Pranjal Daga
Machine Learning Product Management
Hello World
Work
Currently, I am working as a Machine Learning Product Manager at Cisco Innovation Labs. I also serve as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at a VC Fund called Vonzos Partners.
My background is in Machine Learning and Entrepreneurship, among other things.
I am a hackathon junkie and love to build new things from scratch. You can check out my hackathon projects here.
Always looking to collaborate with awesome folks to explore a domain, identify problems and build quantifiable solutions. Please reach out!

Research Projects
THIS IS AN OLD LIST!
Most of my projects are listed on LinkedIn: Click here
Benchmarking Deep Learning Tools
Supervisor: Prof. Alok Choudhary, Prof. Ankit Agrawal
Compared various deep learning software packages like Torch, Theano, Caffe on different metrics (accuracy, timing, memory usage, etc.) for different deep algorithms.
Understanding Climate Change: A Data Driven Approach
UNDERGRADUATE THESIS
Supervisor: Prof. Alok Choudhary, Northwestern University, IL USA
- Extending the work of Ghosh et al to global and multi-climate model data.
- Developing a parallel C (MPI) code that emulates the original MATLAB script.
- Next goal will be downloading the massive climate precipitation NetCDF data from the servers.
Exploring Deep Learning applications to fMRI
Supervisor: Dr. Irina Rish, IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY USA
- Used deepnet package to learn a 3-layer Boltzmann machine for pretraining.
- Dataset to be used: pain, schizophrenia, cocaine addiction.
Intelligent Diabetes Management
Supervisor: Prof. Russ Greiner, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
This research internship was fully supported by MITACS Globalink Fellowship Grant.
Developing a cross platform app Edmonton Automated Sugar Intelligence (EASI) which recommends insulin dose based on the patient's input and settings set up by his/her diabetologist.
- Developed a tool which automatically adjusts the amount of insulin to be injected.
Modified T1DMS Simulator to use it with 20 in-silico patients.
- Demonstrated that a supervised learning approach is better than certain reinforcement
learning techniques like SARSA, Actor-Critic Model.
MIT SANA Mobile: Protocol Builder
Supervisors: Dr. Thomas Brennan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Prof. Senthil Jayavel, VIT University
Sana is a standard-focused open-source end-to-end telemedicine system that facilitates the capture of medical data and physiological signals through a fully programmable work ow interface.
- Built a database that contains rapid search and a training set for (future) automated A.I. classification of images, audio and video.
- Constructed a web based protocol for Clinicians.
- Worked on integrating SANA with OpenMRS (a Medical Record System) for portability.
Machine Learning Approach for Detection and Supervision of Parkinson's Disease
Supervisor: Prof. B.K. Tripathy
Developing an intelligent mobile application that collects patient input through tests (Gait,Handwriting, Speech, Tremors) and provides interactive feedback to patients and monitoring summaries for physicians.
Discovery of hidden relationships through unsupervised learning (clustering), leading to the identification of dierent Parkinson's disease variations.
Automated ranking of different inputs (attributes) by measuring their information content.
Used University of California, Irvine’s PD Telemonitoring dataset.
"Deep" Recommendation System
Supervisor: Prof. B.K. Tripathy
- Proposed a ’collaborative’ deep learning model which tightly couples convolutional neural networks and probabilistic matrix factorization.
- Better performance than Collaborative Filtering was shown using MovieLens dataset.
"Learning" Personality from Social Posts
Supervisor: Prof. B.K. Tripathy
- Scrutinized linguistic content from Facebook, extracting keywords to analyze personality.
- Used a linear SVM for classifying sex and ridge regression for predicting age.
Adaptive GPS Algorithm using Djiktras Techniques
Supervisor: Prof. Gayathri P.
Designed a hybrid algorithm using Fuzzy Logic allowing user to incorporate information such as traffic levels, weather conditions and construction zones to find an optimal shortest distance between two points with the help of Djikstras Algorithm.
Implementation Projects
THIS LIST IS VERY OLD!
Can't believe there are no hackathon projects here.
Check out my Devpost: Click here
Developed registration software for external and internal participants to register for events in graVITas'13- An International TechnoManagement fest at VIT Vellore, India.
Fixed a number of bugs in the ocial graVITas website.
Tools Used: HTML, CSS, PHP MySQL, Javascript etc.
Appreciated by Microsoft App Excellence Lab as a "Rockstar" app at the Windows 8 AppFest held at Bangalore, India.
Also, Featured in the Top 500 Windows 8 apps.
Fastest way to take quick notes in the midst of doing other activities and share them.
Tools Used: Visual Studio using HTML, CSS, Javascript.
• Played the role of a committer and wrote end-user documentation and cited examples.
• Debugged the code and documented the whole development process.Leadership
