Reuben Rouse

I am a Data Scientist at Harman Connected Services in Mumbai. I hold a B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence from MPSTME, NMIMS.

I work mostly on computer vision. Lately I've been getting into physical AI and world models, and I'm currently building a world model as a personal project.

Selected Projects

Stowage

demo / code
An RL agent that packs 3D boxes into a container, trained with MaskablePPO and a custom actor-critic that scores box × spot pairs. Ships as a playable three.js game: watch the agent, play the puzzle, or race it.

Capsule Endoscopy Abnormality Classification

code
Two-stage classifier (normal/abnormal, then 10 classes) fusing ResNet-50, DeiT and MobileNetV3 features with attention; focal loss and weighted sampling for class imbalance.
9th Place, Capsule Vision 2024 Challenge

Indian Sign Language Translation

code
Real-time webcam translation: MediaPipe keypoints feed a BiLSTM sign classifier (30 signs, 96.4% accuracy), and Llama 3.1 turns the sign sequence into English sentences (BLEU-4 54.1).
