Project 8: GAN based interior designs

Project Overview:
A GAN is a popular model for unsupervised machine learning where two neural networks — a generator and a discriminator, interact with each other. The generator generates images out of random noise it takes as input; The discriminator detects whether these generated images are fake or real (by comparing them to the images in a dataset). This process continues for several epochs until the discriminator loss between fake and real achieves its minimum. As the loss reaches the minimum, the generator becomes sufficiently skilled in generating images similar to those in the original dataset. AI-driven innovation with GANs has many applications in creative industries such as design. Be it architectural design, landscape design or interiors design, the possibilities are endless. Such generated designs have the potential to drive rapid growth and profits in the design industry. The goal of this project is to generate realistic new interior room designs by training a GAN network on the IKEA Interior Design Dataset.

Project 9: Image-based plant disease identification

Project Overview:
Crop losses due to diseases are a major threat to food security every year, across countries. Conventionally, plant diseases were detected through a visual examination of the affected plants by plant pathology experts. This was often possible only after major damage had already occurred, so treatments were of limited or no use. Recently, access to smartphone based image capturing has highly increased amongst farmers and agriculturists. This has led to the successful adoption of plant disease diagnostic applications based on deep learning techniques. This is of immense value in the field of agriculture and an excellent tool for faster identification and treatment of crop diseases. It holds key importance in preventing crop based food and economic losses. The goal of this project is to build a convolutional neural network or to use transfer learning and develop a plant disease identification tool.

Project 10: Food Image Segmentation

Project Overview:
Worldwide, obesity has nearly tripled since 1975. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight (WHO sources). In such a situation, documenting dietary caloric intake is crucial to manage weight loss. Food image segmentation is a critical and indispensable task for developing health-related applications such as automated estimation of food calories and nutrients as a means for dietary monitoring. One of the challenges in this area is the improvement of accuracy in dietary assessment by food image analysis. However, how to derive the food information (e.g., food type and portion size) from food images effectively is a challenging task and an open research problem. In this project, participants are expected to make a model that can segment the food components present in an input food image and build an application that can predict the food class and the food portions from it.
