1. Image Classification (CIFAR-10, Fashion MNIST)

• Objective: Classify images into predefined categories.
• Description:
  • CIFAR-10: A dataset containing 60,000 32x32 color images in 10 different classes (e.g., airplanes, cars, birds). The project uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to identify and classify these images.
  • Fashion MNIST: A dataset of 70,000 grayscale images of clothing items. The project aims to classify these images into categories like shirts, shoes, and bags using similar CNN architectures.
• Techniques Used: Data augmentation, dropout for regularization, and various optimization algorithms (e.g., Adam).

2. Sentiment Analysis

• Objective: Determine the sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) expressed in text data.
• Description: This project typically uses a dataset of movie reviews or tweets. It employs recurrent neural networks (RNNs) or transformers to analyze the text and classify the sentiment.
• Techniques Used: Natural language processing (NLP) techniques, word embeddings (e.g., Word2Vec, GloVe), and LSTM networks for handling sequential data.

3. Stock Price Prediction

• Objective: Predict future stock prices based on historical data.
• Description: This project uses historical stock price data to train LSTM networks, which are effective for time series forecasting. The model predicts future prices based on past trends and patterns.
• Techniques Used: Feature engineering, normalization of data, and evaluation metrics like Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).

4. Customer Churn Prediction

• Objective: Predict whether a customer will leave a service or subscription.
• Description: This project analyzes customer data to identify patterns that indicate potential churn. It typically uses a combination of ANNs and traditional machine learning algorithms.
• Techniques Used: Data preprocessing, feature selection, and evaluation metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall.

5. Crop Production Analysis

• Objective: Predict crop yields based on environmental and agricultural factors.
• Description: This project uses datasets that include variables like rainfall, temperature, and soil quality to predict the yield of various crops. ANNs are employed to model complex relationships in the data.
• Techniques Used: Regression analysis, data visualization, and performance evaluation using R-squared and adjusted R-squared metrics.

6. Heart Disease Detection

• Objective: Identify the presence of heart disease based on medical data.
• Description: This project utilizes a dataset containing patient health metrics (e.g., age, cholesterol levels, blood pressure) to predict heart disease risk using classification models.
• Techniques Used: Logistic regression, decision trees, and ensemble methods like Random Forest, along with ANNs for deeper insights.

7. Breast Cancer Prediction

• Objective: Predict whether a tumor is malignant or benign.
• Description: This project employs medical imaging data or patient records to classify tumors. It typically uses CNNs for image analysis or ANNs for structured data.
• Techniques Used: Data preprocessing, model evaluation using confusion matrices, and ROC curves.

8. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)

• Objective: Generate new data samples that resemble a training dataset.
• Description: This project implements GANs to create realistic images or other data types. It involves training two neural networks: a generator and a discriminator, which compete against each other.
• Techniques Used: Loss function optimization, batch normalization, and various architectures for generator and discriminator networks.

9. Autoencoders

• Objective: Learn efficient representations of data, often for dimensionality reduction.
• Description: This project uses autoencoders to compress data into a lower-dimensional space and then reconstruct it. It's useful for tasks like anomaly detection or denoising images.
• Techniques Used: Regularization techniques, loss functions for reconstruction quality, and variations like convolutional autoencoders.
