The main task of the internship was to propose data-driven metareasoning algorithms and
compare the performance of the existing algorithms for the Perimeter Defense
Problem.<br><br>
<strong> Metareasoning </strong> is defined as the process of reasoning about reasoning.
It is used to monitor and control the decision-making process and improve the efficiency
and performance of algorithms.

<p style="text-align:left;">
Under the guidance of <strong>Professor Shabnam Jabeen</strong>, worked with team
members to research
and understand the topics of <strong>Quantum Machine Learning</strong>. Quantum
computing
relies on <strong>qubits</strong> which are imprecise and lead to deviations from
expected output.<br><br>
The main learning points of the stream were to understand
the theory behind <strong>Quantum Computing bits </strong>("qubit")
and <strong>Quantum Circuit Design</strong>, and learn to use <strong>IBM Qiskit™
</strong>
to deploy and run ML algorithms on complex multi-qubit hardware
over IBM servers.

<font COLOR="#282828">
The creation of Speechify was driven by the objective of enhancing accessibility
and aiding individuals with dyslexia in their reading endeavors.
Our approach involved integrating <strong>OCR</strong>, <strong>Flutter</strong>,
<strong>Python</strong>, <strong>Flask</strong>, and <strong>TTS</strong> to fashion a
tool
that's both easy to use and effective.
Notably, our efforts were recognized with the <strong>People's Choice Hack
award</strong>,
chosen from a pool of 125 projects.

<p style="text-align:left;">
Worked with a team of 4 members to create "Tango", a website focussed on connecting
people
with similar music interests. To gather information about music interests,<strong>
Spotify's API </strong> was used.
After collecting the information, the algorithm finds people that
are also within a specific range in terms of distance. The query is passed through
<strong>SQL</strong>
and the result is shown visually on maps using <strong>Google's API </strong>.
The database was maintained using <strong> CockroachDB </strong> and integrated with
<strong>Python</strong>. The website was created by using
<strong>HTML</strong>, <strong>CSS</strong> and <strong>Flask</strong>. The code was
shared and maintained using <strong>Github</strong>.
