CO₂ Data Engineering & ML Pipeline Distributed pipeline (Kafka, Spark, PostgreSQL) with K-means clustering (Silhouette ≈0.84) to help stakeholders detect global CO₂ emission patterns and target mitigation efforts.
Image-to-Prompt Inversion Recovers high-quality prompts from images for controllable generation and dataset augmentation, combining VLM captioning, diffusion models, and CLIP/LPIPS-guided optimization (0.81–0.94 CLIP similarity).
ArtBench-10 Generative Modelling Compared VAE, DCGAN, and diffusion models on ArtBench-10 (FID/KID metrics) to guide model selection based on fidelity/diversity trade-offs.
