Retrieval-Augmented Generation approach to enhance information processing from YouTube videos. It transcribes video audio using Whisper, turns transcripts into a searchable database with Pinecone, and leverages enhanced question-answering capabilities by combining retrieved data with language models
Reddit Network Analysis
In this project, we crawled data from Reddit, created a social network based on the comments made by users, and analyzed the network using several network measures. The results of the analysis showed that the network has a few users with a very high degree, but most users are not well-connected to their neighbours. There are also a few nodes that are very central to the network, indicaDng that they may be important "bridges" between different parts of the network.
HomeHub Ecommerce Website
The website was built using Angular for the frontend and SpringBoot for the backend, while the database used was MySQL and MongoDB. The website utilized the Yelp and Maps API to enhance its functionality, and educational videos were included by integrating the YouTube API. The end result was a fully functional website that provided user with an interactive and informative experience.
