Palash Taneja, alumni of DPS Rohini (2017-18) was invited to meet Tim Cook, CEO Apple in San Jose, US where he presented his project on neural language processing (NLP) based algorithms that can change the language of a YouTube video as one watches it. Providing language accessibility is the core of his idea, i.e. to utilize AI and ML to break the language barrier. His algorithms can translate nearly 50 languages on the go. The idea was to make rich and useful content accessible to all. Cook, who wants coding to become the second language in schools, appreciated Palash's idea. Palash was inspired watching his father work on Excel sheets and visual charts. His first foray into coding was with Raspberry Pi while in Class VIII. He created a website app to manage hospital beds (Uber for hospital beds). Palash also created a tool that predicts dengue fever outbreaks through Machine Learning, which achieved 3,000 page views a month during outbreaks. In addition to this, he created an app called ‘Scholarship’ that creates music from dance moves. He said it's an educational app for people who want to combine learning music with rhythm.
