Hackathon Problem Statement

1. Multi-Language Audio Summarization of Research Papers

The proposed project aims to develop a system for summarising research papers
and converting the summaries into multilingual audio. The system will leverage
natural language processing (NLP) and text-to-speech (TTS) technologies to
generate concise summaries of research papers in multiple languages, which will
then be converted into audio files for easy consumption by non-native speakers and
people with visual impairments. This system has the potential to improve accessibility
to research papers and make scientific information more widely available and easily
understandable to people around the world.

Requirements:
Some potential requirements for this system could include

● Development of robust NLP models for automatic summarization of research

papers with consideration for language specific nuances and variations.
● Integration of TTS technology to convert summaries into high quality audio
files in multiple languages.
● Development of user friendly interfaces for accessing and navigating the
audio summaries, potentially incorporating features such as search
functionality and bookmarking
● Consideration of ethical and privacy concerns related to the use of research
papers particularly with regards to data privacy and intellectual property
rights.
● Adequate testing and validation of system performance across a range of
languages and user groups to ensure that it is effective and useful.

2. Computer Vision based Virtual Mouse for hands free computer

interaction

The proposed project aims to develop a computer vision-based virtual mouse that
allows for hands-free computer interaction. The system will leverage computer vision
techniques to track the movement of the user's head and convert it into mouse
movements on the screen. This system has the potential to greatly improve
accessibility for individuals who have limited or no use of their hands, such as those
with spinal cord injuries or neuromuscular disorders. By enabling users to interact
with their computer using only their head movements, the system can increase
independence and improve quality of life for those with disabilities. The system may
also have applications in other fields, such as gaming or virtual reality, where
hands-free interaction could enhance user experience.
 Interestingly, the concept of a virtual mouse controlled by head movements has been
featured in popular culture, most notably in the Iron Man movies. In these films, the
character Tony Stark uses a computer interface that is controlled by hand gestures
and head movements, allowing him to interact with the virtual world without physically
touching a device. The development of a real-world system based on similar
principles brings us one step closer to realising this fictional technology and its
potential to revolutionise the way we interact with computers.

Data Collection:
● You have to collect the dataset on your own and then train your model on the
same.

Requirements:
Some of the potential requirements for this system could include -

● Development of a robust computer vision algorithm for tracking hand

movements with high accuracy and reliability .
● Integration of the virtual mouse system with existing operating systems and
software applications, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of devices
and platforms
● Implementation of user friendly interface for configuring and calibrating the
system to suit individual user needs.

3. Automated Machine Learning: Streamlining the machine learning

workflow

Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) refers to the use of automation and machine
learning techniques to streamline and optimise the machine learning workflow. With
AutoML, data scientists and other users can automate many of the time-consuming
and resource-intensive tasks involved in building and deploying machine learning
models, such as data preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, and
hyperparameter tuning. By automating these tasks, AutoML can help to accelerate
the development and deployment of machine learning models, while also reducing
the need for specialised expertise and resources.

Data Collection:
● You can use any dataset from https://www.kaggle.com/

Requirements:
● Development of robust algorithms for automating key tasks in the machine
learning workflow, such as data preprocessing, feature selection, model
selection, and hyperparameter tuning.
.
● Implementation of user-friendly interfaces and tools for data exploration,
visualisation, and model evaluation, to make the AutoML system accessible
and easy to use for users with varying levels of technical expertise.
 ● Integration of automated monitoring and feedback mechanisms to continually
improve the performance of the AutoML system and identify areas for
optimization
.
● Implementation of appropriate safeguards and best practices for ensuring the
ethics, transparency, and interpretability of machine learning models
generated by the AutoML system.

● Adequate testing and validation of the AutoML system's performance across

a range of use cases and scenarios, to ensure that it is accurate, reliable, and
effective for a variety of applications.

Submission:
1. Github repository: This must contain all the work you have done to build the project
2. The work which you have done must be reproducible by others for testing and
evaluation purposes.
3. Deployment in any cloud, if possible. Implementation of CI-CD will be an added
bonus.
