               Involves use of NLP tools, Python NLTK, Dendropy

  • Analysis and Implementation of Network flow algorithms
               First part of the project involves analyzing behavior of flow algorithms for max-flow , min-cost circulation problem on                            different graph topology and deriving heuristics to improve the performance of these algorithms on dense graphs.
                Second part involves utilizing this heuristic in an image segmentation problem. 
                Implementation in Python, C++
