Projects
Brain Tumor Classification
A Flask-based web application designed to assist in the diagnosis of brain tumors using MRI scans. It employs a machine learning model to detect three types of brain tumors and categorized into four classes: glioma, meningioma, pituitary tumor, and no tumor.
Key Highlights:
- High Accuracy: It achieves 99.7% accuracy in classifying brain tumors.
- Model Explainability: Incorporates explainability features to help users understand the model's predictions.
- Web Interface: Built with Flask, the application provides a user-friendly interface for uploading MRI images and viewing predictions.

Legal case classification
A Flask-based web application designed to assist legal professionals in analyzing and classifying legal cases. By using machine learning techniques, the app predicts whether a case pertains to housing or eviction based on the textual information provided.
Key Highlights:
- Flask Web Application: Provides a user-friendly interface for uploading legal case documents and viewing classification results.
- Explainable AI: Visualizes the most influential words from the models, enhancing transparency and interpretability of predictions.
