Detailed Project Descriptions


Sentimental Analysis of Tweets                                                                                  Fall 2013

People share their preferences on Twitter using “tweets” which provide rich information for companies/institutes who want to know about whether people like a certain product, movie, or service.

In this work, a model was developed to predict the movie popularity from sentiment analysis of Twitter data talking about movies. Analysis of the tweets in 2009 and recent tweets in 2012 was done and manually tweets were labelled to create a training set, and train a classifier to classify the tweets into: positive, negative, neutral, and irrelevant. Further a metric was developed to capture the relationship between sentiment analysis and the box office results of movies. Finally the model predicted the Box Office results by classifying the movie as three categories: Hit, Flop, and Average. The project also includes investigation on related topics like the relationship between tweet sent time and tweet number.

Spatial Search, content extraction and Crawling the World Wide Web            Spring 2012

Used Apache Tika parsers to extract text from a set of over 2000 PDF files and searched for content in the dataset

Created a program using Apache Nutch to crawl the world wide web, and download contents from a website and unraveled the date from the segmented, distributed binary data that Nutch stored in Apache Hadoop

Spatial search and visualization: Geo-tagging each of the PDF files from a local repository using the Geonames.org dataset  and using Apache Solr search engine technology to load the geo-tagged data into Solr, making it available for spatial search.
Created a web page that enables searching the PDF files for keywords and integrated web page with Google Maps to plot locations of the search results on a map.

Technologies Used: Apache Tika, Apache Nutch, Apache Solr/SIS
Programming Language Used: Java
Platform: Ubuntu, Windows

Spatial Databases Access Point Tracker                                                                 Spring 2012


In this application, we consider a list of wireless internet access point in the spatial DB, we need a system to keep tracking the location of wireless access-point and people who covered by wireless internet access. Each building can be regarded as polygons.

This program first design and create spatial database. At front end the GUI  has an 820x580 map panel that shows 4 kind of query on the spatial DB.

4 kinds of queries: Whole Region, Range Query, Point Query, Find AP-covered people.

Programming Language Used: Java (AWT, Swing)
Database Used: Spatial Database features (Oracle 11g)

Operating System Simulation using Nachos OS                                                   Spring 2012

The project is to build an operating system from scratch. Initially a very simple, but functional, operating system called Nachos (Not Another Completely Heuristic Operating System) was used and we had to improve the functionality and performance of Nachos.

The project has four phases, corresponding to four major pieces of a modern operating system:
1. Thread Management (Multi-Threading)
2. Multiprogramming
3. File systems and Virtual Memory
4. Networking

Phases are built on previous phases; for example, the file system uses thread management routines. The end result of the project is a distributed application with each player on a different computer connected by a network.

Programming Language used: C/C++
