Abhishek Vajragattepalya Seetharamaiah

M.S. Computer Science · Virginia Commonwealth University

I'm a graduate student in Computer Science at Virginia Commonwealth University with a focus on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science.

I enjoy building end-to-end AI systems: from data preprocessing and feature engineering to model training, evaluation, and deployment. Recent work includes a content-based image retrieval system in MATLAB, a hotel-review exploration app powered by LangGraph and Streamlit, and quantum optimization experiments with QAOA.

Education

  • Virginia Commonwealth University – M.S. in Computer Science (AI/ML focus), expected Dec 2025
  • Presidency University – B.Tech. in Information Science and Engineering

Projects

Some of the projects I've worked on recently.

CBIR project

Content-Based Image Retrieval

MATLAB · Image Features · Similarity Search

Built a CBIR system using 6-bit color code histograms and texture features to retrieve visually similar images from a dataset. Implemented custom feature extraction, distance metrics, and query-by-example search.

Hotel Explorer

Hotel Explorer + AI Summarizer

Python · LangGraph · Streamlit

Human-in-the-loop tool that summarizes hotel reviews and supports interactive exploration using multi-agent workflows, style-guided responses, and review history logging.

QAOA

QAOA for Vertex Cover

Qiskit · Quantum Optimization

Implemented QAOA for vertex cover on small graphs, experimenting with depth, penalty parameters, and optimizer settings. Compared quantum solutions against classical baselines and analyzed trade-offs.
