Project 1: Fake News Detection using Machine

Learning and Deep Learning

Fake news detection is a critical challenge in today’s digital
world as misinformation spreads rapidly through social media.
This project aims to build a machine learning and deep
learning-based model that can classify news articles as fake
Project
or real using textual data. The significance lies in enhancing
Summary
trust in online information and providing tools for
combating misinformation. Unlike existing systems, the
project will explore transformer-based models (BERT)
alongside traditional ML methods for a robust comparison.

Project 2: Predictive Maintenance in
Manufacturing using IoT Data
Project Unplanned machine failures lead to downtime and financial
Summary loss in industries. This project focuses on building a predictive
maintenance model using sensor data to predict failures
before they occur. It has high industry value by reducing
costs, improving safety, and increasing equipment lifespan.
The gap addressed is combining time-series ML models with
deep learning approaches (e.g., LSTMs for sequential data).

Project 3: Disease Prediction using Medical Data
(Diabetes/Heart Disease)
Project Healthcare systems increasingly rely on AI to support early
Summary diagnosis. This project aims to build a disease prediction
system (e.g., diabetes or heart disease) using patient medical
records. The significance lies in supporting doctors with risk
analysis and enabling preventive healthcare. Unlike existing
single-model approaches, this project will test ensemble ML
methods vs. deep learning for better accuracy.
