Name: Prateek Jain Educational Qualifications: BTech, Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur CPI: 9.0/10 Summer Training : Organization: Lucent Technologies, Bell Labs City: Murray Hill, New Jersey, USA Work: The training program was structured around 3 tasks: 1. PIMENT: PimenT is a system that enables XML query personalization by query rewriting and answer ranking. I was responsible for implementation of PimenT user interface and developing a parser for Xquery Full Text expression. 2. XSQLP: I designed and implemented a Web demo for XML Subtree Query Language Platform (XSQLP), which was based largely on PhP scripts. The demo will soon be available online on Lucent server. 3. Incognito: I was responsible for integrating the Vortex Rules engine with XSQLP, which was needed for the Incognito project. Achievements: All the tasks were completed to satisfaction. During the work we wrote a paper on PimenT, which was published in VLDB conference: S. Amer-Yahia, Irini Fundulaki, Prateek Jain, L Lakshmanan: Personalizing XML Text Search in PimenT. In Proceedings VLDB, Trondheim, Norway, September 2005. Key Projects: * Transforming Programs to allow Static Analysis to do better: This project is being done as the final year project. The project aims at study of Static Analysis and the task is to change the input programs in a way so that the analyzers can perform better. Achievements: A paper has been published in the WODA 2006. * Drools Editor as a plugin for Eclipse platform: The project aimed at development of editor for Drools which is a rules engine used extensively for formulating business rules in the corporate world. Achievements: The project was completed to satisfaction and the company (Contata Solutions, US) bought all rights to the software, after evaluating its performance. *3D Hand Reconstruction from 2D image: The aim of the project was to reconstruct a 3D model of hand from a single 2D image. Several algorithms were used to reach the desired accuracy for the task and the project was completed successfully. *Automation of the ETL process : During the project work was done on automating the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process. I developed an engine to map the specifications (XML) to SQL queries using XSLT. *Miscellaneous Projects - Development of compiler for Fortran90. - Automatic Speech Segmentation System using Neural Networks. - Projects on Robo-soccer and Robocode. - Robot functioning on speech signals. - Development of Nachos Operating System. - Development of a download accelerator. Other Skills: Logo and website designing, Flash designing and application development
