Projects

Car Price Evaluation Prediction Model

Developed a machine learning model designed to predict the price of used cars based on a range of vehicle features, including mileage, age, engine size, and more. This project involved data preprocessing, feature engineering, and the use of regression algorithms to build a robust predictive model. Extensive hyperparameter tuning was conducted to improve model accuracy, and the final model demonstrated high predictive reliability, providing valuable insights for pricing strategies in automotive sales and auction environments.

Created a unique dataset on Kaggle that presents the Quran in numeric format, aiming to support researchers, linguists, and machine learning practitioners in analyzing the text. The dataset has been well-received within the Kaggle community, garnering high ratings and significant engagement. It serves as a valuable resource for natural language processing projects and text-based AI models, and it highlights data curation skills and a focus on supporting open-access educational tools.

License Plate Recognition

Built an optical character recognition (OCR) and object detection model to automate car license plate recognition, utilizing OpenCV and machine learning techniques. This project involved training a model to detect and interpret license plate characters from images, enabling real-time recognition with high accuracy. Techniques included image preprocessing, object detection, and character segmentation, showcasing expertise in computer vision and OCR. The model can be applied in automated toll systems, parking management, and security applications, demonstrating both the technical and practical applications of AI in real-world scenarios.
