Project: Detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder with a Facial Image using Artificial Intelligence
This project uses artificial intelligence to explore the possibility of using a facial image analysis to detect Autism in children. Early detection and diagnosis of Autism, along with treatment, is needed to minimize some of the difficulties that people with Autism encounter. Autism is usually diagnosed by a specialist through various Autism screening methods. This can be an expensive and complex process. Many children that display signs of Autism go undiagnosed because there families lack the expenses needed to pay for Autism screening and diagnosing. The development of a potential inexpensive, but accurate way to detect Autism in children is necessary for low-income families. In this project, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is utilized, along with a dataset obtained from Kaggle. This dataset consists of collected images of male and female, autistic and non-autistic children between the ages of two to fourteen years old. These images are used to train and test the CNN model. When one of the images are received by the model and importance is assigned to various features in the image, an output variable (autistic or non-autistic) is received.

Analysis of Covid-19 Vaccination Rates in Different Races
With the ready availability of COVID-19 vaccinations, it is concerning that a suprising large portion of the U.S. population still refuses to recieve one. In order to control the spread of the pandemic and possibly even erradicate it completely, it is integral that the United States vaccinate as much of the population as possible. Not only does this require ensuring that everyone who wishes to be vaccinated recieves a vaccine, it also requires that those who are unwilling to recieve the vaccine are persuaded to take it. The goal of this report is to analyze the demographics of those who are hesitant to recieve the vaccine and find the reasoning behind their decision. This will make it easier to properly persuade them to recieve the vaccine and aid in raising the United States' vaccination rates.

Detect and classify pathologies in chest X-rays using PyTorch library
Chest X-rays reveal many diseases. Early detection of disease often improves the survival chance for Patients. It is one of the important tools for Radiologists to detect and identify underlying health conditions. However, they are two major drawbacks. First, it takes time to analyze a radiograph. Second, Radiologists make errors. Whether it is an error in diagnosis or delay in diagnosis, both outcomes result in a loss of life. With the technological advances in AI, Deep Learning models address these drawbacks. The Deep Learning models analyze the X-rays like a Radiologist and accurately predict much better than the Radiologists. In our project, first, we develop a Deep Learning model and train our model to use the labels for Atelectasis, Cardiomegaly, Consolidation, Edema, and Pleural Effusion that corresponds to 5 different diseases, respectively. Second, we test our model’s performance: how well our model predicts the diseases. Finally, we visualize our model’s performance using the AUC-ROC curve.
