Aryaman GautamCharan Nagaraj Bachelor of Tech Data Science | The goal of this project was to establish an initial setup for a local deployment of HPCC Systems on K3D. K3D is a lightweight wrapper to run K3S (Rancher Lab's minimal Kubernetes distribution) in docker which makes it very easy to create single and multi-node K3S clusters in docker. | Xiaoming Wang Godji Fortil Chinmay Desai Sidharth Ganesan | Boqiang Li Ph.D. in Computer Science, Clemson University, USA | Convert Generalized Neural Network bundle (GNN) to native Tensorflow 2.0 | Neural Networks have emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing complex datasets like images, video, and time-series data, surpassing classical methods in their effectiveness. To leverage this potential, HPCC Systems offers the Generalized Neural Network Bundle (GNN), which combines the parallel processing capabilities of HPCC Systems with the robust Neural Network functionalities of Keras and TensorFlow. This project upgraded the GNN bundle to utilize the native Tensorflow 2 interface. The upgraded GNN with Tensorflow 2 demonstrated several significant advantages over its previous version. | Lili Xu Roger DevComputer Science RV College of Engineering, India | Migrate and Improve Regression Testing in Github actions | Attila Vamos | ||||

Carlos Caceres High School Student American Heritage School Delray, FL, USA | Practical Application of Generative AI Technology | During this project a generalized interface was created for HPCC Systems to access GPT and ChatGPT. From there the steps were taken to use HPCC Systems to train a neural network model capable of classifying faces into different emotions. These emotions would then be processed by the interface to create a call to OpenAI’s API from which an appropriate response would be generated. | Lili Xu Roger Dev | |||||||||
Charvi Dave Bachelor of Tech Data Science | Resume analyzer in NLP++A Resume Analyzer is the implementation of an approach to apply various techniques for analyzing the resumes a company receives and retrieving the main sections. This project has leveraged the NLP++ plugin to process resumes and extract the main headers and sections of the resume, such as skills, work experience, email, and education. | El Arbi Belfarsi Masters in Computer Science Kennesaw State University, USA | Update and Improve the Generation of Platform Artifacts for HPCC Systems Builds | Michael Gardner Ming Wang | ||||||||
Elizabeth Lorti Bachelor of International Development, | HPCC Systems Technology Marketing and Branding | As a returning HPCC Systems intern and one that has worked year-round on maintaining social media, this year, I completed a review of my own social media contributions and strategy to see what could be done to improve, as well as will conducted interviews among stakeholders and recorded minutes to best understand and communicate the needs of the Technology Summit and Community Day stakeholders. | Jessica Lorti | |||||||||
Hiroki Sato Gagana Premnath Masters in Computer Science Syracuse University of Indiana, USA | Automation Integration of HPCC Systems Cloud Native Deployment to AWS with Terraform | This project leveraged Terraform to explore the deployment of the HPCC Systems containerized application onto AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service cluster (EKS). During the internship, we developed a hpcc-aws-terraform module. This consisted of building a necessary AWS infrastructure such as virtual private cloud (VPC), subnets, necessary security group, EKS cluster and node group. | Wayne Carty Godson Fortil | Terraform CI with GitHub Actions | Godji Fortil Ming Wang | |||||||
Jessie Mao Girikratna Premnath High School Student Lambert High School Suwanee, GA, USA HPCC Systems Deployment with Various Helm Chart Configurations | This project provided two solutions for HPCC Systems deployments. The overrides solution utilizes the default values.yaml file while using other files to modify it. Overrides can be used to make small changes to the values.yaml, and mainly concentrates on Roxie and Thor. The HPCC-lite, on the other hand, does not require a custom values.yaml file, so can be used with other files to create more scenarios. | Xiaoming Wang Godson Fortil | ||||||||||
Johnny Huang Bachelor of Computer Science | Improve Error Handling and Reporting for Automated Test Systems | This project concentrated primarily on refining the GitHub Actions scripts, a vital tool for automated testing within the HPCC Systems environment. These scripts analyze the logs generated from tests, providing a granular breakdown of the executed tests. I also introduced enhancements to the scripts to improve the fault tolerance of our testing systems. These included adding logic to retry failed actions, increasing the resilience of the system to transient issues, reducing test failures, and decreasing the need for manual interventions. | Attila Vamos | |||||||||
K Dheemonth Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering | Sentiment Analysis in English | During my internship we created a number of parsers and an analyzer using NLP++(Visual Text). To do this, we defined the different rules that map to a very generic manner of supplying the sentiments rather than having for specific ones. NLP++ assisted in constructing the parsers for assigning different sentiments depending on user, cricket terms, player and team interests and team supports. The second phase centered on the sentiments that were given to emojis. Emojis in the dictionary, a capability offered by NLP++, were used to assign sentiments to the cricket tweets. | David de Hilster | |||||||||

Ilhan Gelle Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering | Resume Analyzer | The project "Resume Analyzer" leverages the power of NLP++ programming language to build a digital human reader that parses the resume text in the same we humans do. The system has made use of the “zoning” of a resume (done by a previous intern) and aims at doing an in-depth analysis of text and extracting valuable information in the way a human does. | David de Hilster | Logan Patterson Masters in Data Science | Designing Test Algorithms for Causal Model Discovery Within the HPCC Systems Causality Framework | The discovery model testing algorithm was used on four different algorithms, one of which was already implemented within Because: PC (Peter-Clark), GES (Greedy Equivalence Search), IGCI (Information Geometric Causal Inference), and RCC (Randomized Causation Coefficient. Each of the models were compared to one another based on performances with various datasets to determine viability of both the testing algorithm and the models themselves. This algorithm hopefully paves the way for easier integration and implementation of causal discovery algorithms for future developments within the HPCC Causality Framework | Roger Dev Lili XuUniversity of Texas, USA | Test Suite for the HPCC Systems Parquet Plugin | Jack del Vecchio | |||
Narayan Kandel Nisha Bagdwal Ph.D. in Computer Science, Clemson University, USA | Enhancing Performance of Distributed Neural Network with GNN Bundle | Our work addresses the challenges of parallelizing neural network training, recognizing that, in certain scenarios, superior results can be achieved by training on a single high-powered node (e.g., with GPU) or a limited number of nodes. To enhance network performance and accuracy, we pursued two distinct approaches. Firstly, we optimized neural network training by strategically setting a limit on the number of nodes used for training, thereby reducing communication overhead. | Lili Xu Roger Dev | Nisha Bagdwal Masters in Computer Science Kennesaw State University, USA | Develop an Automated ECL Watch Test Suite | Attila Vamos Chris Lo | ||||||
