Hermite Normal Form - Algorithm Analysis

This is a successful research project that is based on the theory of computation as well as strong mathematics. It was a thesis project that is also an entry criteria to the Doctorate of Philosophy program.

The project was done under Dr. George Havas, who is a pioneer in introducing various mathematical models in the field of computer science. He has performed extended research in the Extended GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) computation.

The project aimed at analysing an existing algorithm of reducing any matrix format to a standard format called Hermite Normal form, which is a unit upper triangular matrix.

Implementation of the algorithm with a rigorous testing environment was carried out. Implementation was done in Java and algebraic languages like Magma and GAP are studied with Magma being used to compare and analyse the functioning of the algorithm.

An oral presentation was also performed at the UQ Innovation Expo 2003 2 with a poster designed for my project. It was very well received by a range of visitors from school students to the research fellows. The poster as well was appreciated for its creativity and for the content contained. Finally a thesis report was submitted with successful results. The project gained a high distinction grade (7/7) for its content and quality.

Disciplined Software Process Project

The aim of the project is to introduce and practice the software development process for individuals called Personal Software Process PSPSM. A series of software pro- grams were to be developed in Java over a structured framework that contains forms, guidelines and procedures. The adherence towards the PSP was measured and the results are analysed..

On-line Art Store Website

A website that trades paintings through Internet wasdeveloped from the scratch forthe Electronic Commerce course.

The usability engineering concepts were practically demonstrated. Apart from build- ing the website, the associated IT and Business management aspects were also de- ployed in a case study and the documentation done for the implementation.

The JavaScript code was self-typed and there was a rich but appropriate content of client side processing using JavaScript. Macromedia Flash, Dreamweaver and Adobe Photoshop were extensively used as well.

Text Based Voice Chat

This was a research project which had an implementation component included as well. The project was done as a part of the course Advanced Human Computer Interaction.

A Proxy Voice Chat system was designed and developed in Visual Basic that incor- porated the ubiquitous computing aspects. An ideal application of voice travelling wirelessly as text was proposed with the main emphasis on Human centred design principles.

There were preliminary pilot studies that were performed pertaining to the human computer interaction issues. A lot of ubiquitous computing aspects were studied, formal interviews were conducted and a proposal for cheap and fast communication through computer or mobile or wireless network was developed, which stated a conversion of speech to text and text to speech at the communication points.

The transmission is only that of text but the audio carriage and delivery is simulated. A prototype of a mobile phone with user-friendly features that uses text based transmission of voice and synthesising audio at the receiving end was developed.

Spell Checker for Tamil Word Processor

A spell checker, for a Tamil Word Processor designed by Chennai Kavigal Ltd, was de- veloped from the scratch. This project was an individual project and I was responsible for the complete functioning of the whole module of spell checker.

There were quite a lot of Natural Language Processing (NLP) elements involved in this project and based on a root dictionary built as a part of the morphological analyser for Tamil language is used to determine the correctness of the words. The options for correcting the erred word were also provided.

This was one of the most exhilarating projects I have been and the end application was incorporated in a Commercial package. These language based solutions I was working upon were right in their beginning stage. A lot of research in that area is still ongoing.

RCILTS - Tamil, Anna University, Chennai, India

Tamil Parser

The development of a parser for sentences in Tamil language was the primary objective of this project. The Tamil parser was a fundamental entity that is required in almost all of the Tamil Computing processing that were developed by RCILTS..

The Tamil sentences are parsed and analysed and a parse tree is generated for that Tamil sentence. The parser works in conjunction with morphological analyser and is primarily vital for the computerised translation process of Tamil language.

Though the tool developed was supposed to be deployed as an inherent part of other applications, a graphical output interface was implemented using Swing to demonstrate the functioning of the tool.

There were weekly meetings conducted on the progress of the development of the tool and accurate status reports were submitted periodically. Though I was alone responsible of this module, there were quite a lot of interactions between myself and other developers to design and adhere to a proper standard and infrastructure.

The construction of the morphological analyser for Tamil was in parallel to that of the Tamil parser and was an iterative process. I was also a member in the discussion committee which set the guidelines for building up a morphological analyser..

Anna University, Chennai, India

as part of the Bachelors degree

Tamil Voice Engine

This project was done as a partial requirement for the fulfilment of my Bachelors Degree of Engineering in Computer Science. It was carried out in my Final year of B.E. and was done under the supervision of Professor Dr.T.V.Geetha in conjunction with a regional language software development organisation, Chennai Kavigal.

This project was performed directly under RCILTS (Resource Centre for Indian Language Technology Solutions), which was funded by the Ministry of Information Tech- nology, India.

The basic objective of the project was to construct a text to speech engine for Tamil language. Exhaustive research was done in the phonetic domain of the language and a new phoneme splitting automata was conceived. Based on that, the text is converted to speech with pre-recorded sounds aiming at optimisation of the generation of speech..

The required phonemes were professionally recorded at a studio with the aid of Chennai Kavigal. A host of sample applications were developed in order to demonstrate the usefulness of the engine in real time applications.

The applications were developed under Visual Basic environment. The background processing to create the phonemes was done through PERL.

The project was awarded a high grade and the paper was officially selected for presentation at the Tamil Internet Conference 2001 3 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The engine was also used in commercial Tamil Language packages.

Numerological Name Generator/Converter

This project was conceived and developed by me as a requirement for the completion of the course Creativity, Innovation and New Product Development. The objective of this project was to generate random names, which are pronounceable with respect to Indian phonetics.

The names were dynamically produced depending on the basic syllables and phonemes. Based on the gender the software outputs likely Indian names that are acceptable..

The additional feature in the project was that the inclusion of the numerology. Based on the birth date, month and year, apart from the gender, the software generates numerologically correct names. There were also provisions to check the numerological correctness of a name and if not, convert it into numerologically correct name with minimal changes in the existing name.

The Indian naming conventions, Indian phonology, Numerology etc. were the domains that were studied in order to implement the above mentioned system. A mock patent application for this software product was also developed with appropriate claims. This project showcased my ability to study different areas in depth for bringing out a feasible solution. It was well acknowledged for the richness involved and was awarded the highest grade.

compiler Design

This project was done as a part of the course Compiler Design. A compact high level programming language was conceived and a compiler for that language was to be designed and implemented. Initially a small language with minimum features was designed and then using the Lex, Yacc and other tools of Unix, a functioning com piler was constructed for that language. The program written correctly pertaining to the syntax that was pre-defined in the specification of the programming language, is first parsed. The input program sentences are partitioned into strings which match the given expressions as specified as regular expressions in the Lex source table. The Yacc is used to describe the code to be invoked when the rules describing the input programming structure are recognised. The intermediate representation of the input code written in the designed high level programming language is then achieved. The translation of the intermediate form to the low level machine code is finally accom plished thereby essentially compiling the code written in the new language. The major part of the project was the proper specification and interpretation of the lexical rules and the grammar rules. It was a successful project.
