A list of practical Deep Learning projects
These projects are divided in multiple categories, same problem may appear in more than one categories.
Problems are motivated by the ones shared at:
- Text - include NLP tasks here for now
- Forecasting - mostly Time Series and similar forecasting challenges
- Recommender Systems
- Vision - includes image and video processing
Autonomous Tagging of Stack Overflow Questions

- Dataset: StackLite or 10% sample
Keyword/Concept Identification
- Identify keywords from millions of text questions
- Dataset: StackOverflow Questions Sample by Facebook
Topics Identification
- Multi-label classification of printed media articles to topics
- Dataset: Greek Media Monitoring Multilabel Classification
Automated Essay Grading
- The purpose of this project is to implement and train machine learning algorithms to automatically assess and grade essay responses.
- Dataset: Essays with human graded scores
Sentence to Sentence Semantic Similarity
- Can you identify question pairs that have the same intent? Or sentences that have the same meaning?
- Dataset: Quora Question Pairs with similar questions marked
Open Domain Question Answering
- Can you build a bot which answers questions according to the student's age or her curriculum?
- Facebook's FAIR built similar for Wikipedia
- Dataset: NCERT books for K-12/school students in India
Copy-cat Bot

Can I use the ideas here for my thesis? Yeah, totally. I'd love to know how it went.
Do you want to share my solution/code to a problem here? Yeah, sure - why not? Go to Github issues in the repository and let me know there.
How can I add my ideas here? Just send a pull request and we'll discuss?
Hey @NirantK, something is wrong here! Yikes, I am sorry. Please tell me by raising a Github issue. I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.
