nuPlanPyTorchDDPM / DDIMPDM-ScoreA100 / SLURM

A controlled study of when generative (diffusion) planners actually beat deterministic ones on nuPlan closed-loop, and whether that advantage survives once logged playback is replaced with realistic reactive agents. Baselines span behavior cloning, a MILE-style world model, and a VLA-conditioned policy, scored on PDM-Score; DDPM and DDIM are implemented from scratch in PyTorch and trained on A100s via SLURM.

  • training loss 0.75 → 0.032
  • ~100× faster sampling with deterministic DDIM
  • honest failure-mode analysis + reusable harness

MediaPipeRTMPoseYOLOChromaDBFastAPI

A computer-vision pipeline for basketball jump-shot analysis: a pluggable pose stack (MediaPipe + RTMPose) feeds a canonical 12-joint schema, an 8D kinematic fingerprint is matched against active NBA players via ChromaDB vector search, and an LLM returns coaching feedback. Presented at the YC × Google DeepMind hackathon; won a prize at the AI Prototype to Product hackathon.

  • canonical 12-joint schema → 8D fingerprint
  • vector match vs active NBA players
  • injury-risk: knee valgus, landing, upper-extremity load

Vision Transformer from scratch

2025 – present

PyTorchTransformersSentinel-2LEVIR-CD

A ViT built from scratch in PyTorch for bi-temporal urban change detection on Sentinel-2 imagery: patch embedding, positional encoding, multi-head self-attention, and a Siamese encoder with a segmentation decoder, no pretrained modules. Evaluated honestly against tuned CNN baselines on IoU, F1, Dice, precision, and recall.

  • ViT: F1 0.82, IoU 0.70
  • tuned baselines: U-Net 0.88, Swin 0.86 (F1)
  • a clear, reported gap, not a cherry-picked win

Next-Generation E-Drivetrain for Automated Mobile Robots: Condition Monitoring

NTU Singapore · Final Year Project · 2024 · FYP Research Award

Condition monitoring of electric drivetrains for autonomous mobile robots, using MATLAB and neural-network models to predict drivetrain performance parameters from sensor data. The study quantified how training-data volume affects prediction accuracy and demonstrated the viability of real-time, multi-parameter drivetrain monitoring.
