This serves as a repository of ideas that have popped into my head. As I have time, I play around with one.
- Mute Button - Automatically mute television commercials using machine learning and Spark
- NYC Taxi - A cabbie once told me that the length of each trip he takes is much longer than it was before. Use math to prove/disprove it. This data needs a lot of cleanup and profiling before it can be properly analyzed. NYC Taxi Data Cleanup Project
- Heart Rate Anomaly Detector - Automatically detect afib in the fitbit HR
- Picam Fun - Detect movements and objects from images work started here
- Listicle - Organize online articles for reading frontend backend
- ML Playground - Spark has some amazing scalable tools for machine learning. Some tooling to help common workflows and optimize for model learning is helpful
- Stocks - measure quarterly results of my holdings in Jupyter Notebooks. All analysis is in python. This is a private repo.
- Fantasy Football Stats - do some quick analysis to help me lose slightly fewer fantasy football games
- Computer Vision Jigsaw Puzzle Solver - Given an image of the final product and an image of each piece, solve a jigsaw puzzle
Thoughts for next year:
- Automated Flight Path - program a drone to fly places
- Push button drink logger - program a pi to record a beer or other kind of drink when I push a hardware button. Bonus points for adding a camera and automated drink/face recognition
- Tour Guide - When I'm within a certain distance from a landmark, show the wikipedia page of that landmark to me. Helpful everytime I'm in Minsk
