalize interactions.
Drawing from previous experience, I am particularly interested in this project, having worked on a movie recommendation system using NLP techniques.

Approach for Inventory Forecasting API Development:

Data Collection:

We will ensure accuracy in forecasting by meticulously gathering past inventory data and labeling it for training purposes.

Model Selection:

To achieve precise predictions, we will begin with classical Regression models like Linear Regression, Random Forest Regression, or XGBoost Regression, evaluating their performance against established metrics.

Deep Learning Techniques:

In pursuit of greater accuracy, we will explore deep learning techniques, employing Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) using TensorFlow or PyTorch to refine our forecasts.

Training and Integration:

Following model selection, we will train our chosen models with past inventory data, seamlessly integrating the forecasting API into our system.

Similar Project Approach:

Leveraging insights gained from past projects, such as the second-hand car price prediction endeavor, we will employ regression models and refine them using ANNs for enhanced efficiency.

Credentials and Experience:

ML/DL Experience:

Extensive experience with ML and DL techniques.
Currently learning Generative AI to expand skill set.

Educational Background:

Pre-final Year student at NIT, Jalandhar.
Worked on research projects with college faculty.

Achievements:

Participated in Google Solution Challenge with team ranking among top 100 worldwide.

I am quite excited in building this project and looking forward to the opportunity to collaborate.
