Chandana18G/README.md

Hi, I'm Chandana Gurusiddappa 👋

M.Sc. student in Applied Data Science & AI at SRH University, based in Regensburg, Germany. I build machine-learning systems end to end: from messy public data to a model that is honestly evaluated and a tool someone can use.

🔎 Looking for a working-student role (Werkstudent) in data science, machine learning or applied GenAI, in Regensburg or remote: up to 20 h/week during the semester, full-time in semester breaks.

Projects

Generative AI & NLP

Project What it does Highlights
Document Q&A Assistant (RAG)
Oct 2026
Answers questions about your own PDFs and notes from the passages it retrieves, cites them, and refuses to guess. Claude, OpenAI, Ollama or a free local LLM. Evaluated on 1,000 SQuAD 2.0 questions: right passage ranked 1st for 88% (hybrid BM25 + FAISS + cross-encoder re-ranking) · refuses 93% of off-topic questions · 3 bugs found by its own evaluation · 22 unit tests
NLP News Intelligence
Jun 2026
Classical NLP vs. Sentence-BERT vs. LDA on 127,600 AG News articles: classification, semantic search, topic discovery. 91.2% accuracy · semantic search P@5 0.844 vs. 0.776 keyword
Motor Insurance Claims Copilot
M.Sc. group project · Jun 2026
Audit-safe GenAI copilot for motor insurance claims: schema-constrained extraction, policy-scoped hybrid retrieval (BM25 + dense) and deterministic rule engines. Human-in-the-loop (the AI never decides) · abstains on conflicting evidence · source-span citation checks · hash-chained audit log · 8-stage evaluation incl. prompt injection & fairness

Machine learning, health & forecasting

Project What it does Highlights
German Electricity Price Forecasting
Oct 2026
Forecasts tomorrow's hourly day-ahead price for Germany/Luxembourg from 8 years of public SMARD data, using only information available before the auction. 26% lower error than the naive forecast (MAE 22.0 vs 29.7 EUR/MWh) · 8,712-hour rolling-origin backtest · leakage tests
COVID-19 ICU & Mortality Forecasting
M.Sc. project · 2026
Forecasts ICU occupancy and deaths for 4 regions, comparing Linear, Random Forest and XGBoost with leakage-free time-series validation. −87% MAE vs. linear baseline (Germany) · found the Omicron regime shift in the residuals
Gut Transit in ICU Trauma Patients (Biostatistics)
M.Sc. project · Mar 2026
Statistical replication of Rauch et al. (2012): SmartPill capsule transit times in 8 ventilated trauma patients vs 87 healthy volunteers. Gastric emptying 4.5× slower (13.9 h vs 3.0 h, Mann–Whitney p < .001) · χ²/Fisher, ANOVA, distribution fitting · showed Pearson vs Spearman changes the conclusion
EMG Muscle Fatigue Classification
M.Sc. project · Jun 2026
sEMG signal processing + ML for fatigue detection in unseen people: 9,540 windows from 14 participants, 10 time- and frequency-domain features. Leave-one-subject-out · mean F1 0.416 vs 0.625 for a trivial baseline: features differ by group, but don't yet transfer across people

Data analytics & BI

Project What it does Highlights
EU Safety Gate Motor Vehicle Recalls Dashboard
Oct 2026
Power BI dashboard on 4,184 motor-vehicle recall alerts from the EU Safety Gate system (2016–2026): brands, components, hazards and the countries affected. Every card matches an independent Python recount · 9 data issues found and fixed · Power Query, DAX
