The list of summer projects for the academic year 2017-18 is given below: 

Captionate - Image Captioning Toolkit 

Task is to design a Deep Learning+NLP based toolkit (python-library) which can input images 
and generate textual description of the Image. Further addons to the project can be a web 
application where the user can upload an image and get the caption for input image or an 
Android/iOS application where the user can capture/upload an image and get the caption 
generated using this toolkit. 

Skills Required:​ Python, Object-Oriented Programming, NLP, Famous DL Libraries like 

Tensorflow or Keras. Optional Skills include Full stack web app, Android/iOS App Development. 

Music/Songs Recommendation System 

Task is to design a personalized recommendation system for music. Depending on experience 
level of the students, they can choose it to be content based or popularity based model. Content 
based model will require processing music features and recommending similar music. Extra 
points will be awarded if students can deploy the recommendation system through a web 
application or mobile application.  

Skills Required:​ Python, Object-Oriented Programming, Knowledge of Recommendation 

Systems, Matrix Factorization, Collaborative Filtering. Famous DL Libraries like Tensorflow or 
Keras. Optional Skills include Full stack web app, Android/iOS App Development.

Newsly - News Aggregation App 

Task is to design a mobile app which will aggregate news from different sources and display the 
same from time to time to the user. Extra points will be awarded for adding creative features like

features include sending notification for important news, personalizing the news stories for the 
user, voice assistant based reading of the news stories if the user wants to hear the news, etc. 

Skills Required:​ Android/iOS Development, Backend implementation using language/tech stack 

of your own choice, Experience with Search/News APIs. 

CodeJudge - Online Coding Test 

Task is to design an Online Coding Test App with IDE for famous programming languages like 
Python, C++, C, Java. This will be just like Hackerrank, but with fewer functionalities. The user 
will login using pre-provided credentials, complete the test and then the score will be recorded in 
database for Test Admins. Test Admins will have ability to make a test and send invitations for 
the same. Additional features could include integrating with MOSS and tracking of the user 
using computer vision to predict use of unfair means. 

Skills Required:​ Web Stack of your own choice. (LAMP, MEAN, etc.) 

Gesture Based Mouse Control App 

Task is to design a desktop application using Python which will be able to recognize gestures 
made by the user through his eyes/hands. Based on these gestures the user will be able to 
control mouse actions. More points will be awarded to the apps with better UI/UX. 

Skills Required:​ Python, PyMouse, OpenCV

Vehicle Tracking with Speed Control Mobile App 

Task is to design Android/iOS Mobile app which will be able to track the vehicle in real time and 
implement speed control via alerts/notifications in the app itself. The students may design this 
app for intended use by Drivers themselves or for monitoring purposes of multiple drivers. 
Depending on choice of project complexity, extra points will be rewarded. 

Skills Required:​ Android/iOS 

Online Book Exchange Portal 

Task is to design an online book lending/purchase system allowing both second hand and first 
hand books to be sold/lend by individuals. Better UI/UX is desirable for this project. This is more
