Awesome Deep Learning Project Ideas

Awesome

A curated list of practical deep learning and machine learning project ideas

  • 30+ ideas
  • Relevant to both the academia and industry
  • Ranges from beginner friendly to research projects

Contents

  • Text - With some topics about Natural language processing

  • Forecasting - Most of the topics in this section is about Time Series and similar forecasting challenges

  • Recommendation Systems

  • Vision - With topics about image and video processing

  • Covid19 - Multi or Single Domain ideas from the Covid19 theme

  • Music and Audio - These topics are about combining ideas from language and audio to understand music

  • Conclusion

Covid19

  • Bing Coronavirus

    • Classify Bing Queries as either specific (e.g. about a specific location) or generic. You might have to figure out a more exact definition of specific or generic though
    • Dataset: BingCoronavirusQuerySet

  • Covid Clinical Data

    • Rank and sort high risk patients using clinical data. Pick an interpretable approach if you can.
    • Dataset: CovidClinicalData

If you haven't already, checkout Kaggle's Covid19 Section as well. It has datasets and ideas both.

Text

Natural Language Understanding

  • Automated essay grading

    • The purpose of this project is to implement and train machine learning algorithms to automatically assess and grade essay responses.

FAQ

  • Can I use the ideas here for my thesis? Yes, totally! I'd love to know how it went.

  • Do you have any advice before I start my project? Advice for Short Term Machine Learning Projects by Tim R. is a pretty good starting point!

  • Would you like to share my solution/code to a problem here? Sure - why not?

    Go to the GitHub issues tab in this repository and let me know there.

  • How can I add my ideas here? Just send a pull request and we'll discuss?

  • Hey, something is wrong here! Yikes, I am sorry. Please tell me by raising a GitHub issue.

    I'll fix it as soon as possible.
