A king of yellow journalism, fake news is false information and hoaxes spread through social media and other online media to achieve a political agenda. In this data science project idea, we will use Python to build a model that can accurately detect whether a piece of news is real or fake. We’ll build a TfidfVectorizer and use a PassiveAggressiveClassifier to classify news into “Real” and “Fake”. We’ll be using a dataset of shape 7796×4 and execute everything in Jupyter Lab.

The lines drawn on the roads guide human drivers where the lanes are. It also refers to the direction to steer the vehicle. This application is cardinal for developing driverless cars.

You can build an application having the ability to identify track lines from input images or continuous video frames.

Sentiment analysis is the act of analyzing words to determine sentiments and opinions that may be positive or negative in polarity. This is a type of classification where the classes may be binary (positive and negative) or multiple (happy, angry, sad, disgusted,..). We’ll implement this data science project in the language R and use the dataset by the ‘janeaustenR’ package. We will use general-purpose lexicons like AFINN, bing, and loughran, perform an inner join, and in the end, we’ll build a word cloud to display the result.

We have started using data science to improve healthcare and services – if we can predict a disease early, it has many advantages on the prognosis. So in this data science project idea, we will learn to detect Parkinson’s Disease with Python. This is a neurodegenerative, progressive disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement and causes tremors and stiffness. This affects dopamine-producing neurons in the brain and every year, it affects more than 1 million individuals in India.

How many times has it occurred to you that even after seeing, you don’t remember the name of the color? There can be 16 million colors based on the different RGB color values but we only remember a few. So in this project, we are going to build an interactive app that will detect the selected color from any image. To implement this we will need a labeled data of all the known colors then we will calculate which color resembles the most with the selected color value.

There are many famous deep learning projects on MRI scan dataset. One of them is Brain Tumor detection. You can use transfer learning on these MRI scans to get the required features for classification. Or you can train your own convolution neural network from scratch to detect brain tumors.

Disease detection in plants plays a very important role in the field of agriculture. This Data Science project aims to provide an image-based automatic inspection interface. It involves the use of self designed image processing and deep learning techniques. It will categorize plant leaves as healthy or infected.

This data science project uses librosa to perform Speech Emotion Recognition. SER is the process of trying to recognize human emotion and affective states from speech. Since we use tone and pitch to express emotion through voice, SER is possible; but it is tough because emotions are subjective and annotating audio is challenging. We’ll use the mfcc, chroma, and mel features and use the RAVDESS dataset to recognize emotion on. We’ll build an MLP Classifier for the model.

This is an interesting data science project with Python. Using just one image, you’ll learn to predict the gender and age range of an individual. In this, we introduce you to Computer Vision and its principles. We’ll build a Convolutional Neural Network and use models trained by Tal Hassner and Gil Levi for the Adience dataset. We’ll use some .pb, .pbtxt, .prototxt, and .caffemodel files along the way.

Diabetic Retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness. You can develop an automatic method of diabetic retinopathy screening. You can train a neural network on retina images of affected and normal people. This project will classify whether the patient has retinopathy or not.

This is a data visualization project with ggplot2 where we’ll use R and its libraries and analyze various parameters like trips by the hours in a day and trips during months in a year. We’ll use the Uber Pickups in New York City dataset and create visualizations for different time-frames of the year. This tells us how time affects customer trips.

Drowsy driving is extremely dangerous and around thousands of accidents happen each year due to drivers falling asleep while driving. In this Python project, we will build a system that can detect sleepy drivers and also alert them by beeping alarm.

This project is implemented using Keras and OpenCV. We will use OpenCV for face and eye detection and with Keras, we will classify the state of the eye (Open or Close) using Deep neural network techniques.

Chatbots are an essential part of the business. Many businesses has to offer services to their customers and it needs a lot of manpower, time and effort to handle customers. The chatbots can automate most of the customer interaction by answering some of the frequent questions that are asked by the customers. There are mainly two types of chatbots: Domain-specific and Open-domain chatbots. The domain-specific chatbot is often used to solve a particular problem. So you need to customize it smartly to work effectively in your domain. The Open-domain chatbots can be asked any type of question so it requires huge amounts of data to train.

The MNIST dataset of handwritten digits is widespread among the data scientists and machine learning enthusiasts. It is an amazing project to get started with the data science and understand the processes involved in a project. The project is implemented using the Convolutional Neural Networks and then for real-time prediction we also build a nice graphical user interface to draw digits on a canvas and then the model will predict the digit.

This is an interesting data science project. Describing what’s in an image is an easy task for humans but for computers, an image is just a bunch of numbers that represent the color value of each pixel. So this is a difficult task for computers to understand what is in the image and then generating the description in Natural language like English is another difficult task. This project uses deep learning techniques where we implement a Convolutional neural network (CNN) with Recurrent Neural Network( LSTM) to build the image caption generator.

By now, you’ve begun to understand the methods and concepts. Let’s move on to some advanced data science projects. In this project, we’ll use R with algorithms like Decision Trees, Logistic Regression, Artificial Neural Networks, and Gradient Boosting Classifier. We’ll use the Card Transactions dataset to classify credit card transactions into fraudulent and genuine. We’ll fit the different models and plot performance curves for them.

In this data science project, we’ll use R to perform a movie recommendation through machine learning. A recommendation system sends out suggestions to users through a filtering process based on other users’ preferences and browsing history. If A and B like Home Alone and B likes Mean Girls, it can be suggested to A – they might like it too. This keeps customers engaged with the platform.

This is one of the most popular projects in Data Science. Before running any campaign companies create different groups of customers.

Customer Segmentation is a popular application of unsupervised learning. Using clustering, companies identify segments of customers to target the potential user base. They divide customers into groups according to common characteristics like gender, age, interests, and spending habits so they can market to each group effectively. We’ll use K-means clustering and also visualize the gender and age distributions. Then, we’ll analyze their annual incomes and spending scores.

Coming back to the medical contributions of data science, let’s learn to detect breast cancer with Python. We’ll use the IDC_regular dataset to detect the presence of Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, the most common form of breast cancer. It develops in a milk duct invading the fibrous or fatty breast tissue outside the duct. In this data science project idea, we’ll use Deep Learning and the Keras library for classification.

Traffic signs and rules are very important that every driver must follow to avoid any accident. To follow the rule one must first understand how the traffic sign looks like. A human has to learn all the traffic signs before they are given the license to drive any vehicle. But now autonomous vehicles are rising and there will be no human drivers in the upcoming future. In the Traffic signs recognition project, you will learn how a program can identify the type of traffic sign by taking an image as input. The German Traffic signs recognition benchmark dataset (GTSRB) is used to build a Deep Neural Network to recognize the class a traffic sign belongs to. We also build a simple GUI to interact with the application.
