American Sign Language Recognition

The project explored various models (3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), 2D CNN + LSTM, 2D CNN) to be used in an American Sign Language (ASL) classification project with video input. This model is deployed via an interactive graphical user interface so that the model acts as an educational tool for users.

RL²

This project explores reinforcement learning in Rocket League, training an AI agent to perform complex in-game maneuvers such as ball control, shooting, and dribbling. Using deep reinforcement learning techniques, the agent improves over time, competing against human players and demonstrating advanced gameplay strategies.
