Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Aakanksha Jain, Tejaskumar Bhatt, Darshita kalyani, Jatin Modh, Abhishek Jain
Abstract - The effectiveness of the deep learning models ResNet50, MobileNetV2, VGG16, InceptionV3, and EfficientNetB0 in identifying the freshness of food is evaluated in this study using visual analysis. In resource-constrained situations, these designs are ideal for automated food quality inspection and real-time freshness monitoring as they offer higher accuracy or computational efficiency. Transform learning are used to develop binary classifiers, which were then trained on a dataset of annotated food photos and assessed for efficiency and accuracy. After undergoing standardized preprocessing, the models' capacity to differentiate between fresh and stale food in a variety of test photos was evaluated. The results show the advantages and disadvantages of each model. The current stream of research frequently concentrates on generic picture classification tasks instead of the particular difficulties of distinguishing subtle visual differences in food freshness, leaving a gap in knowledge of model robustness under real-world conditions. The study advances deep learning applications in food quality evaluation by offering useful insights for model selection based on operational requirements.

A Hardware Security Review of RISC-V
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Jyotiprakash Mishra, Sanjay K. Sahay, Aman Pathak
Abstract - RISC-V is an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) designed with a modular and extensible structure, allowing for customizable implementations. Its simplified base ISA, combined with optional standard and custom extensions, provides flexibility for a wide range of computing applications, from embedded systems to high-performance computing. Its open design accelerates innovation and customization but also introduces security challenges by exposing the architecture to potential attacks. While RISC-V offers significant advantages, its lack of standardized security features compared to proprietary ISAs like ARM and x86 highlights persistent risks, particularly in security-critical applications. For this reason, scrutiny of RISC-V’s security is crucial due to its widespread use in academia and its adoption by countries like India and China, who are looking to benefit from its open nature. We review the current security challenges in RISC-V, examining key vulnerabilities that exist in areas such as the microarchitecture, trusted execution environments, secure enclaves, secure boot, cryptographic instruction set architectures, memory encryption, and electromagnetic fault injection attacks. This review aims to cater to the needs of modern researchers for the development and implementation of the RISC-V ISA in a secure manner.

Abstract - Dynamic load balancing in distributed computing environments, especially with heterogeneous nodes, remains a significant challenge due to the fluctuating nature of workloads and resource availability. This paper presents a novel approach leveraging Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), a reinforcement learning algorithm, for optimal workload allocation in real-time systems. The system aims to minimize latency and maximize resource utilization by dynamically adapting to varying node metrics, including CPU usage, memory load, and latency. The DDPG model is trained on simulated state data, and real-time inference is performed through an API Gateway, enabling seamless integration with a five-node cluster. Results demonstrate that the proposed system outperforms traditional static and heuristic approaches in balancing workloads, optimizing resource utilization, and reducing latency. The approach is scalable, robust, and easily adaptable for edge and hybrid cloud architectures, providing a cost-effective solution for dynamic load balancing in distributed systems. This work bridges the gap between traditional cloud infrastructure and edge computing, ensuring efficient resource management in real-time systems.

Cache and Speculative Side Channel Attacks: A Comprehensive Review
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Jyotiprakash Mishra, Sanjay K. Sahay, Aman Pathak
Abstract - Modern processors have achieved significant performance enhancements through the implementation of speculative execution. These enhancements stem from hardware optimizations that not only improve performance but also introduce side channels, which are exploited to undermine the system’s security model. Following the discovery of Spectre, which revealed that speculative execution pipelines could bypass security boundaries, nearly all microarchitectural structures and hardware optimizations have become targets for exploitation. In the wake of these attacks, the immediate response from organizations releasing mitigation patches led to noticeable performance degradation overnight, without fully addressing the underlying issues. This paper provides a comprehensive review of architecture-agnostic attacks on modern computing systems, tracing their evolution from the initial emergence of Spectre to contemporary attacks targeting Apple Silicon. We detail the mechanisms of these attacks, the environments in which they are exploited, and their broader security implications. Furthermore, we analyze various mitigation strategies that have been proposed, acknowledging that these strategies often fail to fully resolve the issues and typically incur a performance cost. These mitigation patterns include proposed changes in operating systems, hardware, and compilers. This review aims to provide researchers and architects with the foundational knowledge needed to develop more effective mitigation strategies that address the vulnerabilities while minimizing performance overhead.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Ankit Agarwal, Ankur Pandey, Ashlesh Kumar, Dhanush D, Swetha G
Abstract - Steady-State Visual Evoked Potential (SSVEP)-based Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are a promising tool for non-invasive neural communication and control, particularly for individuals with severe physical or medical conditions that limit conventional interaction. However, accurately detecting and classifying SSVEP signals remains challenging due to noise and inter-subject variability. This study evaluates the performance of established classification methods, including Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA), Filter Bank CCA (FBCCA), and transfer learning models such as EEGNet, DeepConvNet, and ShallowConvNet. To address the limitations of existing methods, we propose a novel hybrid approach combining CCA, Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). This method aims to enhance feature extraction and classification accuracy. The models were evaluated on the benchmark SSVEP dataset from Tsinghua University, with preprocessing steps involving independent component analysis (ICA) and band-pass filtering. FBCCA achieved the highest accuracy of 97.5%, followed by CCA (93%) and DeepConvNet (86.95%). Our proposed method attained an accuracy of 77.52%, demonstrating its potential for robust SSVEP classification. These results underline the value of advanced algorithms and preprocessing strategies in improving SSVEP-based BCI performance, paving the way for more effective assistive technologies.

Abstract - Tuberculosis continues to be a major global health concern, particularly in remote regions with limited access to healthcare. Early and precise diagnosis is essential to prevent its spread. This project utilizes high-performance computing (HPC) to tackle two major challenges: handling inconsistent medical data and enhancing TB detection. Due to the disproportion between healthy and TB-positive samples, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are employed to create synthetic images, expanding the dataset and improving its diversity. This enriched dataset is then used to train Convolutional Neural Networks, which are highly effective in medical image processing. By leveraging HPC, we accelerate the CNN training process on large-scale, augmented datasets, significantly cutting down computation time while preserving accuracy. This approach enhances TB detection by integrating GAN-based data augmentation with CNN models, ensuring a quicker and more reliable diagnosis.

Authors - Manisha Mane, Gargee Nitin Rangnekar, Gayatri Kishore Kshirsagar, Adarsh Suresh Nikam
Abstract - Monitoring and prediction of space weather have gained tremendous significance with the increasing reliance of the telecommunication and aviation sectors on satellite communication and navigation systems. The two sectors are very vulnerable to space weather occurrences because they can always interfere with the functioning of satellites, high-frequency radio communication, and GPS accuracy. To mitigate these exposures, we recommend that telecommunication and aviation companies utilize a machine learning Space Weather Dashboard to facilitate real-time data visualization and predictive analytics assistance. The proposed architecture employs Azure Workspace for data storage and management, Unreal Engine 5 for the production of high-fidelity graphics, and machine learning models developed in Python. Our approach is based on the utilization of Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTMs) for historical space data, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). Various types of weather data points like solar X-ray flux, solar wind speed, coronal mass ejections, interplanetary magnetic field measurements, solar energetic particles, ionospheric data, and auroral data are utilized to enhance prediction precision. The dashboard allows for actionable insights to be built for industry professionals and real-time monitoring of critical space weather parameters. Additionally, in consideration of how it can improve their contribution to operation safety, the research here addresses the forecasting power of some of the machine learning architectures used for space weather. Our comparative research affirms that improved forecasting results in effective warning and risk assessment. This is a wonderful benchmark for the aviation and telecommunications industries, improving situation awareness and round-the-clock operating continuity.

Abstract - The work deals with conceptual representation of sensitive issues in society as images in media using generative AI. Conceptual representation of sensitive information creates an overall societal impact. Conceptual processing involves understanding the represented information and the way how people respond and interact to the displayed information. Some of the issues like menstrual cycle representation, sex education, domestic violence, sex abuse and mental health awareness are difficult to represent conceptually and respectfully in the media. The goal of this paper is to use generative AI and represent these issues clearly to the society using media. Our work aims at understanding the challenges in representation of these images conceptually as well as providing an overview of the generative AI tools that can be used for implementing the solutions. A case study of a generative AI tool is used to understand the underlying problem of conceptual and respectful image generation for representing it in media. There are many generative AI tools for image generation, and we have chosen the Google Gemini AI as it gives more creative images compared to other tools [13]. In this paper, some of the sensitive issues are taken into consideration for representation in media in a conceptual and respectful manner.

An Individual Perception and Consumer Behaviour on Mutual Funds
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Reena (Mahapatra) Lenka, Jaya Chitranshi, Vanishree Pabalkar
Abstract - A person's ‘perception’ and ‘consumer behaviour’ regarding mutual funds both are influenced by a variety of factors, including socioeconomic characteristics of a given society, financial awareness, risk tolerance, and prior investing experiences. As a professionally managed investment choice and a convenient investing tool, mutual funds are particularly well-liked among middle-class and urban individuals. In contrast to traditional savings instruments, investors typically connect mutual funds with advantages such as access to liquidity, diversification opportunities, and the potential for higher returns. Additionally, perceived dangers, market volatility, and a lack of thorough understanding of financial instruments all have a significant impact on consumer behaviour. A mutual fund is a professional system that collects funds from different investors for investment and protection. Since shared reserves have no legal meaning, the term applies as ambiguously as possible to aggregate speculation that is controlled, accessible, and open to investors. Mutual funds enjoy strengths and weaknesses instead of putting resources directly into personal protection. Today, they represent a significant portion of household budgets. Therefore, the current review focuses on general asset-related buyer behavior and preeminent mutual fund companies. Information was gathered from important resource sources. Important information was collected through systematic research. An opportunity-sampling method was used to collect responses, and the process was targeted toward major Indian cities. This review provides information on donor mindfulness of communal property, donor knowledge, donor propensity, and communal property sufficiency. Ideas were also developed to enhance mindfulness of joint assets and measures to select appropriate common assets to increase profit.

Authors - Ajidhashini Thulasidass, M. Suresh
Abstract - Climate change is making agriculture more challenging in many parts of the country. This is notably true in developing nations where small farmers depend on systems that obtain water from rain to keep their land open. Numerous studies were conducted from 2015 to 2025 to discover how climate change is transforming farming systems in rural regions, how people are responding, and what policies are in place to make these systems safer and more resilient. It looks at significant challenges, including rising temperatures, unclear rain, soil depletion, and more pests that consume food. There is less food, which contributes to reduced food production and declining market stability. One method to make things better is to employ local expertise. Another is to employ agroforestry. Most individuals have problems agreeing because they don't have enough money, technology, or aid from the government. There are tips for extra reading at the end of the essay. To enhance farming, we may employ both new and ancient equipment and processes, as well as long-term research and approaches that engage both men and women.

Ensuring Privacy and Data Integrity in Payroll Systems Using Blockchain and IPFS
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Reena (Mahapatra) Lenka, Ronak Gupta, Vanishree Pabalkar, JayaChitranshi
Abstract - Organizations in the contemporary global economy encounter substantial challenges in managing payroll operations, particularly concerning data security, transparency, and compliance with diverse regulatory standards. Traditional payroll systems rely on centralized infrastructures and are vulnerable to fraud, inefficiencies, and elevated operational costs. These centralized systems pose significant risks, including unauthorized data access and single points of failure, leading to potential data breaches and financial losses. Organizations handling payroll operations in today's international market confront several obstacles, such as protecting data, upholding openness, and adhering to various legal standards. Because they frequently rely on centralized infrastructures, traditional payroll systems are vulnerable to fraud, inefficiency, and excessive operating expenses. In order to solve these problems, this article investigates the integration of blockchain technology into payroll management. We suggest a multi-layered architecture that consists of (1) an off-chain Human Resources (HR) system for payroll and employee management, (2) a distributed storage layer that uses technologies such as the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) for safe data storage, and (3) an on-chain blockchain layer that uses smart contracts to guarantee immutable transaction records and automate payroll processing. This decentralized approach enhances transparency, bolsters security through encryption and consensus mechanisms, and streamlines payroll operations by reducing manual dependencies. Furthermore, the system facilitates real-time cross-border payments and integrates with Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms, offering employees innovative financial services. By leveraging blockchain for payroll, organizations can enhance trust, reduce operational costs, and eliminate redundancies, making it a promising use case for HR departments worldwide. This framework demonstrates how blockchain technology can revolutionize payroll management, increasing organizations' efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and trust.

The Role of AI Coaching and Chatbots in Enhancing Employee Engagement
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Harie Sanker V, Gayathri E , Akshay R, Vandana Madhavan
Abstract - The human resource management practices have developed alongside technological advancements. AI-based coaching and engagement chatbots are new tools with a great potential to improve employee engagement. Conventional coaching processes have certainly proven their effectiveness but could never attain the scalability or cost-efficiency needed for widespread implementation. Machine learning- and natural language processing-adapted AI solutions can assist by providing real-time feedback, setting goals, and automating HR services based on specific individual need assessments. This research is aimed at understanding the influence of the AI coaching and chatbots on motivation, active engagement, and general employee satisfaction within technological organizations. This study employed primary data collected from questionnaires, finding that AI coaching promotes motivation, satisfaction, and expansion of remote working opportunities. However, lack of trust in AI and perceived ethical absence of transparency on the part of recommendations made by the AI can be seen as significant drawbacks. To overcome these challenges, a hybrid form of human-AI coaching is suggested where AI maximum benefits are retained without missing out on the human touch and consideration that defines coaching. This may facilitate the understanding of the substantial influence that AI has on employee engagement and ultimately on the future of human resource management. The study also suggests how organizations can optimally leverage AI coaching and engagement chatbots while minimizing associated risks.

Adaptive Key Authentication for Secure IoT: Addressing Security Threats and Optimizing
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Palak Patel, Chintan Shah, Premal Patel
Abstract - The use of Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare systems the world has also measured substantial improvement in patient care by offering real time monitoring and diagnosis. But growing connectivity means that sensitive medical data is also vulnerable to numerous security threats like man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, key theft, and device cloning, among many others. These traditional methods for authentication, based on either passwords or static keys, are especially susceptible to such cyber-attacks; thus, they are ineffective in protecting healthcare IoT environments characterized by dynamic threat landscapes. This research article presents a new dynamic key-based authentication scheme for healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) networks. In the suggested framework, mutual authentication between each of the healthcare server and the physical IoT client device is used to protect the sensitive data of the patients in transit, along with providing real-time secure transmission. By focusing on how cryptographic keys develop, the framework addresses current security threats, including key theft and MITM attacks. Not only does this method keep computational and communication costs low; it is also lightweight enough for resource-constrained medical IoT devices using a lightweight authentication protocol. This system is efficient with respect to data size between registration and authentication phases while performing better than all other systems. It also minimizes latency and bandwidth usage by improving the caching layer. The scheme is also computationally cheap, making it feasible in resource-poor healthcare settings. The security analysis tools confirm that the suggested architecture is resistant to ordinary attacks such as MITM and replay attacks while incurring low overhead.

From Scroll to Screen: Emotional and Physiological Engagement in Text, Comics, and Virtual Reality
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Vitika Soni, Sakshi Chauhan, Harsho Mohan Chattoraj, Varun Dutt
Abstract - There have been few direct comparisons in the literature between the emotional and autonomic impact of virtual reality (VR) and traditional and visual-narrative media, although VR has the potential to create vivid engagement. This study bridges this gap by using the culturally relevant narrative of King Harishchandra from the Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) corpus to examine the impact of various storytelling media—text reading, comics, and virtual reality (VR)—on emotional and physiological engagement. We measured physiological arousal through Heart Rate Variability (HRV) indices, including RMSSD (parasympathetic modulation) and LF/HF ratio (sympathovagal balance), and emotional reactions through the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) in 30 participants (N = 10 per group). Comics performed better than text and virtual reality in terms of ratings of positive affect. While the VR and text groups reported significantly higher RMSSD values, reflecting more parasympathetic activity, comics registered the lowest LF/HF ratios, reflecting smoother cognitive-emotional processing and greater autonomic balance. The findings indicate that comics, despite being frequently neglected, can stimulate more stable emotional engagement than virtual reality immersion, which has implications for future application in therapeutic design, education, and culturally-based digital media. By emphasizing the importance of narrative coherence and cognitive manageability in shaping user experience, this research contributes to digital storytelling, affective computing, and media psychology.

Generating realistic synthetic data using “CoreGAN” and balanced by “SMOTHE” for better distribution
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Zaibunnisa L.H. Malik, Amena Niyaz Ahmed Malik, Pooja Raundale
Abstract - Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) refers to a group of developmental disorders that affect the nervous system, leading to challenges in social interaction, communication, and behavior. The severity of ASD symptoms can vary widely, ranging from mild to severe. Diagnosing and predicting ASD with high accuracy requires the use of advanced machine learning models. However, one of the major challenges in building such models is the availability of sufficient data. Open-source datasets often have a limited number of instances, which may not be enough to train robust models that can generalize well to new, unseen data. To overcome this limitation, it is essential to augment the dataset with additional, synthetically generated instances. In this context, techniques like corGAN (Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks) are employed. This comprehensive dataset is then used to train a machine learning model, which can more effectively predict ASD. The synthetic data ensures that the model has access to a richer, more varied set of information, ultimately leading to better performance and more accurate predictions for diagnosing and understanding ASD. We will also apply SMOTHE and Adaptive_Synthetic on GAN data, and prove that SMOTHE on GAN data gave a better distribution than Adaptive_Synthetic on GAN data.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Devashree Kute, Anjali Naik
Abstract - This study introduces a resource-efficient method for generating artwork in the traditional Madhubani style using Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL). Using the low rank adaptation (LoRA) technique, the model is fine-tuned with culturally relevant prompts and stylistic guidance to emulate the distinct characteristics of this Indian folk art form. To improve inclusivity and accessibility, prompt multilingual support is incorporated, covering Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, and English, through an automated translation mechanism, which retains the keyword to ensure consistency between languages. The training process is optimized for standard consumer-grade GPUs utilizing FP16 precision, CPU memory offloading, and a fixed Variational Autoencoder (VAE), enabling stable 1024×1024 image generation. For evaluation, a Contrastive Language Image Pretraining (CLIP) based scoring method is employed to assess the semantic alignment between prompts and generated images. The findings indicate that the style remains remarkably consistent across languages, demonstrating that even minimal training can enable AI to effectively capture and preserve traditional art forms within digital media.

Seeing Through the Green Veil: How Greenwashing Perceptions Shape Sustainable Consumer Choices in India
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Athira T, Abhishek H, Deepak Gupta, Shobhana Palat Madhavan
Abstract - With growing environmental awareness, consumers are drawn to sustainable offerings. Greenwashing — false environmental claims—has made consumers skeptical and impacted purchasing behaviour. Understanding greenwashing perception is vital to studying sustainable consumer behaviour, especially in India where research is limited. This paper explores greenwashing and sustainable consumer choices through a quantitative research design, using data from 223 Indian consumers analyzed via SEM and Mediated SEM in Stata. Employing the Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) Theory and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), the study examines the role played by environmental knowledge, green skepticism, social influence, and perceived moral obligation in sustainable consumption and green purchase intention, with greenwashing perception acting as a mediator. The findings suggest that perceived moral obligations are the strongest driver for greenwashing perceptions, as well as for green purchase intentions and sustainable consumption behaviour. Environmental knowledge enhances green-washing perception and sustainable behaviour. Green skepticism affects sustainable choices indirectly via greenwashing perception. Social influence affects greenwashing perception in a negative manner but sustainable consumption and purchase intention in a positive manner. These insights can help shape strategies that build consumer trust and promote genuine sustainable practices.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Sivakami B U, M. Suresh
Abstract - As the conversation shifts toward Industry 5.0 (I5.0), how prepared are manufacturing Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to adopt the foundational technologies of Industry 4.0 (I4.0)? Despite MSMEs' economic importance, they persistently face challenges in adopting essential technologies and undergoing digital transformation due to financial, infrastructural, and work-force-related barriers. The extant literature provides limited understanding of their readiness to implement individual I4.0 technologies. To address this gap, this study aims to develop a Fuzzy Logic-based readiness assessment framework to evaluate adoption potential and identify weaker attributes. Using an ontological approach, the framework identifies key enablers, criteria, and attributes. Findings reveal an “average ready” status, with critical gaps in IoT, Robotics, Automation, and Digital Twin technologies. The framework provides MSMEs with a roadmap to assess their readiness and strategically plan their I4.0 transition.

Traditional fire detection and suppression systems frequently encounter limitations in such environments, such as delayed response times and restricted access to fire sources. The study describes the design and development of an automatic fire-fighting robot specifically for warehouses and storage facilities. The proposed robotic system combines advanced sensors for smoke, heat, and flame detection with real-time navigation capabilities to autonomously locate fire sources. Some of them uses thermal imaging cameras, infrared sensors, and LiDAR technology to precisely map the environment, detect obstacles, and navigate narrow aisles. The robot has a multi-directional water or foam nozzle for efficient fire suppression, as well as a decision-making algorithm that prioritizes critical fire zones, allowing for a quick and effective response. Furthermore, the system supports remote monitoring and control via a user-friendly interface, allowing for human intervention as needed. Heat-resistant materials and a long-lasting power supply improve the robot's durability, allowing it to operate continuously in extreme conditions. Experimental results show that the robot is effective at detecting fires early, responding quickly, and minimizing damage. The study seeks to provide a dependable, cost-effective solution for improving fire safety in warehouses and storage facilities, thereby reducing risk to both property and human life.

Authors - V. K. Abhang, Y. A. Shinde, S. N. Shingote, Adik Somal, Aglawe Nikhil, Akolkar Vivek, Ghondage Pratik
Abstract - This project explores how machine learning can help optimize hybrid renewable energy systems, with a special focus on managing net metering costs. By analyzing real-time data from renewable sources and consumer energy usage, the goal is to create a smart, efficient framework that improves energy reliability while keeping costs low. The idea is to strike a balance ensuring that energy production and consumption align seamlessly with changing demand and environmental conditions. To make this happen, we’re using the Open Energy Modelling Framework (OEMOF), which helps optimize how energy is distributed, stored, and interacted with the grid. With OEMOF, we can simulate energy flows, make better decisions about energy trading and self-consumption, and develop cost-effective net metering strategies. On top of that, advanced predictive models for weather and energy demand forecasting allow for proactive system adjustments, making sure the setup remains efficient and reliable.Beyond the technical side, this approach directly supports the global shift toward sustainable energy. By making hybrid renewable energy systems more cost-effective and scalable, it not only helps individuals and businesses save money but also contributes to reducing carbon footprints moving us one step closer to a greener future.

Enhanced Feature Extraction for Phishing URL Detection: A Comprehensive Analysis of Structural, Host-Based, Content and N-Gram Attributes
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Lokesh Khedekar, Suvarna Pawar
Abstract - In order to increase the accuracy of threat detection for malicious URLs, this paper proposes an improved feature extraction methodology. High false positive rates are a common consequence of traditional detection systems' restricted feature sets. The suggested method extracts a wide variety of lexical, host-based, content-based, and character-level n-gram features in order to solve this. While host-based qualities offer contextual information like domain age and DNS validity, lexical features record structural irregularities. While n-gram features identify obfuscation through frequent character sequences, content-based features—such as login indicators, file extensions, and JavaScript references—reflect behavioral patterns. According to correlation analysis, the majority of traits are still weakly associated, providing a variety of complementary signals, even while some are strongly related. By properly recognizing benign URLs with 100% confidence, the suggested model showed dependable real-time prediction and obtained a high accuracy of 98.50% in detecting dangerous URLs.

Exploring biases and interpretability of Deep learning models
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Shreya Pulluri, Megha Mohan, Madduri Aditya Vardhan Reddy, Chitresh Simhadri, Geetha M
Abstract - Bias in race and gender classification models creates strong ethical dilemmas, where disparities typically exist among groups of different demographics. In this research, a Bias-Aware Grad-CAM method is proposed that embeds interpretability-driven bias reduction within training. A ResNet model was trained for gender and race classification using the UTKFace dataset, which shows preliminary errors in minority group predictions. The Bias-Aware GradCAM framework proposed produces heatmaps to detect model attention areas, calculating Intersection over Union (IoU) between the heatmaps and pre-defined face bounding boxes. A reweighting process in the loss function, based on IoU scores, is introduced to retrain the model. Results show enhanced classification performance by aligning model attention with appropriate facial areas better. This strategy emphasizes the promise of explainability-guided methods to real-time bias reduction in face recognition models.

Homomorphic Encryption for Privacy Preservation
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Swatee Nikam, Nilima Kulkarni, Amrita Manjrekar
Abstract - With increasing data and its computation over clouds through various mediums it has become difficult to preserve privacy and then manipulate data according to the requirements. The third-party service providers have increased to do this manipulation over the bigdata which is collected over period of time. But again, the privacy is breached when the third party is involved with data of individuals and thus mechanism of homomorphic encryption (HE) is introduced which allows computation to be done on encrypted data. The initial work on homomorphic encryption were impractical but recent work is established with efficiency over practical application latest being embedded in Microsoft Edge browser. This paper gives a brief introduction to homomorphic encryption and its categorization over libraries created over recent years. Practical implementation HE is programmed over C++ language, with recent development the trial implementation is in progress over python language also. The libraries include such as Helib, SEAL, Blyss, concrete, etc. HE is developed as future enterprise for security and privacy guard up with application slated as geofencing with keeping secrecy of location or latigo polls for scheduling the meetings. The paper will discuss some other application with reference to new developed libraries under HE.

Interpretable Fake News Detection Using Neural Networks and LIME
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Mrunal Vibhute, Anjali Naik
Abstract - In an era where misinformation spreads rapidly, the need for reliable and interpretable fake news detection systems is critical. This study evaluates deep learning models—Fully Connected Neural Networks (FCNN), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and FastText—for fake news classification. To ensure interpretability, Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) are applied to FCNN, CNN, and GCN, generating human-understandable explanations for predictions. While LSTM and FastText are included for performance comparison, they are excluded from interpretability analysis due to technical constraints. The models are trained using different input representations: TF-IDF for FCNN and CNN, and graph structures for GCN. This paper analyzes trade-offs between accuracy and explainability, offering insights into the effectiveness of deep learning models for fake news detection and contributing to the development of more transparent AI solutions.

OcuXPlain: An Explainable AI Approach for Multi-Class Ocular Disease Detection
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Manan Parekh, Anmol Aafre, Parth Patel, Vaidehi Lad, Nirali Nanavati
Abstract - The human eye is highly sensitive and vulnerable to various diseases that need timely attention; otherwise, they may lead to vision impairment. According to WHO (World Health Organization), most of these cases could be avoided through regular examinations. Therefore, early detection of eye disease has become a necessity. In this manuscript we propose a novel approach for prediction and classification of ocular diseases like age-related macular degeneration, cataract, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, hypertensive retinopathy, myopia, and normal using fundus images collected from multiple public sources. Our study comprises the study of multiple contemporary deep learning models, including EfficientNet-B4, ConvNeXt, DenseNet-201, and ViT-16B. Our proposed solution involves the implementation of the ConvNeXt model on our dataset, which achieves an accuracy of 94.14%. Our purpose behind this study is not only to develop an effective classification model but also to ensure its visual - understanding how and why the model is making certain decisions. To achieve this, we implemented the Gradient-Weighted Class Activation Mapping (GradCAM) to provide an explainable AI (XAI) based solution to help researchers and practitioners in the field.

Relay-assisted framework for mmWave 5G NR BS sys-tem in V2X Communications
Tuesday August 25, 2026 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Vinodh Kumar Minchula, Supraja Reddy A, Sharathchand Kodam
Abstract - This paper investigates the characteristics of 5G NR-V2X channels and explores the benefits of relay-assisted communication for ensuring reliable and robust connectivity in dynamic vehicular environments. A detailed analysis of mmWave Base Station (BS) deployments utilizing MIMO antenna arrays of varying dimensions is conducted for the 5G NR n258 frequency band at 26 GHz. To evaluate system performance, a simulation framework is developed based on a Hyderabad Open Road Roundabout (ORR) scenario, aligned with 3GPP specifications, capturing vehicle mobility patterns and beam steering mechanisms to identify the optimal beam. To address the limitations of the NLoS, relay nodes are introduced to assist NLoS users, leading to measurable improvements in link quality and throughput. Experimental findings show that relay-assisted links yield up to a 4.1% increase in bit rate over direct NLoS connections. These results confirm the efficacy of relay-based architectures in enhancing signal robustness and extending mmWave communication range in V2X environments. The proposed framework provides a scalable and resilient solution for enabling high-performance vehicular networks in urban deployments. These findings clearly demonstrate that relay-assisted communication significantly enhances signal robustness and extends the effective range of mmWave links, thereby facilitating improved reliability and efficiency in next-generation vehicular communication networks.

Authors - Yuvraj Nikam, Viddulata Patil, Pratik Kamble, Bhagyashree Shendkar, Viresh Vanarote, Pankaj Chandre
Abstract - The increasing risk of data breaches necessitates advanced security solutions, with AI-driven Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) systems emerging as a key defense mechanism. This framework integrates deep learning techniques, including CNNs, LSTMs, autoencoders, and GANs, for anomaly detection and simulated attacks. Threat detection is enhanced through anomaly scoring, incident response, and policy enforcement. Additionally, security is fortified with federated learning, blockchain for audit and integrity, and homomorphic encryption for privacy preservation. This hybrid approach ensures scalable, interpretable, and resilient data protection against evolving cyber threats. Future research should focus on optimizing computational efficiency while maintaining high detection accuracy and privacy assurance

COLOUR BASED SORTING SYSTEM USING CONVEYER BELT
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Harish Harsurkar, Shridhar Deshpande, Rohit Kushwaha, Shailesh Naik, Suraj Chavan
Abstract - Sorting is the act of carefully organizing things. In the wholesale market and many businesses, object sorting by size, form, quality, etc. is favored by hand. Unfortunately, this approach is laborious, inefficient, and not always reliable. Current market solutions may sort a single object using either one or more parameters. An automated object sorting mechanism using an IR sensor is offered as a replacement for this conventional method of sorting. It detects and categorizes two distinct objects using two distinct methods for analyzing heights. The significance of process automation has grown in recent years due to the fact that it is directly related to the development of any industry. Industrial process robots equipped with advanced sensing technology are used for exact and accurate output. Image processing has established its supremacy and pervasiveness in many industrial processes in the contemporary era. A color-based item sorting system that makes use of machine vision and image processing procedures is presented in this research. Utilizing a real-time color image processing technique to continually assess and examine the color deformities utilizing camera-based machine vision, the proposed work aims to produce a small, user-friendly, and accurate items sorting machine. The item is then classified into predetermined quality categories using the pick and place roboarm after the assessment of quality. The system discards the examined item if it does not conform to quality standards. Many different domains will find use for the suggested approach in their ongoing quality review processes.

Computational analysis of GWO and PSO optimization used for controlling water level in pharmaceutical bulk drug Industries
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Hafiz Shaikh, Ajinkya Golande, Sandeep Shelar, Shivaji Bhosale
Abstract - Water level management at a specific moment is a major topic of contention in bulk drug production companies. Production initially declines until the water level reaches the target level. However, pharmaceutical companies could make more money if they could precisely regulate the water level at the beginning of production. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) are introduced in this work to perfectly synchronize the water level with optimal performance parameters. The method for controlling the water proportion (level) in the spanned tanks for the MIMO system can be achieved by identifying the mathematical model. Monitoring the system’s open-loop reaction is the first step in identifying the system. By examining the connected tank’s real parameters, this may be processed. A detailed explanation of state-space analysis of connected tanks and how it is converted into a transfer function is provided.The intrinsic parameters needed for the computation are examined in this work. The platform for viewing the responses is MATLAB. The PID controller’s observations show that a better controller is required to improve performance. This document presents performance analysis and its debate.

MOTORIZED SHAPING MACHINE
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Husain Shaikh, Dnyaneshwar Kamblajkar, Sayyad Ruhan Quadri, Shashikant Shirke, Ganesh Kadam
Abstract - A wide variety of reciprocating machines are available to most businesses, allowing them to complete machine operations on relatively minor jobs. For smaller jobs with less material, shapers, broaches, and planners are the tools of choice for machining. These machines are perfect for milling intricate patterns into tiny areas, whether they're flat, angled, grooving, or any combination of these. Only the forward stroke removes the materials from the work. Making the product takes longer due to the increased machining time. A compact twin shaper machine is created to address this issue by simultaneously shaping two work parts. This machine can remove material from two work pieces at once and has two directions of ram action. The result is a boost in output with a decrease in machining time

Virtual Machine Migration Optimization in Cloud Data Centers: A Comprehensive Review
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Vaibhav Sawalkar, Nitin More
Abstract - Virtualization of the cloud data center (CDC) is achieved by operating multiple virtual machines (VM) in parallel processing on a single cloud server, as cloud users increase rapidly. Using dynamic virtual machine migration can help meet the growing demand for resources like compute, storage, and connectivity. The majority of resource management strategies are employed for single or multiple virtual machine migrations in order to optimize the cloud data center's performance and efficiency. The workload that comes with a rapid rise in cloud users also causes a corresponding reduction in QoS (service quality). Only greater computing facilities, managing huge numbers of cloud users, and cutting down on time and energy spent in cloud data centers can be achieved with the help of the potent live VM migration technique. A modern cloud computing system's main component is live virtual machine migration. This document examines all the most recent live virtual machine migration approaches, including their benefits and drawbacks. There has been a brief mention of their future range study and deployment. Through simulation, the pre-copy and post-copy VM migration approaches have been compared with respect to CPU usage, memory usage, and network characteristics. This study examines the important components of virtual machine migration strategies and evaluates a variety of them while conducting a thorough examination of the current schemes. Key objectives guide the exploration of current systems. Some open research issues are also discussed in the domain of virtual machine migration.

Wavelet-Integrated Framework for Large-Scale Underwater Image Enhancement
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Yashas Vishwanathan, Viraat Sai Palamanda, Shreekara R Dandina, Rashmi Ugarakhod
Abstract - Seafloor photographs generally experience severe degradation due to optical properties of light, like absorption and scattering, leading to color anomalies, reduction of contrast, and loss of details. Such vision loss conditions create severe issues for marine science and computer vision-based ocean exploration missions. Thus, an underwater image restoration method is proposed using a wavelet-based U-Net architecture. By incorporating wavelet decomposition into a deep learning framework, the proposed model can extract multiscale spatial information efficiently, preserving the image clarity with structural and textural details. Wavelet-based model is trained on the Large-Scale Underwater Image (LSUI) and Enhancing Underwater Visual Perception (EUVP) datasets, both of which offer diverse underwater scenes captured under various lighting conditions and water types. The model’s performance is evaluated quantitatively in terms of qualitative analysis metrics. For the LSUI dataset, the proposed method achieved a peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of 23.47 dB and a structural similarity index (SSIM) of 0.9127. Evaluation on the EUVP dataset yielded a PSNR of 23.59 dB and an SSIM of 0.8572.

Anomaly Detection in Industrial Machines Using Echo State Networks
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Mann Patel, Mithil Mistry, Hasti Vakani, Sachin Patel, Tandel vaibhav, Rishi Patel, Amit Nayak, Rajesh Patel
Abstract - It’s paramount for the productivity of any company that industrial machinery is operating in an efficient manner and that the idle time is minimal. Anomaly detection plays a pivotal role in predictive maintenance – it focuses on abnormal behaviour patterns. The major challenge of RNNs is the computational complexity and the training of the models. On the other hand, Echo State Networks (ESNs), which belong to the class of Reservoir Computing, are generally more effective and efficient in modelling temporal relations. This paper investigates ESNs for the detection of industrial machinery anomalies using time-series sensor data. We describe the application of an ESN model on a standard industrial data set. Our results further indicate that ESN models are able to provide good results with less computation time and hence they can be used in real world industrial scenarios.

Enhanced Black Winged Kite Algorithm: A Hybrid Approach Using Latin Hypercube Sampling and Levy Flights
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Megha Gaur, Purvi Rathore, Jigyaasa Meena, Surendra Nagar, Vijay Kumar Bohat
Abstract - Metaheuristic algorithms are widely used for solving complex optimization problems due to their flexibility and efficiency. Among them, the Black Winged Kite Algorithm (BKA) has shown promising results but suffers from instability, premature convergence, and uneven distribution of the initial population. To address these limitations, this paper proposes an Enhanced Black Winged Kite Algorithm (EBKA), which incorporates Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) for better initial diversity and L´evy flights to achieve a balanced exploration–exploitation trade-off. Experimental evaluations on CEC2022 benchmark functions demonstrate that EBKA consistently achieves superior stability, faster convergence, and improved solution quality compared to the original BKA and other recent metaheuristics.

EXPLORING THE EFFICACY OF WAV2VEC AND LSTM MODELS IN SPEAKER DIARIZATION
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Devika Vijapur, Nidhi Desai, C M Tulasi, Satish Chikkamath, Suneeta V Budihal
Abstract - Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is identification and classification of emotions from various speech signals with high precision and reliability and interpreting emotions more meaningfully in real-world scenarios. Traditionally,SER has focused on utterance level approaches,treating emotions as attributes of an entire spoken segment. Emotions in speech can also be dynamic and regarded as distinct scheduled events with clear time demarcations rather than generalized attributes. To deal with this Speech Emotion Diarization (SED) is introduced. Much like Speaker Diarization which pursues answer for the question,”Who speaks when?”, SED tackles ”Which emotion appears when?”. SED focuses mainly on diarizing the input speech utterance into different emotions based on the occurrence of emotion. It also specially focuses on the individual frame analysis. It tells which emotion has occurred and when it has occurred. Emotion recognition and precise time segmentation is the key highlight of speech emotion diarization. SED can revolutionize and improve various aspects of our daily lives and also offers immense potential in fields such as enhanced mental health and well-being, call centers and customer support, education and e-learning, entertainment and media, safety and security, social robots, cross-cultural emotional understanding, and many more.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Nischaykumar Hegde, Praahas Amin
Abstract - In unattended sensor networks, a major challenge in data survivability. The data collected by sensors can be lost due to various reasons like sensor node failures, attacks etc. In our earlier work, a data survivability solution based on mobile sink with increased focus on security and data compression was proposed. But the network structure lacked efficiency to enhance data survivability in terms of data backup at optimal locations and collection of them before any risks. This work addresses this problem and proposes a improvised mobile sink-based data survivability scheme. The data collection points are optimized with aim of enhancing data survivability using graph theory concepts. Through simulation analysis the proposed solution is found to increase data survival probability by atleast 3% compared to existing works. The proposed solution was also found to be energy efficient and increased the life time of sensor network by atleast 11% compared to existing works.

Performance Evaluation of QoS Parameters of UAV for Lunar Surface Exploration
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Sachin Kumar Gupta, Vijay Kumar Sharma, Kajal, Ashish Suri
Abstract - Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have significant potential for exploration of space, particularly the Moon, where rovers are often unable to mobilize adequately. This paper explores the operational viability of UAVs in the lunar environment by evaluating several flight parameters, such as thrust performance, stability factors, and flight trajectories. Unlike Earth, the Moon lacks an atmosphere, meaning UAVs cannot rely on aerodynamic lift for flight and must be propelled instead. In this paper, we model a UAV's desired trajectory and demonstrate these operational characteristics using MATLAB simulation for a UAV. The goal is for UAVs to exert thrust control, navigate a UAV to the desired trajectory, and deploy energy-efficient systems to stabilize flight. Understanding the UAVs for lunar exploration in upcoming space explorations will be beneficial. It expands the way to exploration in an autonomous environment and scientific contextual data collection on the lunar surface in the future.

Authors - Puneet Mugabasav, Shreyas M. Salotagi, Gireesha H M, P.C Nissimagoudar, Nalini C. Iyer
Abstract - This paper introduces a smart and reliable Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) designed to recognize traffic signs in real-time. Trained on the well-known GTSRB dataset, the model works with high-resolution images from cameras mounted on vehicles. It helps cars ”see” signs like “Stop,” “Yield,” and speed limits—even when lighting is poor or signs are partially blocked. By using deep learning and advanced image analysis, the system alerts drivers to signs they might overlook, helping prevent accidents caused by missed warnings or speeding. It’s fast, accurate, and fits perfectly into modern driver-assistance systems and self-driving technology. The model shines in tricky spots like school zones, busy intersections, and construction areas where quick decisions matter most. Plus, it’s designed to be flexible and easy to integrate into different vehicle systems. As it learns from more region-specific data, it has great potential to make driving not just smarter, but much safer—wherever the road takes you.

DDOS Attack Detection in Cloud Computing Using Machine Learning
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Gaurav Kumar, Lalit Kumar, Deependra Rastogi, Mahesh Swami, Atiku Hasan
Abstract - Cloud computing is the need of the day for computing but vulnerable to cyber-attacks, particularly those presented by Distributed Denial of Service or DDoS attacks, which essentially crash services through heavy-handed levels of attack traffic. Traditional methods of detection are not dynamic enough for cloud environments, necessitating the evolution towards complex solutions such as machine learning (ML) for attack identification. This paper elaborates on three algorithms: Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, and Support Vector Machine SVM in identifying DDoS attacks using the CICDDoS2019 dataset. The results of the study were based on accuracy, precision, recall, and the computational cost for each model considered. It seems that the Decision Tree model is accurate up to 100% while accuracy in Naïve Bayes and SVM stands at 99.93%. However, every algorithm has an accompanying limitation such as the overfitting of Decision Trees and high computational requirements of SVM. In this paper, the adoption of hybrid machine learning models and feature engineering can potentially improve DDoS detection for reliability and robustness of cloud system.

Experimental Evaluation of Information Leakage via Electromagnetic Emanation Using Channel Capacity
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Yusuke Murayama, Hiromi Shima, Hidema Tanaka
Abstract - Against information leakage via electromagnetic emanation, electromagnetic absorption tape and electromagnetic shielding tape are expected as countermeasures. In this paper, we adopt these methods for HUBs and LAN connectors to conduct experiments and evaluate their effectiveness in reducing the amount of information leakage. We estimate the risk using channel capacity from the perspective of electromagnetic security. As a result, we can observe decrease in power and frequency shift. However, we conclude that although the frequency shift is effective as an EMC countermeasure, it does not effectively reduce the risk of information leakage. We show that evaluation using channel capacity is suitable for information security, such as estimating the effectiveness of a combination of multiple countermeasures and specifying the numerical goals to be achieved.

Hyper-Localized Tax Optimization Using AI/ML: A Novel Approach
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Krish Modi, Ansh Soni, Aneri Shah, Nishant Doshi
Abstract - Tax optimization continues to be a complicated issue as financial habits are individual responses to regional tax policy changes. This research presented an innovative tax optimization framework powered by AI, including multiple-output neural networks, clustering algorithms and NLP, to provide personalized, hyper-localized tax savings strategies. The proposed framework accomplishes this by predicting salient financial metrics, such as tax non-liability, adjusted gross income, and even refunds. The clustering algorithms predict user personas and group taxpayers in the same ZIP code in order to develop clustering profiles within a region, discovering local patterns in different tax deductible expenses. The NLP (Natural language processing) engine self-identifies unapplied tax credits, thus possibly increasing almost 35% of potential refunds. Because of real-time adaptivity, the framework can respond as financial inputs change, particularly with last-minute or end-of-year contributions and deductions, which maximizes most deduction valuations and enhancements to accuracy will naturally reduce audit risk. The experimental results suggest prediction accuracy of over 93%, in addition to greater refund optimizations, greater audit reductions, and more strategic financial layouts. The methodology proposed in the patent provides patent level innovations in clustering based tax strategy, dynamic optimization, and autonomous discovery of credits. As such, the foundation for next-generation AI tax planning systems has been established for individual and small business use.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Niveditha N Reddy, Pooja Agarwal
Abstract - In critical field medical diagnostics, early and accurate detection of skin cancer remains paramount for effective treatment, yet significant challenges persist to the subtle visual differences between benign and malignant lesions and limited access to specialist care. Addressing these challenges, skin cancer prediction study presents an innovative deep learning framework leveraging optimized YOLO architectures to revolutionize skin cancer classification. Utilizing a robust dataset of 33,126 dermoscopic images - with all malignant cases confirmed by histopathology and benign cases validated through expert consensus or longitudinal follow-up and developed and compared lightweight versions of YOLOv5 YOLOv8, Hybrid YOLO specifically engineered for clinical deployment. The methodology incorporated advanced optimizations including model pruning and TensorRT quantization to ensure efficient performance on edge devices like the NVIDIA Jetson Nano. This triad of models creates a comprehensive diagnostic ecosystem: YOLOv5’s precision reduces unnecessary biopsies, YOLOv8’s speed enables accessible population screening, and Hybrid YOLO’s enhanced sensitivity provides crucial safety-net detection for high-risk patients. Implemented together, they address the full spectrum of clinical needs - from rural health posts lacking specialists to advanced dermatology centers. The Hybrid YOLO’s particular strength in detecting subtle malignancies (validated on histopathology-confirmed cases) could transform monitoring of high-risk patients and lesions with ambiguous visual features. By combining these architectures with rigorous clinical 2 validation, bridge a critical gap between AI innovation and real-world patient care. The Hybrid YOLO’s 98.57% accuracy and superior recall demonstrate that thoughtfully combined approaches can outperform standalone models where it matters most - catching more cancers earlier while maintaining diagnostic reliability.

AI Hallucination Prediction: A Novel Approach for Preventing False AI Outputs
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Arpita Kundu, Aishwarya Malhotra, Vimmi Malhotra
Abstract - Generative AIs still keep picking up speed in nearly every industry, but the trustworthiness of what they spit out is starting to worry people. The biggest headache by far is hallucination - when the model strings together something that sounds good but isn’t really true. In fields like health care, teaching, or money management, that slip-up can cause real harm, so no one wants to brush it off. Plenty of fixes have been tried already, yet most are just clean-up crews that look for false claims after the damage is done. This paper instead rolls out a forward-looking shield that tries to spot trouble before it even leaves the keyboard. Our approach mixes guessing-game math, relevance scoring, and feedback loops so the model itself learns what to avoid. Because of that, flaky sentences get tossed while still letting fluent, on-topic prose pass through. Tests show hallucination drops sharply without losing the smooth feel readers expect. Taken together, the work moves the field closer to generative models that people can safely trust.

EVE-SIM: Evaluation of Vision-Based Event Simulators for Autonomous Driving Applications
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Mani.C, Vinayak Nayak, Ujwala Patil
Abstract - In this paper, we present a comparative study of Event processing that has attained much attention in recent years in the field of autonomous driving in adverse conditions. Frame-based camera simulators for different events capture images at prescribed times, and it is often plagued by problems during high-speed events, as motion blur can occur and fail to perform in dynamic environments. Event cameras, on the other hand, are an alternative that can capture asynchronous, sparse, and high-frequency pixel-level events at very low latency, particularly well suited for applications like autonomous driving. However, high-resolution event capture requires high-speed circuitry and accurate timing mechanisms, and makes it technically challenging and expensive to manufacture the event cameras. To overcome these challenges, several open-source simulators have been proposed to test and validate event generations. In this work, we discuss the comparison of different open-source event simulators such as ESIM, V2E, V2CE, and Recurrent Vision Transformer (RVT). We consider diverse driving conditions, a broad spectrum of sensor noise, and realistic environments for this analysis. Relevant quantitative metrics such as accuracy, temporal resolution, latency, and noise handling are also included in the justification of the selection of event simulation in real-time applications. We observe that the RVT-based event simulator is promising for autonomous driving applications.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - K. Bhaskar Naik, Nulakachandanam Praneeth Babu, M. Vyshnavi
Abstract - Vehicle speed estimation is vital for intelligent transportation systems, and the use of digital image processing techniques like YOLOv8 and OpenCV has garnered significant attention. This paper introduces a novel approach that combines OpenCV and YOLOv8 to estimate car speeds within a designated Region of Interest (ROI). A dataset comprising a video from a traffic surveillance camera is collected and utilized to train and evaluate the car speed estimation system. OpenCV is employed to process the video data, while the YOLOv8 model is employed in the detection of objects to identify cars within the ROI. The 'cv2.EVENT_MOUSEMOVE' constant from the OpenCV library is employed to obtain the ROI. By analyzing the car's motion within the ROI, the vehicle's speed is accurately estimated. The proposed approach offers advantages over traditional methods. It provides a cost-effective solution with improved coverage compared to radar and laser-based systems. Accurate car speed estimation within the specified ROI is crucial for effective traffic management and the development of intelligent transportation systems. Evaluation results show that the suggested strategy is effective. The system successfully estimates car speeds within the defined ROI, contributing to accurate speed limit detection and enhancing traffic management efficiency.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Nisha Shah, Anjali Jivani
Abstract - News media bias significantly influences public perception and trust in journalism. As news media outlets play a critical role in shaping public opinion, detecting bias in reporting is essential to ensure balanced and fair communication. This study presents an unsupervised machine learning framework for identifying media bias, leveraging a combination of natural language processing (NLP) techniques with statistical analysis. Large-scale news corpora are evaluated across multiple parameters, including content, tone, emotion, readability, and balance to uncover patterns of bias. The choice of an unsupervised machine learning approach serves the objective to address the challenge of the unavailability of a gold standard labelled dataset. The proposed system demonstrated its effectiveness by analyzing the four most prominent Indian media outlets: The Times of India, Hindustan Times, Deccan Herald, and India Today. Experimental results from these sources showcase the system’s effectiveness in detecting and differentiating bias levels across the selected parameters, offering valuable insights into the landscape of media reporting in India.

Employee Motivation for IS: A Study of a Microfinance Organization in Nicaragua
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Vishnu Vinekar
Abstract - This study focuses on employee motivation to use information systems to improve impacts of nonprofits in developing countries. The Nobel Prize winning Grameen Bank in Bangladesh pioneered microfinance to reduce poverty in developing countries. However, microfinance organizations in developing countries suffer from poor business processes6 resulting in very high interest rates on loans charged to the poor. In this study, we analyze the motivation of employees of a nonprofit microfinance organization toward information system to ameliorate these problems. To do this we build on Vroom’s (1964) theory of work motivation, which includes three constructs: valence, expectancy, and instrumentality. We hypothesize that employees of NGOs in developing countries will not only have high valence for individual-level outcomes; they will also have strong valence for both their organization and their community. However, we also hypothesize that in developing countries, employees have adequate instrumentality or expectancy regarding the use of information systems in achieving these outcomes. We test these hypotheses empirically and find support that these employees do have a strong valence for both organizational as well as community outcomes. However, despite the high valence, instrumentality and expectancy remain low. We use these to make suggestions to improve motivation for implementing information systems to improve microfinance objectives.

It combines Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Feedforward Neural Networks (FFNN) to boost malware detection capabilities. The proposed method seeks to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of malware detection by exploiting the advantage of both sequential and non-sequential feature extraction techniques. The distinct feature vectors extracted from these networks are integrated through a concatenation layer, creating a unified data representation. This combined feature vector is further refined by a dense layer that increases the model's ability to absorb information from sequential and non-sequential features. It employs CNNs as classifiers, utilizing Reinforcement Learning (RL) and SoftMax functions to identify malware patterns. The proposed LSFFbCNN is evaluated on a ‘Malware detection’ dataset that includes malware and benign samples, demonstrating superior accuracy and robustness in distinguishing malicious software. The proposed LSFFbCNN achieved 99.98% accuracy and 99.97% precision, including F1-score and recall. The results highlight the efficacy of this hybrid approach, presenting a promising solution for strengthening malware detection in cybersecurity applications.

Authors - Rahul H. Bhole, Sachin R. Sakhare, Parikshit N. Mahalle, Priyanka More
Abstract - Federated Learning (FL) is a decentralized machine learning approach that enables collaborative model training without sharing raw data, ensuring privacy preservation. Despite its benefits, FL is vulnerable to adversarial threats such as Byzantine attacks, where malicious clients send corrupted updates to disrupt the global model’s performance. This study introduces a simulation framework designed to evaluate the impact of such adversarial behaviors and assess the resilience of various aggregation techniques. The proposed methodology incorporates a mix of honest and malicious clients, simulating their interactions across multiple training rounds. The results highlight significant fluctuations in the global model's performance caused by malicious updates, exposing the limitations of standard aggregation methods like the simple mean. The visualized outputs emphasize the destabilizing effects of Byzantine attacks and underscore the necessity of implementing robust aggregation and anomaly detection strategies. This work provides a systematic foundation for understanding vulnerabilities in FL and guides the development of more secure, reliable aggregation mechanisms.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm IST
Authors - Amaan Shaikh, Harsh Chinchakar, Ayush Kulshreshtha, Priyanshi Jain, Vandana Jagtap
Abstract - This paper presents a novel conversational engine for non-player characters (NPCs) in role-playing games, designed to deliver adaptive, personality-driven dialogue without the need for training and maintaining custom models. The system integrates dynamic sentiment-based tone modulation with a dual-memory architecture that combines short-term conversational context and long-term narrative history. Advanced decay and cooldown mechanisms are implemented to gradually diminish the influence of older interactions and sentiments, thereby enabling smooth transitions in NPC behavior. Our approach dynamically recalibrates NPC responses based on real-time player inputs, world state, and historical interactions, resulting in immersive and context-aware dialogue that is highly humanlike. Coupled with the Generative AI models, our framework generates NPC responses that convincingly emulate actual personalities and emotions, while maintaining minimal reliance on the underlying large language model for fine-tuning. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the engine produces coherent, emotionally consistent interactions, significantly enhancing the realism of NPC communication in gaming environments. This work contributes a scalable and technically robust framework that bridges the gap between traditional scripted dialogues and modern adaptive storytelling.

Abstract - The exponential growth of the World Wide Web has increased the need for efficient Web-page prediction models to reduce access latency and enhance user experience. Traditional methods, such as k-order Markov models, struggle with balancing prediction accuracy and complexity. In this work, we propose an ensemble model that combines Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, and a First-Order Markov model to improve Web-page prediction accuracy. Logistic Regression identifies relationships in Web-log datasets, Naive Bayes applies probabilistic reasoning, and the Markov model captures transition probabilities between pages. By combining these models using a stacking classifier, we aim to leverage their strengths for more robust predictions. Our results demonstrate that the ensemble model outperforms individual models, achieving higher accuracy, precision, and recall. This hybrid approach can significantly improve Web navigation efficiency, making it a promising solution for real-time Web-page prediction.

Abstract - Digital statistics develop at an extraordinary pace, making the demand for cozy, scalable, green records more than ever before. Traditional encryption methods, including symmetric and asymmetric encryption, have long been extremely important for protected tag marks. However, these traditional methods face major challenges consisting of complex mathematical calculations, difficult intrinsic management, and obstacles to scalability. These issues can be enjoyed by improving aid, poor overall performance, and bad users. Hybrid encryption structures provide an effective solution with the help of a combination of stable security of heterogeneous encryption for critical changes and administration and the efficiency of symmetric encryption. This twin technology allows for faster processing of records, but the encryption key is protected and protected from unauthorized entries. By using the power of both encryption strategies, hybrid encryption deals with scalability and overall performance issues. This is often seen in traditional systems and is ideal for large packages in a wide range of different fields. In the long run, hybrid encryption is actually the main break in protection technology, providing a balanced solution that improves security, improves machine efficiency and ensures scalability. This approach is suitable for current desired developments for virtual environments, allowing businesses to protect sensitive statistics without compromising performance or enjoying users.

Abstract - In recent years, the frequency of floods has surged due to climate change and unchecked urbanization. In developing nations such as India, floods wreak havoc that can take decades to recover from. To effectively mitigate the impact of flood disasters, precise flood inundation warnings are essential. This system employs a Geographic Information System (GIS) model, constructed using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and building shape-files, to analyze land behavior during floods and identify inundation risks in various locations. This information is crucial for taking proactive measures to reduce flood-related destruction promptly. The Global Precipitation Measurement’s (GPM) half-hourly rain data is utilized to assess the current influence of rainfall on flood conditions across different regions, thereby enabling timely warnings to residents in nearby areas. Furthermore, this system incorporates a flood relief system, which is web-based and developed using PHP as the web application and a MySQL database. This platform prepares donors to assist flood victims with various types of donations. Immediately following the release of a flood warning through a GSM module that sends SMS alerts, donors are informed to be ready with their contributions. This timely communication equips authorities to provide refuge to flood victims. This system is specifically designed for Mumbai, India’s largest city, which is frequently affected by floods, resulting in significant property and life damage annually.

Authors - Safa Imtihaz Sayyad, Jyoti M Satihal, Ujwala Patil
Abstract - Object detection in dark conditions at night is challenging due to poor visibility, leading to reduced accuracy and performance. We propose ODDNet, a framework for object detection in the dark that combines enhanced RGB images with event-based data, leveraging their complementary strengths. Using Zero-DCE, RGB images are enhanced for low-light, while event data is processed through a Temporal Multi-scale Aggregation to extract its temporal features. Attention mechanisms and specialized loss functions improve low-light imaging, preserve spatial details, and enhance detection accuracy. Ablation studies highlight the contributions of Zero-DCE and attention-based fusion. The proposed ODDNet model achieves a mean average precision (mAP) of 45.8% during the day and 28.3% at night at an intersection over Union (IoU) threshold of 0.5. These results demonstrate ODDNet’s capability to effectively address low-light challenges, indicating its potential for autonomous systems and night-time surveillance.

Abstract - Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are dynamic, decentralized networks that require efficient routing mechanisms to ensure reliable communication. Traditional routing protocols struggle with issues such as high node mobility, energy constraints, and unpredictable topology changes. This research explores the integration of artificial intelligence, specifically neural networks, to enhance routing efficiency in MANETs. Our approach leverages deep learning models to predict optimal routes by analyzing network parameters such as node density, mobility patterns, and link stability. The proposed AI-driven routing mechanism dynamically adapts to network variations, improving packet delivery ratio, reducing latency, and optimizing energy consumption. Comparative evaluations against conventional routing protocols, such as AODV and DSR, demonstrate significant improvements in network performance. The results highlight the potential of neural networks in revolutionizing adaptive routing for MANETs, paving the way for more intelligent and resilient communication systems.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:30pm IST
Authors - Amrithesh TV, Sajin John Shaji, Sangeeth Gopinath
Abstract - Family businesses play significantly in the world economy; yet, the majority can somehow manage to survive through leadership change from impacts of family relationships. Unlike some business corporations with formalized transitions, family companies dominantly depend on family relationships and informal decision-making, hence bringing about business instability as well as conflicts. This research examines just how internal family systems indeed influence successor choice, and shape leadership transition on business resilience. Through in-depth qualitative research with strict thematic analysis of family firm owner interviews, the research discovers a number of important succession determinants, such as traditional heirarchy, mentering, and resistance to modernization of the modern kind. The research does uncover that in fact successor selection is usually highly influenced by family influence, in contrast to planned planning, and therefore jeopardizing some degree of business stability. This paper suggests the adoption of comprehensive succession planning and participative decision-making. Systematic leadership development programs, coupled with open communication, will ensure successful leadership succession and long-term business success.

Abstract - Sentiment analysis in multilingual social media data is a challenging and critical task due to the diversity of languages and sentiments expressed by users worldwide. In this study, we focus on conducting sentiment analysis on the Twitter US Airline Sentiment dataset, which includes tweets in English from users expressing their opinions about various US airlines. We address the research gap of multilingual sentiment analysis by leveraging advanced NLP techniques and machine learning algorithms. Count Vectorization and TF-IDF Vectorization is used during the study to extract features after cleaning up the data and processing the text. To categorize tweets as having positive or negative sentiment, we assess the effectiveness of three classifiers: Multinomial Naive Bayes, Bernoulli Naive Bayes, and Logistic Regression. We examine these classifiers' accuracy on a different collection of unlabeled tweets without ratings in more detail. The work provides valuable insights into the opinions posted by individuals on Twitter about US airlines and intends to develop multilingual sentiment analysis, especially for social media data. The findings serve as a basis for creating sentiment analysis algorithms that are more precise and reliable and that can be used to various language groups on social media platforms.

Abstract - The Cloud-Based Plant Health Monitoring System is designed to help farmers and agricultural experts precisely identify plant diseases using artificial intelligence and cloud technology. Traditional plant health assessments rely on manual inspection, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. This project automates the process by allowing users to upload images of plant leaves, analyzed by a machine learning model hosted on a cloud platform. The system identifies whether the plant is healthy or has a disease, providing instant results through a simple mobile or web application. To achieve this, the system uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained on a dataset of plant leaf images, covering both healthy and diseased conditions. The application is designed to be user-friendly, allowing even non experts to access plant health information easily. This approach reduces the need for excessive pesticide use, saves time, and supports sustainable farming practices by helping users respond to plant health issues promptly. Keywords-plant health monitoring, artificial intelligence, convolutional neural network (CNN), plant disease detection, cloud computing, mobile application and machine learning.

Authors - Arunabh Barooah, S. Saranya Rubini
Abstract - In the context of the digital music industry, accurate classification of music into genres and the ability to recommend appropriate genres for a user greatly improves usability of various streaming platforms. Several traditional machine learning approaches that rely on metadata face significant limitations, such as inconsistencies in the data, the growing diversity of musical styles, and a lack of focus on the actual musical content of songs. These shortcomings often result in suboptimal performance, particularly in recommendation systems. In response to these issues, this work proposes Deep Tune Network (DTN), a deep learning system for automated genre analysis and discovery of music based on similar acoustic patterns. This system uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) to identify the repetitive patterns inside audio signal needed to classify music into different genre. The model achieves a maximum test accuracy of 93.01%, demonstrating its reliability in real-world applications. Additionally, a cosine similarity-based recommendation system is implemented to suggest acoustically similar songs, bridging accurate genre classification with personalized playlist curation.

Abstract - In India what does it take to go PRO in football? Players from their childhood shred sweat,blood and their precious time. And in sport we know that the next-gen superstar is guaranteed to start off his career from local and youth leagues. And honestly speaking these leagues do not offer the resources to invest. Resources in the sense that include technical skills, opponent player data, and event data(player stats). Currently, event data is mostly collected manually by human individuals, who gather data in several steps and through numerous persons involved. And this manually collecting data requires a lot of human resources and requires multiple checks and for that reason collection data is not practical in local or youth leagues. And this process takes a lot of time. So Automatic event detection could provide event data faster. which players can take use to analyse players and their own performance. And through which scouts would be able to ensure no player is missed or overlooked.

PCOS Detection in Ultrasound Images Using Transfer Learning with InceptionV3 and ResNet50
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:30pm IST
Authors - Arushi Madaan, Sunita Garhwal, Anu Bajaj
Abstract - Women today are most likely to be experiencing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal imbalance disorder. This disorder mostly affects women’s ovaries, where a large number of tiny fluid-filled sacs called cysts—also referred to as follicles—form around the ovary’s periphery. The exact root cause of PCOS is still unknown despite advances in science. Using ultrasound (US) scans to identify numerous follicles is an efficient way to diagnose PCOS early and schedule treatment. The primary purpose of this article is to determine whether or not a woman has PCOS or not without supervision from a physician. In this work, we provide a deep learning (DL) method based on transfer learning for PCOS classification using US ovarian images, with the goal of improving diagnostic efficiency and precision. InceptionV3 and ResNet50 models, which had accuracy rates of 99.68% and 97.5%, respectively, were used for this research. The study’s findings show that, as compared to conventional machine learning (ML) techniques, transfer learning-based classification performs better in PCOS variant classification. This study aims to accurately diagnose PCOS in patients and use our proposed model to treat PCOS. Gynaecologists and other medical professionals can benefit from our model’s ability to provide a prompt, reliable, and correct response.

Authors - Sushma Vispute Priya Surana, Shubhangi Vairagar, Sujit Shaha, Omkar Shinde, Sameer Sambhare, Krushna Salbande
Abstract - Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting social interaction, communication, and behavior. Autism is the third most common developmental disorder in the world. In India, the prevalence of autism is increasing and is estimated to be around 1 in 68 children. With its rising prevalence, early detection is crucial for timely intervention. This paper serves as both a review and a research study. The review explores existing ASD detection methodologies, highlighting machine learning approaches such as multinomial logistic regression (MLR), support vector machines (SVM), and convolutional neural networks (CNN), along with tools like eye-tracking and EEG analysis. The research component applies machine learning models—including Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, SVM, KNeighbors, Naive Bayes, and Neural Networks—on AQ10 survey data (1054 samples, 19 features) to evaluate their effectiveness. SVM achieved the highest accuracy. Further analysis examined the necessity of all 10 AQ10 questions, revealing that AQ4 and AQ10 contribute the least to predictive accuracy. Heatmap analysis confirmed weak correlations with the total ASD score. These findings suggest that refining ASD screening tools by removing less informative questions can improve efficiency while maintaining diagnostic reliability.

Brain Tumor Segmentation in MRI Images using U-Net
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:30pm IST
Authors - Nirav Bhatt, Purvi Prajapati, Nikita Bhatt, Jiten Bhalavat
Abstract - A crucial stage in medical image analysis for brain tumor diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient monitoring is brain tumor segmentation. It entails locating the tumor and any of its subregions, including the necrotic core, peritumoral edema and an enlarging tumor. Manual segmentation takes a lot of time and is prone to mistakes, which makes it unsuitable for regular clinical use. Recently, deep learning-based techniques have shown promise as a method for automatically segmenting brain tumors. In this work, we suggest a deep learning method for automatically segmenting brain tumors from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans using a UNet architecture. A deep learning architecture created especially for image segmentation is the U-Net model. It is composed of an encoder-decoder structure, where the decoder reconstructs the input image and the encoder extracts features from it. On a range of medical image segmentation tasks, including brain tumor segmentation, the U-Net model has demonstrated state-of-the-art performance.

Breaking the influence: The Role of De-influencers in shaping Anti- Consumption and Conscious Consumption
Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:30pm IST
Authors - Divya Lakshmi R, Jayasri R, Deepak Gupta, Shobhana Palat Madhavan
Abstract - The rise of social media has significantly influenced consumption behaviour, with influencers shaping purchasing decisions across industries. However, a countermovement— de-influencing—has emerged, urging consumers to rethink their buying habits and embrace conscious consumption. This study explores how de-influencers impact consumer decision-making by discouraging excessive and unsustainable purchases. This study employs the theoretical framework of Consumer Resistance Theory. Through an online survey of 192 respondents, the research examines factors such as trust in de-influencers, follower congruence, ethical concerns, and message content in shaping anti-consumption tendencies. The findings show that de-influencers are linked to attitudes that support sustainable consumption. There is a positive relationship between follower alignment and brand avoidance, while ethical concerns are strongly tied to anti-consumption and conscious consumption. A minimalist mindset also aligns with these patterns, indicating that de-influencers influence attitudes that lead to more sustainable choices. The study offers valuable insights for marketers, policymakers, and sustainability advocates, shedding light on the growing digital influence landscape and its implications for sustainable conscious consumption practices.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 12:30pm - 2:30pm IST
Authors - Pranali G.Chavhan, Ritesh V. Patil
Abstract - The race between the rapid spread of ubiquitous computing and the Internet of Behavior has opened up a whole new avenue for the provision of personalized and context-aware services. To this end, the work presents a proactive recommendation algorithm that is meant to capitalize on IoB data to predict user behavior and deliver tailor-made content in an unobtrusive manner. With real-time behavior information added to the mix, it intends to go a step further from traditional recommendation systems. What differentiates this approach is its use and manipulation of a multitude of contextual factors: geographical context, temporal context, context of what device is being used - perhaps even emotional context as well. This live blending affords the system the ability to respond to what is happening in the real world, thus making it more reactive and relevant. The simulation results show that this awareness of context is going to generate a significantly better user engagement and accuracy of recommendation rather than traditional systems.

Authors - D Kishore Babu, K Subba Rao, Nagesh Babu Dasari, Kumara Raja, Golla Mary Prakash Kumari, Vijayakumar Chilamkurthi
Abstract - A neurological disorder identified as Parkinson's disease (PD) is described through a continuing loss of dopamine producing brain cells, which results in bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremors. Symptoms typically appear after 60 - 80% of these cells have disappeared. 7 - 10 thousand people suffer with Parkinson's disease throughout the world, primarily affecting those over fifty, while 4% of cases also affect younger age groups. 90% of Parkinson's disease patients experience speech issues early in the disease. Machine learning algorithms offer a practical means of diagnosing Parkinson's disease early on by analyzing speech features. By using voice datasets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, these methods may effectively and with low error rates classify Parkinson's disease (PD). This raises the likelihood of an early diagnosis and course of action.

Authors - Manasi Sangamnerkar, Prachi Mukherji, Seema Rajput, Nandini Kendre, Vaishnavi Mudaliar
Abstract - This paper gives a comparative study of the K-means clustering algorithm run on three platforms: a CPU, an FPGA, and a hybrid CPU-FPGA setup, focusing on execution efficiency and scalability. The CPU version is suitable for small datasets due to its simple serial processing ability, while the FPGA shows superior performance for larger datasets with hardware acceleration and parallel processing. The hybrid setup employs the ARM Cortex-A9 processor in addition to the programmable logic of the Xilinx ZedBoard (ZYNQ-7000 SoC). The algorithm is run through Vitis on the CPU, while AXI-interfaced IP cores, developed using Vivado, provide signal monitoring and real-time debugging through the Integrated Logic Analyzer (ILA). This setup provides dynamic software control and high-speed processing. The FPGA showed an execution time of 38.077 nanoseconds, compared to the 0.015519 seconds on the CPU, providing a speedup of about 106 times. Implementation issues, such as the lack of native floating-point support and reliance on fixed-point approximations, have been noted for future improvement. Additionally, 8-bit binary representations of centroids are visualized using LEDs on the FPGA, providing a physical and intuitive visualization of the clustering process. This paper illustrates the effectiveness of FPGAs and hybrid CPU-FPGA setups in accelerating compute-intensive machine learning algorithms and the benefits of hardware-based optimization in real-time and embedded systems.

Abstract - Floods are one of the most dangerous natural disasters, both frequent and dynamic due to continuous land use changes and climate change. This causes difficulty in predicting the areas most vulnerable due to their complex nature, causing heavy loss and damage. The study presents a data-driven framework for flood susceptibility mapping, examining the influence of multiple satellite-derived geo-spatial and temporal features in the Cachar district of Assam, India—a region frequently impacted by monsoonal flooding. By integrating Machine Learning with features derived from NDVI (Landsat 8), LULC (Sentinel-2), topographic variables (SRTM DEM), soil texture (OpenLandMap), and monsoon precipitation (CHIRPS), alongside flood extent information obtained from NDWI and Sentinel-1 SAR data, the model aims to enhance predictive accuracy in flood-prone, data-constrained environments. A rigorous feature selection process using IGR and VIF score and comparative evaluation across various classifiers was used to optimize the model. The study highlights the importance of integrating machine learning with remote sensing data to construct a precise flood risk model to aid the disaster management team in identifying vulnerable regions.

Authors - Jyotsna More, Suvarna Aranjo, Martina D’souza, Siddhi Awlegaonkar, Saahil Chaurasia, Aditya Ghadge, Shreya Jadhav
Abstract - Traditional voting systems suffer from several challenges, including voter impersonation, ballot tampering, multiple voting, and lack of transparency, which compromise electoral integrity. To address these issues, this paper proposes a Blockchain-Based Biometric Voting System that integrates fingerprint authentication with blockchain technology to enhance the security, transparency, and reliability of elections. Biometric authentication ensures that only registered voters and administrators can access the system, eliminating impersonation and fraudulent voting. The R307 fingerprint module is used for real-time voter authentication, preventing unauthorized access. Once verified, votes are recorded on a blockchain ledger, ensuring data immutability and decentralization. Unlike conventional databases, blockchain technology eliminates single points of failure, preventing vote manipulation and unauthorized modifications. The system also incorporates a web-based interface that allows voters to register, authenticate, and securely cast their votes, while administrators can manage the election process with full transparency. Blockchain’s decentralized nature ensures that all transactions, including candidate registration, vote counting, and election results, are securely stored and verifiable, preventing tampering and external interference. Initial testing demonstrates high accuracy in biometric verification and efficient blockchain-based vote storage, making the system scalable for local, state, and national elections. By integrating biometric security with blockchain's trustless nature, this system provides a fraud-resistant, transparent, and tamper-proof voting solution, fostering greater public confidence in electoral processes.

Authors - Mathesh H P, Shanthini E, Praveen S, Praneshwaran M S
Abstract - Environment with green practices depends heavily on efficient waste management, especially in parts of the economy where garbage is produced and processed in huge quantity Plastic bottles are one of the largest impediments to waste material due to their bulk use and destructive effect on the environment Inability of conventional methods of garbage segregation to offer the required precision and speed to function in most situations renders garbage segregation ineffective. To counter the issue, in this project, an improved waste sorting mechanism using the YOLOv8 object detection algorithm is utilized. Image processing and real-time machine learning are utilized by the system to separate and filter plastic bottles from the rest of the waste materials on a conveyor belt accurately. On grounds of efficiency and effectiveness, the YOLOv8 algorithm is superior to traditional methods and previous models. It is also highly renowned for detecting objects with a very high degree of accuracy. Other methods did not extend beyond detection, but auto-sorting ensures that plastic trash is sorted according to what needs to be recycled. This raises the overall processes of waste management and lowers contamination. Because it can provide businesses with a more and more scalable option, this invention is a giant leap for automated waste management.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm IST
Authors - Pranali Kosamkar, Gautam Sharma, Lakshya Upadhyaya, Bhavya Shah, Samarth Patel
Abstract - In this paper, we will focus on optimization of MYSQL queries. Different factors are taken into account when calculating the cost of a query, such as the number of disk accesses, CPU processing time, and the number of rows scanned. Considering all this, we can create a price estimate, price analysis of all the different ways to write questions, metrics, constraint integrity, JOINS, nested queries, and other queries that come up when writing a lot of code from questions. Interfacing with the data logic and cost calculations is done in Python and is used with libraries like Matplotlib to find a more efficient comparison query writing strategy. MySQL's EXPLAIN keyword extracts execution details like the number of rows scanned and usage metrics and combines them with Python's timing module for execution time. These factors lead to the final price estimate and are plotted using graphs to help to draw conclusions. We also developed a MySQL user-defined function called calc_query_cost, which includes a formula that estimates query cost based on the number of queries, the number of rows scanned, the processing time, and usage metrics. Experimental results demonstrate that indexed queries were found to reduce the average query execution time by 70%-90%, with non-indexed queries taking up to 5x longer in certain scenarios also JOIN operations proved to be 2-3x more efficient than nested queries in terms of execution cost, especially for larger datasets. Optimizing query-writing strategies resulted in an execution time improvement of up to 60% for complex queries.

Attire Classification in Indian Cinema
Tuesday August 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm IST
Authors - Niharika Patil, Pradnya Patil, Maitreyee Patil, Khushi Jha, Rashmi Apte, Mangesh Bedekar, Neeta Maitre
Abstract - The increasing influence of cinema on fashion trends in India has prompted a need for data-driven analysis to quantify its impact. Prior research has explored general fashion classification or cultural impacts through surveys, but none have automated the study of cultural attire in movies. This work addresses that gap by developing a machine learning-based system to analyze movies and classify the attire of actresses as Indian or Western. Using tools such as OpenCV, TensorFlow, and face recognition libraries, the system extracts movie frames, detects actress presence, and categorizes attire. Results from around 100+ movies highlight a significant shift in representation, with Indian attire percentages varying from 1.44% to 99.72% across films. For example, Sholay (1975) demonstrated 99.72% Indian attire, while Genius (2018) depicted only 1.44%. These findings reveal trends correlating with cultural changes over decades. The work concludes that cinema plays a pivotal role in shaping fashion preferences, providing a foundation for further studies to include comprehensive cultural analyses. Future enhancements aim to broaden attire classification and explore thematic cultural representations.

Authors - Kalmesh Narendra, Prasanna Patil, Ankit Kulkarni, Amogh Kuber, Kiran M R, Suneeta V Budihal
Abstract - Beamforming sends the beam through the desired directions and suppress signals from other ways. Multiple-Input Multiple-output systems combined with beamforming would be of next generation wireless systems. Techniques applied in cellular telecommunications, such as beamforming in 5G, are largely being used at present. In this paper, hybrid beamforming is adopted to enhance interference management in NB-IoT devices by optimising parameters such as Signal-to Noise Ratio and interference power. The focus lies on comparing different forms of beamforming algorithms (analog, digital, hybrid). We find that interference power of hybrid beamforming is 10.48 and signal to noise ratio is 20.45db which is better than other two beamforming techniques. These innovations highlight the possibilities of hybrid beamforming for reliable and efficient networks in dense NB-IoT deployment.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm IST
Authors - Astitva Veer Garg, Aryan Raj, D. Anitha
Abstract - This paper addresses the challenges faced by Retrieval-Augmented Language Models (RALMs) in reducing factual errors by introducing a framework for structured relevance assessment. The aim is to enhance the robustness of RALMs by improving document relevance evaluation, balancing intrinsic and external knowledge, and managing unanswerable queries effectively. We propose a multi-dimensional scoring system for document relevance, considering semantic matching and source reliability. Our approach includes embedding-based relevance scoring, the use of synthetic training data with mixed-quality documents, and specialized benchmarking on niche topics. Additionally, we implement a knowledge integration mechanism and an ”unknown” response protocol to handle queries where knowledge is insufficient. Preliminary evaluations show significant reductions in hallucination rates and improved transparency in reasoning processes. This work advances the development of more reliable question-answering systems capable of functioning effectively in dynamic environments with variable data quality. While challenges remain in accurately distinguishing credible information and balancing system latency with thoroughness, the proposed framework marks a step forward in enhancing the reliability of RALMs.

Authors - Maitri Vaghela, Ansh Patel, Megh Shah
Abstract - Smartphones have become an integral part of students’ daily lives; however, excessive and unconscious usage can impact their productivity and mental well-being. Traditional survey-based studies are often limited by self-reporting inaccuracies, leading to the need for more objective assessment methods. This study adopts a smartphone sensing approach rooted in digital phenotyping to collect real-time behavioral data from 30 university students. Using an in-house developed app, data on app usage, screen unlock patterns, sleep indicators, and stress levels were collected. Behavioral features like mobile usage, sleep quality, and stress levels were used to predict distracted and mindful usage windows. Findings indicate that high non-academic app usage during study hours, frequent nighttime phone activity, and elevated stress levels correlate with distracted behavior. Conversely, healthier sleep patterns and the use of academic-related apps are associated with mindful engagement. These insights aim to promote greater self-awareness and healthier smartphone habits among students.

Abstract - Pattern matching allows users to search the database for specific DNA sequences. As biological data increases exponentially, researchers are striving to improve solutions in various areas of bio-informatics. Real applications require faster algorithms with lower error rates. Therefore, in this work, we provide parallel implementation of four pattern-matching algorithms developed to speed up the search for DNA sequence patterns. We implement these algorithms both serially and parallelly. Parallel implementation of these algorithms provides a more optimized, time-efficient way of performing pattern-matching in DNA Sequences. Experimental results show that the parallel version of these proposed algorithms is faster than their serial versions. The paper finally runs all four algorithms’ serial and parallel versions for NCBI ‘Homo Sapiens’ Dataset. Output and time-efficiencies for all algorithms are recorded and compared with respect to sequential and parallel.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm IST
Authors - Saptarshi Kundu, Ruchir Chhabra, Abhivardhan Yadav, Surendra Solanki, Gaurav Kumawat, Deepjyoti Choudhury
Abstract - Financial institutions face major challenges with regards to data privacy, fraud detection, and credit risk assessment as a result of the weaknesses in centralized AI systems that deal with sensitive financial data. These are susceptible to cyberattacks, breaches of privacy, and inability to comply with regulation. In an effort to solve these challenges, we propose FinSec-FL, a robust Federated Learning (FL) framework to enhance secure, scalable, and privacy-oriented AI in financial services. It leverages homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation, and differential privacy methods that allow cooperative AI model training while preserving raw data in confidence. Moreover, it includes blockchain-smart contracts for maintaining some model verification and auditability, which is also transparent and tamper-resistant for confidential information. This method adds higher resilience of the system against malicious activity and trust for the decentralized financial networks. The framework contains a method known as Adaptive Federated Learning, which facilitates rapid fraud detection, and also federated reinforcement learning to handle credit risk in dynamic environments. This research proves that FinSec-Fl is more accurate than all other centralized models for fraud detection, which protects privacy and computational efficiency, which is crucial. Future work would involve quantum-resistant cryptography and federated graph neural networks to further detect neural networks to detect fraud patterns, which is the future objective of the project.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm IST
Authors - Shruthi D, Chethan H. K, Agughasi Victor Ikechukwu
Abstract - A set of encoder-decoder large language models (LLMs) called CodeT5+ was created for a range of code-related applications. It presents adaptable architecture that may be tailored to many downstream uses, including text-to-code retrieval, code creation, completion, and math programming. Text-code matching, span denoising, contrastive learning, and causal language modeling spanning unimodal and bimodal multilingual code corpora are among the varied collection of pretrained objectives used to train the model. Using frozen off-the-shelf LLMs for initialization is a significant breakthrough that enables the models to scale effectively without requiring training from scratch. The instruction-tuned CodeT5+ 200m model outperforms current benchmarks and records better state-of-the-art results in code summarization among the variants. The performance metrics were impressive: ROUGE-1 at 78.5%, ROUGE-2 at 66.2%, ROUGE-L at 77.4%, BLEU-4 at 56.3%, METEOR at 64.7% and CodeBLEU at 71.5%. These outcomes demonstrate how well Co-deT5+ comprehends and produces code for a variety of programming tasks.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm IST
Authors - Shreyas Sutar, Sanjeev Gani, Prajwal R A, Vaibhav. P. Garag, Samrudh Katti, Kiran M R, Suneeta V Budihal
Abstract - This study offers optimization techniques for energy usage in NB-IoT devices, with the main emphasis on integrating the Extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) algorithm. eDRX allows devices to stay in a low-power sleep state for a longer period before waking up for network connectivity, only as and when needed. This is a technique for overcoming significant obstacles to IoT deployments in remote or hostile geographies by allowing devices to last much longer on battery power. The research also provides a comparative analysis of eDRX against other power management mechanisms and shows its energy efficiency and operational stability superiority. The research validates the development of sustainable and scalable IoT solutions.

Integrating Social Media’s Role in Elections with the Theory of Planned Behavior: A Comprehensive Exami-nation of Voter Intention
Tuesday August 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm IST
Authors - Anita Shalehah, Massoud Moslehpour, Khoirul Amin, Hanif Rizaldy, Ankita Manohar Walawalkar
Abstract - This paper integrates a systematic review of social media’s role in elections with an extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework to examine how online political marketing influences voter intention. The first part provides a review of 17 studies on the impact of social media, detailing how platforms—particularly Twitter and Facebook—affect political campaigns. The second part extends the TPB by incorporating Candidate Image (CI) as a critical factor mediating the relationship between Political Marketing on Social Media (PMSM) and voter intention. By extending the Theory of Planned Behavior to include Candidate Image as a mediating factor, this paper introduces a novel framework that bridges rational predictors of intention with the symbolic and emotional impact of online candidate branding—filling a critical gap in political marketing theory. Empirical findings from multiple contexts suggest that while social media can substantially influence voter choice—especially when campaigns deploy two-way communication and salient image-building—some campaigns still rely on one-way “broadcast” approaches that limit true voter engagement. This synthesis reveals how strategic social media engagement can improve attitudes (AT), shape subjective norms (SN), and heighten perceived behavioral control (PBC). Recommendations emphasize the need for interactive content, credible messaging, and authenticity in building candidates’ online presence. The paper concludes by discussing the practical implications for campaign teams and the theoretical refinements required to fully account for digital-era political behavior.

Intelligent System for Accessible Content Creation by Design
Tuesday August 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm IST
Authors - Charudatta Jadhav, Sai Chandana Sirisha Gorasa, Manjiri Sathe, Kunal Shrivastava
Abstract - Enterprises produce a broad range of digital documents, such as bank statements, pay slips, e-books/bills & others which transformed the way consumers engage with brands but a section of the world population with print disabilities is still deprived of such digital facilities because they are mostly inaccessible. There are diverse ways in which documents are created by enterprises like - via text editor, raw content coming from Database or CMS. In all scenarios, enterprises take a reactive approach to implement accessibility postproduction, which is not right and practical because it’s a laborious and manual task, which requires specialized training, high cost & effort. In this paper, we are presenting our solution approach of ‘Inclusive Content by DESIGN’, where we are building a core AI technology capable of processing raw and unstructured content derived from traditional document formats like PDF, Text, HTML, or from enterprise databases or Content Management Systems. Our technology identifies accessibility gaps at element level e.g., headings, images etc. and at page and document level, introduce accessibility fixes based on noncompliance and later publish diverse accessible formats like accessible PDF, EPUB3, DAISY text/audio and E braille. It will envisage the enterprise system to take care of end-to-end process from content generation to content production with ‘Machine First’ approach and to disseminate in inclusive formats. Our vision is to bring a holistic approach of solving all types of document accessibility in one platform by disseminating the right content at right time at enterprise level by integrating accessibility at root.

Position Estimation of a vehicle using Particle Filters
Tuesday August 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm IST
Authors - Saiprasad Teli, Krishna Kulkarni, Vivek Maragal, Uday Hiremath, Supriya Katwe
Abstract - Localization is vital in autonomous driving, which an accurate vehicle position enables. There are many studies on different localization algorithms, like Montecarlo and Kalman filters, for sensor fusion and localization of the vehicle. Particle filters are one of the techniques that help accurately estimate the vehicle’s position, even in non-linearities. Such an algorithm is presented in this study for vehicle position estimation integrating data from GPS and IMU sensors, which is generated from a sensor, and simulation is carried out for demonstration. The algorithm differs from the available study in that it can create particles differently. The results demonstrate that increasing the number of particles in the filter significantly enhances accuracy and reduces error. This approach is particularly effective for autonomous navigation in complex and dynamic environments, making it an ideal candidate for future autonomous driving and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

Zero-Shot Classification with NLI DeBERTa V3: Evaluating MultiNLI for NLP Tasks
Tuesday August 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm IST
Authors - Samriddhi Gupta, Sankrishna Goyal, Khushi Goyal, Ram Kishan Dewangan
Abstract - Zero-Shot Classification (ZSC) has indeed become one of the main topics of research in Natural Language Processing (NLP), as it allows the model to predict the test data belonging to classes that the model has never seen before with no access to any samples from such classes. In this paper, the capability of DeBERTa V3, one of the advanced pre-trained language models, is explored when it comes to zero-shot classification by means of Natural Language Inference (NLI). To this end, we concentrate on the application of MultiNLI dataset for demonstrating the ability of DeBERTa V3 in classifying the text into new classes. Semantic relations and contextualized embeddings allow DeBERTa V3 to perform well in tasks requiring generalization to unseen situations; It can classify cases based on premise-hypothesis pairs without requiring tuning to the specific task. To address these issues, we present a suggested procedure for preprocessing, feature engineering, andemos prompt tuning. The experimental setting measures the model’s usability via accuracy and top-k accuracy parameters. The evaluation also confirms that DeBERTa V3, with the suitable hypothesis template and prompt-tuning, surpasses typical zero-shot strategies, which significantly improve the reliability of practical applications in various NL abilities. This work demonstrates the potential of the zero-shot learning paradigm for practical scenarios where access to labeled data is limited, especially in the settings with multiple languages and domains.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm IST
Authors - Bimlendu Shahi, V. Pushparajesh
Abstract - The depth of behavioral analysis using a hypothetical case study on Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Parameters provides solution for better functioning and performance improvements [1]. In the present time in world of Information Technology Industry, the leading container technology is Docker [2]. Further, this case study helps to characterize their alterations or variations for container based SDN setup and non-container based SDN setup. In this paper, we have performed hypothetical case study focusing on Software-Defined Networking (SDN) parameters implemented container setups on Raspberry Pi devices. A hypothetical case study was carried out typically in two network states: one at healthy operating condition without any impacts in the network and another at Congested Network condition. In a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) environment, understanding the variations in performance metrics under different conditions is crucial. In this paper, a hypothetical study was performed on the network-based container setup on raspberry Pi using the statistical methods by understanding the p-value and confidence interval. The hypothesis testing results shows that SDN performance metrics over time or different level of interactions (i.e., throughput, jitter and latency) vary from Normal Operating condition to congested condition.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm IST
Authors - Hafiz Shaikh, Harshad Mane, Aditya Tapkire, Khomane Nishant, Samarth Pawar
Abstract - In this research, a double-acting cylinder and a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) are used to build and implement an automatic height-based object separator. By combining cutting-edge sensor technology for height detection with the actuation capabilities of a double-acting cylinder, this system automates the separation process, minimising errors and reducing reliance on manual labour. Its goal is to improve efficiency and accuracy in sorting objects of different heights in industrial environments. The process entails setting up the PLC to process data from height sensors, accept input, and adjust the actuation mechanism as necessary. According to experimental data, the system reliably sorts items with a high degree of dependability, demonstrating a significant improvement in separation efficiency. Potential solutions are addressed along with implementation challenges like response times and calibration. The results open the door for further advancements in industrial automation technology and highlight the value of automated systems for height-based sorting applications. By emphasizing the value of innovation in production process optimisation, this study adds to the expanding corpus of knowledge in automation and robotics. Using a non-contact sensor, a conveyor belt moves items to a detecting zone where their heights are determined. The PLC processes the sensor data and uses the object’s height to decide the proper action. The item is then physically separated onto the appropriate bin or conveyor belt by activating a double-acting cylinder.

Authors - V Tanisha, Varun Kashyap, Vytla Sri Hanvith, V Yamini, Santhameena S
Abstract - The increasing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has raised security concerns due to the computational and power constraints of embedded devices. Traditional cryptographic algorithms often impose high resource demands, making them impractical for IoT environments. This paper investigates the use of lightweight cryptographic algorithms, specifically PRESENT and SIMON, for securing data transmission in IoT applications. The implementation involves an ESP32 microcontroller interfaced with a DHT11 sensor, where the collected environmental data is encrypted before being transmitted to the cloud platform, ThingSpeak. The performance of the encryption algorithms is analyzed based on computational efficiency, memory consumption, and security strength. Experimental results demonstrate that lightweight cryptographic techniques provide an effective trade-off between security and performance, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality without significantly impacting device resources. The study highlights the importance of integrating lightweight cryptography into IoT networks to mitigate security vulnerabilities while maintaining operational efficiency. These findings contribute to the development of secure and scalable IoT systems that address the growing demand for resource-efficient security solutions.

Abstract - A deep learning approach to classify fictional and comic characters into four alignment categories (Good, Bad, Neutral and Antihero) based on their back-stories using natural language processing (NLP) has been presented. Our methodology incorporates comprehensive text preprocessing, including data cleaning, WordNet-based augmentation and dataset balancing techniques. The provided classification model employs a neural network architecture with vectorizers, embedding layers, global max pooling, and regularized fully connected layers, optimized using Adam with early stopping along with it to enhance the user experience, a cosine similarity retrieval system is integrated which identifies the most similar character in our database based on input descriptions and provides that along with the alignment. The model achieves approximately 91% validation accuracy which is better compared to all previous state of art models, demonstrating its effectiveness for text-based classification tasks. Beyond entertainment applications, this approach shows potential for adaptation to criminal profiling and behavioral analysis which can be helpful for analyzing class of a criminal profile using a similar NLP model, where textual descriptions of backgrounds and psychological factors could predict behavioral patterns

Early-Stage Alzheimer’s Detection: Comparing CNN and Advanced Neural Architectures
Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm IST
Authors - Krish Mithaiwala, Vidhiben Ka Patel, Sachin Patel, Dhwanil Chauhan, Margi Shah, Ankur Patel
Abstract - Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological illness that affects memory and cognitive function over time. There is currently no cure or treatment to stop the disease's progression. Early diagnosis is essential but challenging because symptoms typically don't show up until serious brain damage has occurred. This study investigates how convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a type of deep learning, can be used to increase the precision of brain imaging diagnosis. Conv2D, MaxPooling2D, and dense layers were used to train the proposed CNN model on a Kaggle MRI dataset that was divided into three dementia levels: low, mild, and severe. SMOTE was used to resolve class imbalance, improving the model's capacity to categorise under-represented groups. The CNN had a relatively low F1 score, a robust recall, and a high classification accuracy of 96.35%. On the same MRI dataset, comparative comparison with other neural architectures such as VGG16 and Inception V3 also showed dependable performance, underscoring CNNs' potential to support early detection. This study highlights the potential of deep learning to transform Alzheimer's diagnosis and improve clinical decision-making for improved disease treatment, despite difficulties in identifying small brain alterations.

Mamdani Fuzzy Inference System Based on Multi-Textural Biomarkers for Alzheimer 's Stage Detection
Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm IST
Authors - Kavitha A. R, Ramya M, Charanya T. N, Lita Pansy. P, E. BHUVANESWARI
Abstract - The chronic brain disease known as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) primarily affects short-term memory while advancing through its neurodegenerative stages. The initial symptoms of the disease develop gradually before the condition deteriorates thus early detection becomes vital. A Machine learning approach powers the Disease Diagnostic System (DDS) that analyzes T2 weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans from Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. The paper examines the Hippocampus and amygdala located in the left hemisphere of the human brain as Region of Interest (ROI) which is extracted from small cohort MRI scans. The μ±3σ normalization method applies to segmented ROI while first-order histogram features extract Skewness and Kurtosis values. The Region of Interest receives two-dimensional wavelet features which include the Max norm of the original image and the Diagonal Detail Coefficient. The extracted textural markers serve as inputs to build a Mamdani FIS which defines minimum rules for AD stage diagnosis. The proposed classification method delivers accuracy levels of 96.13 percent for AD vs NC diagnosis and 94.73 percent for MCI vs NC diagnosis and 93.11 percent for AD vs MCI diagnosis. Multiple feature extraction through biomarker texture analysis enables better decision generation within the expert system framework.

Authors - Roopa Ravish, Priyadarshi Sivakumaran, Darshana Vedavalli, Sai Sooraj Ramagiri, Nitish R
Abstract - The complexity of the analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) is a difficulty for application in clinical practice, it has historically relied on expert interpretation in an effort to identify discrete patterns of signals, and that makes scalability and efficiency difficult. In response to this challenge, a method of EEG signal automation classification using deep learning has been developed to help in the diagnosis of neurological disease through the EEG signal classification of six types: seizure, lateralized periodic discharges (LPD), generalized periodic discharges (GPD), lateralized rhythmic delta activity (LRDA), generalized rhythmic delta activity (GRDA), and other. This approach uses a multi-class EEG classifier based on ResNet blocks, 1D convolution, and GRU layers to learn EEG signal multi-scale and temporal features.The data used are EEG samples divided into training, validation, and test sets, and the architecture is optimized for processing sequences efficiently and hence ideal for pattern detection specific to every neurological disorder. Performance measures reflect the model's strength, with an accuracy of 83.28%, a macro F1 measure of approximately 79.85%, and a Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence loss of 0.26 during training. The high F1 score also reflects the model's strength for clinical application, with the potential to simplify diagnostic procedures. The results reveal the strength of convolutional networks to classify EEG and enable large-scale automated neurological evaluation solutions of the future.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm IST
Authors - Nilay Vaidya, Kamini Solanki, Krishna Kant, Jay Panchal, Kanubhai K. Patel, Tejas Thakkar
Abstract - Organizations face persistent challenges in employee retention, with burnout and disengagement being primary drivers of attrition. Traditional retention strategies often rely on reactive approaches, failing to identify early warning signs. This study proposes an AI-driven sentiment analysis framework that integrates Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) to detect early indicators of disengagement and burnout in workplace communication. By analyzing emails, chat logs, HR feedback, and survey responses, the model identifies sentiment trends, emotional tone, and linguistic patterns linked to declining employee engagement. The extracted sentiment scores are incorporated into an MCDM-based decision model, ranking key risk factors such as leadership influence, job satisfaction, and workload. This enables HR teams to implement personalized interventions for at-risk employees. The proposed methodology is validated using real-world organizational datasets, focusing on the accuracy of early detection and intervention effectiveness. Findings indicate that AI-powered sentiment insights, when combined with structured decision models, significantly enhance retention strategies by proactively addressing workplace stressors. This research contributes to AI-driven HR analytics, offering a scalable solution for improving employee engagement and reducing turnover.

Authors - Jatin Kumar Singh, Satwik Bhat, Varunkumar Salimath, Satish Chikkamath, Suneeta V. Budihal, Sujata S. Kotabagi
Abstract - Speaker diarization—the process of partitioning audio streams into segments associated with individual speakers—is a critical task in speech analytics, transcription systems, and human-computer interaction. This paper presents a comprehensive and modular speaker diarization pipeline that integrates state-of-the-art components to ensure high accuracy and scalability across diverse acoustic environments. The proposed system leverages Pyannote.audio for precise speech activity detection and segmentation, ECAPA-TDNN for robust and discriminative speaker embedding extraction, and SA-EEND (Speaker-Attributed End-to-End Neural Diarization) for intelligent speaker assignment, even in scenarios with an unknown number of speakers. Our pipeline addresses limitations in conventional systems by employing a hybrid framework that combines modular interpretability with the flexibility of end-to-end learning. Each component is independently fine-tuned and integrated to form a cohesive diarization system. Pyannote.audio ensures temporal segmentation with high recall, ECAPA-TDNN embeddings provide speaker-specific features with robustness against overlapping speech, and SA-EEND enhances attribution accuracy through attractor-based modeling. The system is validated on publicly available datasets with diverse speaker distributions and overlapping conditions. Evaluation across standard diarization metrics such as DER, JER, and SCER demonstrates notable improvements over baseline methods. The modularity of the system also enables future expansion toward multi-modal diarization and domain-specific applications.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm IST
Authors - Devika Deshpande, Pranjali Deshpande
Abstract - Transliteration is the process of converting text from one script to another while keeping phonetic and orthographic accuracy. It’s a key technique for enhancing interlingual communication and fostering accessibility in multilingual settings. The review encompasses a thorough examination of transliteration systems considering several languages and scripts. Examining their benefits, drawbacks and applications, the review classifies transliteration methods into grapheme-based, phoneme-based and hybrid systems. While phoneme-based models ensure better phonetic alignment but require significant processing power, grapheme-based approaches provide simplicity but lack in phonetic correctness. Hybrid models use statistical and deep learning techniques to integrate contextual and linguistic data, resulting in enhanced adaptability and accuracy as compared to the traditional approaches. The survey focuses on the importance of transliteration systems for Natural Language Processing (NLP), Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval (CLIR), and multilingual communication. It also addresses the challenges like inconsistency, limited data, and phonetic ambiguity. It also explores the possibilities in enhancement of current transliteration systems that will help create strong, flexible, and context-sensitive solutions to linguistic ambiguities and improve access to digital resources in multilingual setting.

Authors - Apoorva Appanna Bhoi, Swathi Raghavendra Kulkarni, Hitashi Dinesh Haldonkar, Satish Chikkamath, Suneeta V. Budihal, Sujatha S. Kotabagi
Abstract - Rainfall forecasting is one of the most critical management methods associated with water levels, agriculture, and disaster prevention. But it is not so simple to precisely forecast rainfall because the climatic condition is fluctuating along with other environmental conditions. There can be destruction and floods with the death of many people if the heavy rain is unforeseen. Thus, in this research study, the emphasis will be placed on determining the efficiency of ML and DL in accurately forecasting rainfall. Machine learning and deep learning models made the rainfalls’ predictions easier, yet the development stage. The techniques employed for rainfall prediction are Logistic regression, Decision tree, Random forest, SVM(Support vector machine), and CNN(Convolustion neural network). These models are validated using a test database and accuracy and ROC curve measures to find out the best model for rainfall prediction. This work attempts to compare some machine learning algorithms with deep learning algorithms and informs us which of the approach is optimal. As this study’s result indicates,the proposed CNN model in this paper is the most precise model compared to the others.

Authors - Jayshree Thota, Surajgouda M Patil, Satish Chikkamath, Suneeta V Budihal
Abstract - Breast cancer is a serious disease that affects both men and women, although women are more susceptible. It is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, particularly among women. In its early stages, breast cancer often presents few observable signs, making diagnosis challenging and delaying effective treatment. However, it is important to note that with early diagnostics and appropriate intervention, the mortality rate from this disease can be significantly reduced. In addition to standard diagnostic methods, artificial intelligence has shown great potential in assessing the early risk of breast cancer by analyzing enriched health data. In this study we attempted to see accuracy with and without PCA, apply Logistic Regression to classify the cancer. The results shows an in-sight that with PCA the best results are obtained as the most useful information is restrained in the data. Subsequent research will aim to combine fuzzy logic controllers with rule-based controllers to improve the detection rate of breast cancers. Additionally, expert rules will be utilized to evaluate the validity of the proposed model.

Authors - Kalyani Kulkarni, Dipti Varpe, Gargi Kathale, Shreya Patil, Drishi Dhamale
Abstract - This paper aims to presents the design and development of a robotic system able to autonomously detect and fill potholes in roads, a significant challenge in civic structure conservation. The proposed system utilizes a combination of detectors and selectors to achieve this task effectively. An ultrasonic detector is employed to detect the presence of potholes by measuring the distance to the road face. When a pothole is detected, a servo motor activates a filling medium to introduce a suitable material to repair the disfigurement. To ensure safe navigation, an infrared (IR) detector is used to descry obstacles in the robot's path, allowing it to avoid collisions and implicit damage. Global Positioning System (GPS) technology is integrated into the system to track the robot's position in real time, enabling remote monitoring and control. This data is transmitted to a pall-grounded platform, similar to Blynk, where it can be penetrated and imaged through a mobile operation. This allows for effective operation of the robot's operations and ensures that potholes are repaired instantly, perfecting road safety and reducing conservation costs. A motordriver and DC motors are responsible for the robot's movement, allowing it to navigate to pothole locales and carry out the form process. The overall system armature is designed to be effective, dependable, and able to operate autonomously without mortal intervention. By automating the process of pothole discovery and form, the proposed system can significantly ameliorate the condition of roads and enhance the overall quality of life for citizens.

Authors - Ramesh M Tirakanagoudar, Lavanya Joshi, Sujay Badiger, Satish Chikkamath, Suneeta V Budihal, Sujata Kotabagi
Abstract - This study looks into how brain signals, recorded using EEG (electroencephalogram) technology, can help identify human emotions through deep learning. It focuses on three emotional states—negative, neutral, and positive—and examines how certain patterns in brain activity can reflect how we feel. To analyze this, the research uses Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, which are well-suited for understanding time-based data like EEG signals. The model is carefully designed to pick up on meaningful patterns, reduce the risk of overfitting, and improve how accurately it can classify emotional states. Before training the model, the EEG data goes through detailed preparation, including cleaning, labeling, and splitting into training and testing sets. Training is carried out using efficient methods that help save on resources and avoid unnecessary computations. The study points to real-world use cases—such as tools for monitoring mental well-being or creating technology that responds to users’ emotions. Overall, it shows how deep learning and EEG data together can deepen our understanding of emotional states.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm IST
Authors - Pharindra Kumar Sharma, Neha Jain, Rahul Kumar Singh, Mayank Sharma, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Manish Jain, Shyam Akashe, Ranjeet Singh Toma
Abstract - In general, license plates are recognized under normal circumstances but it becomes very critical to track in hazy and foggy environment. Such conditions are often faced at hilly or terrain area where foggy weather and hazy environment creates challenges for safety and security. Mainly tourists are the soft target at such types of tourist destinations looted and theft through vehicles. Safety and security is a prime concern for an international tourist while explore any other country. Despite this, recognizing vehicle license plates is very difficult, especially when there is fog present in a particular global environment. Most of the time, fog or haze blurs the boundaries and characters of license plates, making them difficult to detect or identify. The purpose of this paper is to propose a hybrid machine learning algorithm to remove haze, improve image quality and identify a vehicle. To make license plate recognition more accurate in foggy weather, this algorithm uses two hybrid machine learning approach, which will be conducive to ensuring the safe operation of vehicles in foggy weather.

Real-Time Resume Screening Using Kafka Based Applicant Tracking System
Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm IST
Authors - Animesh Giri, Arigela Likhith, Atul Kumar Patra, Balabhadra Sai Siri
Abstract - Recruitment is a fundamental yet resource intensive process for organizations, especially when handling large volumes of applications. Manually screening resumes to identify qualified candidates is time consuming, error prone, and difficult to scale. Human judgment may overlook suitable candidates or inconsistently apply criteria, resulting in delayed hiring and reduced efficiency. Traditional systems also struggle to keep up with the dynamic demands of large scale recruitment workflows. This paper suggests a distributed, real time ATS for automating resume ingestion, parsing, and ranking. The system, built with Apache Kafka and Spark Streaming, eliminates rule based static filtering by taking advantage of RAKE, regular expressions, and TF-IDF scoring to extract and score structured resume data. The pipeline is automated from file ingestion to candidate ranking while offloading workloads onto multiple FastAPI based microservices. A load balancer based on hashing distributes resumes equally among processing servers. A resume is parsed to candidate details, and these are published to Kafka topics. Candidate resumes are scored against job descriptions using TF-IDF scoring. This allows unbiased, real-time candidate evaluation for multiple positions. Kafka achieves high availability with topic replication and offset management, and Spark Streaming achieves continuous processing and recovery through checkpointing. Structured outputs in JSON format enable downstream analytics and integration with external systems. Performance measurements show the system processes growing volumes of resumes with invariant latency and high performance. Fault tolerance controls also guarantee seamless operation in the event of server or network failure. Scalable performance is verified by complexity analysis for different job types and resume contents. With automated resume screening through distributed stream processing, this system eliminates most human effort, reduces hiring time, and offers a fault resilient, data driven alternative to conventional ATS implementations.

Authors - Priyanka Pawar, Anagha Kulkarni, Prajakta Pawar, Bhavana Pansare, Manisha Bhende, Harshal Raje
Abstract - The healthcare industry is undergoing a change thanks to the quick development of Big Data Analytics (BDA), which makes data-driven decisions that improve patient outcomes possible. Predictive modeling offers previously unheard-of possibilities for predicting health outcomes and identifying at-risk groups due to the massive volumes of data generated by the healthcare industry, including genomic information, wearable technology, and electronic health rec- ords (EHRs). This study examines how predictive analytics is being used in the healthcare industry, outlining strategies that use statistical and machine learning methods to better allocate resources, lower readmission rates, and foresee disease outbreaks. Even with its revolutionary potential, integrating BDA is fraught with difficulties, such as the requirement for standardized data formats, interoperabil- ity problems, and data protection issues. For predictive models to be successfully adopted, these obstacles must be removed. The paper explores the potential of predictive analytics in transforming healthcare from reactive to proactive, enhancing patient care and operational efficiency. It proposes the AAI-CDS frame- work, a structured approach to enhance clinical decision-making through AI, aiming for adaptability and integration into the healthcare landscape.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm IST
Authors - Smakshi Alhat, Aayushee Gujarathi, Bhakti Chougule, Shreya Mokalikar, Chhaya Gosavi
Abstract - Incremental data flow analysis is a crucial technique aimed at efficiently updating analysis results when modifications are made to a program, reducing the need for a complete reanalysis. In this study, we conducted an in-depth evaluation of various static analysis tools to assess their capabilities for incremental data flow analysis. The tools explored include Soot and SootUp, known for their flexibility in static analysis; Heros, a framework for interprocedural data flow analysis based on the IFDS/IDE framework; and Boomerang, SparseBoomerang, and SPDS, which focus on demand-driven approaches. Additionally, we examined Vasco and Reviser, tools specifically tailored for incremental analysis. While Reviser appeared promising for its dedicated focus on incremental analysis, its non-functional state, as confirmed by its creators, rendered it impractical for use. This paper offers a comparative assessment of these tools, highlighting their theoretical support, practical limitations, and potential for enabling incremental data flow analysis in future tool development. Furthermore, we implemented a program using SootUp that, while not achieving true incremental analysis, efficiently analyzes only the modified portions of code across different program versions, significantly reducing analysis time. Our findings offer a critical perspective on the current capabilities of analysis tools and suggest directions for future research and tool development.

An Improved Content-Based Recommendation System Integrating Ontology-Based Inferences with Hybrid Causal Representation Learning and Reinforcement Learning
Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm IST
Authors - Ekta Dalal, Parvinder Singh
Abstract - Recommendation system is very important in e-commerce, entertainment, education, and healthcare. It is to help users to find about relevant content. The recommendation systems analyse its attributes and user preferences to create opinions. Although, current methods face lots of problems like cold-start problem, filter bubbles, lack of adaptability, data sparsity, and high dependency. It is often relied on correlation-based learning, it can reinforce biases and repetitive recommendations, and it leads to underprivileged personalization. To address these issues this research proposed a state-of-the-art content-based recommendation system that engages Ontology-Based Inferences with Hybrid Casual Representation Learning (CRL) and Reinforcement Learning (RL). The goal is to enhance recommendation accuracy, fairness, and responsiveness by applying ontology for knowledge representation in a structured manner, CRL for identifying true cause-effect relationships in user preferences, and RL for real-time adaptive learning. The novelty of the method lies in its ability to reduce bias, boost diversity in recommendations, and dynamically respond to shifts in user interests. In order to check the efficiency of the proposed approach, conducted experiments with benchmark datasets and compared it to traditional content-based approaches. The results indicate that method considerably enhances recommendation accuracy, personalization, and user satisfaction and surpasses the drawbacks of current methods efficiently. Experiments were conducted using the Amazon Reviews 2023 dataset, and the model was implemented using Python, TensorFlow, and Scikit-Learn. The findings indicate that the proposed method outperforms traditional content-based approaches, showing a 12% improvement in accuracy, higher personalization, and increased user satisfaction. These results confirm that integrating ontology, CRL, and RL creates a more intelligent, unbiased, and adaptive recommendation system, effectively overcoming the limitations of existing methods.

Abstract - Analyzing the performance of the communication system in terms of real-time applications can be judged by network performance analysis. Wireless networks consist of transmission power, which determines all the key performance metrics, such as throughput, delay, packet loss, and energy efficiency. With an increase in transmission power, it can cover greater signal strength and reduce packet error but will lead to increased amount of interference, energy consumption, and potential network congestion. The NS3 network simulator provides a robust platform for modeling and analyzing the impact of transmission power on wireless networks. It will allow researches to simulate real-life scenarios that alter transmission power levels and hence the effects it will have on the performance of the network under greatly differing conditions. Critical parameters such as SNR, RSSI, and link reliability can effectively be measured through NS3, thus providing the optimum network configuration insights.

Authors - Prerna Agrawal, Savita Gandhi
Abstract - Pneumonia is a predominant cause of illness and death globally, particularly affecting vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Timely and precise diagnosis is essential for effective therapy; however, conventional chest X-ray (CXR) evaluation by radiologists is prone to human error and constrained availability, especially in resource-limited environments. Recent breakthroughs in deep learning have facilitated automated and highly precise medical picture analysis, presenting a possible alternative for pneumonia identification. About 473,780 cases of pneumonia were reported in India in 2022–2023 and throughout this time, pneumonia was caused by 11,497 baby fatalities that aged between 1 to 12 months and 4,571 pediatric pneumonia-related deaths have been reported that aged between 1 to 5 years. In 2024 the annual incidence rate of community acquired Pneumonia in India is estimated to be between 5 and 11 per 1,000 people. This research proposes a system named PneumoSense, an intelligent automatic pneumonia diagnosis system employing DenseNet121, a deep learning model recognized for its efficacy in medical imaging applications. PneumoSense is an automated, intuitive interface that allows users to upload an x-ray image for analysis to ascertain the presence of pneumonia. Upon detection, the algorithm generates a prediction score and advises medical consultation. The model underwent comprehensive testing against various lung illnesses, such as COVID-19 pneumonia, fibrosis, and effusion, confirming its reliability in practical applications. Experimental findings indicate that DenseNet121 surpasses other deep learning algorithms, including CNN, ResNet50, and NASNet, attaining superior recall of 0.9795 and AUC score of 0.9808. The workflow of PneumoSense is also discussed in the paper. PneumoSense diminishes diagnostic inaccuracies, improves accessibility, and provides a feasible AI-driven substitute for manual diagnosis. This study underscores the revolutionary capacity of deep learning in medical diagnostics, facilitating early pneumonia detection, enhancing patient outcomes, and alleviating the workload on radiologists.

Authors - BG.Shresta, P.Hari Sankar, Pinninti Anju Chowdary, Beena B.M
Abstract - This project is to utilize cloud computing in deploying an ML-enabled Flask application for the prediction of water quality. The model, trained on historical datasets of water quality, is integrated into a user-friendly web interface constructed using Flask. Specifically, the main objective is to explore the deployment and hosting of the applications across the AWS cloud platform to ensure scalability, reliability, and efficiency. Other deployment methods scrutinized include AWS Elastic Beanstalk, AWS Lambda, and EC2. For deploying, Elastic Beanstalk was adopted as the principal deployment because it can natively host the application and handle scalability while providing end-to-end management of infrastructure. However, issues arose with regards to Lambda’s resource limitation in handling gigantic ML models, while configuration problems of EC2 were inevitable in scaling. The project itself reflects strengths and limitations of these services and points towards very robust infrastructure in resource-intensive ML applications. It’s applicable not only in the scalable solution of real-time water quality prediction but also comparative with studies on deploying Flask applications within AWS, with insights to optimize performance and future applications based on cost-effectiveness.

AI-Driven Hemodynamic Profiling: Integrating Computational Fluid Dynamics and Machine Learning for Cardiovascular Health Monitoring
Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:30pm IST
Authors - Sparsh Kumar, Satyadhyan Chickerur, Prashanth Kumar Malkiwodeyar
Abstract - Accurately capturing unsteady flow phenomena and complex fluid dynamics is essential for understanding and predicting arterial blood flow behavior. This study leverages computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and machine learning (ML) to detect regions of elevated shear stress in the aorta, focusing on the dynamic responses of arteries under varying hemodynamic conditions. The geometric model of the human aorta was sourced from the Vascular Database, which is supported by SimVascular and includes all necessary boundary conditions. Simulations were performed using the Navier-Stokes equations within SimVascular to generate vtk files containing velocity and pressure data. Since these files could not be directly used for ML training, additional postprocessing was conducted in ParaView. By applying specific functions, we extracted key metrics such as pressure, velocity, wall shear stress, and other parameters at multiple spatial coordinates. This resulted in a CSV dataset comprising 23,777 points with corresponding attributes for further analysis of high wall shear stress regions. A Random Forest classifier was trained on this dataset to predict regions of high wall shear stress of the aorta by analyzing attributes like pressure, velocity, and wall shear stress, providing precise coordinate-based predictions of areas with abnormal hemodynamic stress. In our analysis, regions of elevated shear stress were detected at 1,288 points, representing 5.42% of the total dataset. By integrating CFD with ML, we successfully identified regions of high wall shear stress in the aorta, enhancing clinical diagnostic accuracy and offering a data-driven alternative to traditional cardiovascular diagnostic techniques. This study underscores the value of combining CFD and ML to reduce reliance on traditional cardiovascular tests, streamlining diagnosis and therapeutic planning while reducing costs and complexity.

Optimizing Hybrid Solar-Wind Systems with Differential Evolution for Energy and Stability
Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:30pm IST
Authors - Pritee Parwekar, Chinmayee Ambarish Parwekar, Kshitij Bhushan
Abstract - As growing dependence on wind and solar energy brings about new challenges in both maximizing energy generation and ensuring the stability of grids due to the intermittent nature by virtue of dependence on variable atmospheric conditions, optimization of hybrid solar-wind plant output is achieved through the present study by means of a DE algorithm for maximum energy yield enhancement and grid robustness. The approach includes a simulation of a small hybrid energy system, which consists of a 10 m² solar panel and three wind turbines, each with a capacity of 2 kW, over a period of 24 hours. Using real meteorological data in the form of solar irradiance and wind speed profiles, the differential evolution (DE) algorithm minimizes two most important parameters: tilt angle of solar panels from 0 to 90 degrees and the spacing of the wind turbines, variable from 5 to 50 meters. The objective function is to maximize energy output in total and minimize hour-by-hour power oscillations, a surrogate for grid stability. The results indicate that the optimized configuration with tilt angle 15.23° and turbine spacing of 35.67 m produces a total of 135.82 kWh, up 12.7% from the baseline (120.45 kWh at tilt angle 30° and 10 m spacing). Moreover, the stability penalty, expressed as the sum of hourly output differences, reduces from 48.73 to 42.19, reflecting better grid compatibility. These results underscore the potential of DE as a successful method for the optimization of renewable energy, with a real application to harmonize energy production and stability in hybrid systems. This research supports more efficient and trustworthy renewable grids and contributes to sustainable energy infrastructures transition

A dataset of 16,000 simulated ECG signals, generated using SimVascular, provided the foundation for training and evaluation. CNNs achieved high accuracy in spatial feature extraction, while LSTMs excelled in capturing temporal dependencies in sequential ECG data. PINNs emerged as the most robust model, achieving a training accuracy of 97.8% and a testing accuracy of 97.2%, leveraging domain-specific constraints from the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations. The results highlight the complementary strengths of these models, with PINNs offering superior interpretability and physiological consistency. Future work will focus on integrating multi-modal data and developing real-time systems to advance arrhythmia diagnostics and improve cardiac care outcomes.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:30pm IST
Authors - Jalindar Gandal, Nilesh Gorade, Kunal Sonawane, Khushal Patil
Abstract - Cattle health and productivity are fundamental to the livelihoods of agriculturalists and the overall agricultural economy. Traditional cattle health monitoring methods are often time-consuming and lack the capacity for real-time assessment of cattle health, resulting in reduced milk productivity and economic losses. To address these challenges, we propose the implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT) technology-based, low-cost, real-time cattle health monitoring system. The system comprises wearable sensors for continuous monitoring of vital parameters such as body temperature, heart rate, and activity level. These sensor values are relayed wirelessly to a cloud server, where data is processed and analyzed to identify anomalies indicative of potential health-related problems. This information is presented to the farmer through a user-friendly mobile application, which displays real-time alerts and suggests preventive or remedial actions. The system facilitates early disease detection, leading to improved cattle health, enhanced milk production, and enhanced farm profitability. The system emphasizes cost-effectiveness by utilizing readily available hardware, thereby increasing accessibility for smallholder farmers. The system offers a long-term solution for cattle health management. This paper aims to demonstrate the transformative potential of integrating low-cost IoT technologies with livestock farming to establish precision agriculture and enhance the prosperity of rural farming communities.

Authors - Samadhan Pujari, Hetvi Saroliya, Vedika Gawde, Ekansh Manral, Jalpa Mehta, Deepika Patil, Rashmi Malvankar
Abstract - Mortality prediction is crucial for public health, aiding resource allocation, policy-making, and preventive strategies. This study applies ARIMA and SARIMA models to analyze mortality trends in India (1990–2022) using data on infectious diseases such as Malaria, HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, as well as non-communicable diseases like Nutritional deficiencies and neonatal disorders. ARIMA [1, 3, 4] captures non-seasonal trends, while SARIMA, incorporating seasonality, proves more accurate. Implemented using Python libraries like pandas, stats models, and scikit-learn, their accuracy is assessed using Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Findings indicate that SARIMA outperforms ARIMA, emphasizing the role of seasonality in mortality patterns.[6,7,16] A significant decline in deaths from infectious diseases like Malaria and Measles is observed, attributed to public health initiatives, immunization programs, and improved healthcare facilities while neonatal and non-communicable diseases remain pressing concerns. Accurate data collection is essential for improving predictive modeling, and ARIMA/SARIMA provide critical insights for public health planning. Future research could integrate factors such as climate change, economic conditions, and machine learning techniques to refine forecasting models further. This study reinforces the significance of time series forecasting in public health decision-making and strategic healthcare interventions.

Authors - Aswin Sreerag, Meenakshy P, Akhil A, Anargha Ranjit, Anoop S. Babu
Abstract - The field of text-to-video generation is going through a transformation, by the advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning. AI-powered video generation models helps us in the conversion of textual descriptions into visual content, unlocking new possibilities in the fields of education, entertainment, and multimedia content creation. But the existing systems face challenges such as maintaining temporal coherence, such as ensuring smooth transitions, and correctly aligning video sequences with advanced textual inputs. This research combines Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to develop a high-quality, temporally consistent text-to-video generation framework. The system uses the Gemini model to change textual prompts into detailed and structured descriptions. These descriptions are initially given to the Stable Diffusion model to get the corresponding text-image before being input into a fine-tuned MoCoGAN model for video synthesis. The VATEX dataset, which has extensive video and text pairs, is the primary training resource, this ensures meaningful alignment between textual descriptions and generated visuals. Apart from that, the research also explores the DAMO ViLab which is a diffusion model, that operates without additional training, so that it provides a comparative analysis of different generative approaches. The results shows enhanced video smoothness, improved scene consistency, and stronger semantic alignment with the textual prompts. This work advances text-to-video generation by addressing key limitations, using AI driven storytelling and visualization applications.

Abstract - Everyone in the current world hopes that his/her personal information won’t be revealed in any way. Security insurance is essential for protecting personal information from prying eyes. The information may be extensive, and it is important to minimize risk and ensure sensitive information is protected. This analysis addresses the drawbacks of previous customized security and other anonymization techniques by implementing a progressive modified protection saving technique. The core of the suggested technique is composed of two main components. Two additional states that are used in the report table but are hidden in the primary segment are sensitive data and fragile weight. The Fragile Data (DI) of the record holder determines whether the mystery should be retained or, conversely, whether it should be disclosed. Sensitive weight (DW) illustrates how brittle a characteristic's value is in comparison to the others. The following section discusses the Recurrence Circulation Block (FDB) and Semi Identifier Dispersion Block (QIDB), two other portrayals used for anonymization. Exploratory findings show that the suggested framework performs faster and loses less information than existing approaches.

Smart Ingredient Tracker: Product Safety and Allergy Detection Application
Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:30pm IST
Authors - Manas Tiwari, Rohit Sharma, Nyasa Singh, Sandhya Avasthi
Abstract - Although packaged foods are generally considered safe and hygienic, many consumers are unaware of the additives they contain, which can pose serious health risks. This lack of awareness has contributed to a rise in health issues such as allergies, asthma, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses. To address this problem, a mobile application is proposed that helps users make healthier food choices by analyzing packaged food ingredients. The application enables users to scan or upload images of ingredient labels, utilizing image preprocessing techniques (grayscale conversion, Gaussian blur) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract the ingredients. Users can also input personal health conditions like diabetes, asthma, or allergies, allowing the system to tailor its analysis. By referencing a comprehensive database such as OpenFoodFacts, the application provides immediate health-related insights on the detected ingredients. For ease of understanding, ingredients are classified using a color-coded system: red for highly harmful substances, orange for moderately harmful ones to be consumed in moderation, and green for safe ingredients. This approach empowers consumers to make informed, health-conscious decisions regarding packaged food consumption.

A Vision Based Blind Spot Warning System For Autonomous Driving
Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:30pm IST
Authors - Harshit Kadam, V Harshavardhan, Shrigouri S G, Bhavana Gadagin, Nalini Iyer, Prabha Nissimagoudar
Abstract - One of the key challenges for blind spot detection systems is the ability to detect and track objects in irregularly shaped regions. This problem becomes much more severe in addition to considering different vehicle velocities, motions due to other objects, and many different environmental conditions. Ordinary systems have fixed parameters for operating conditions, which either are slow or may not adapt to changeable driving scenarios. The proposed solution is an adaptive continuous monitoring approach that provides the defined polygons with the ability to report on any encroachments while giving a proximity risk based on context data. This real-time adaptability allows the system to provide accurate and timely notifications to the driver, thereby increasing the safety of critical events such as lane changes, parking maneuvers, or heavy traffic situations where blind spot threats are most prevalent. Initial results show that this adaptable system can outperform traditional precision and time response methods, improving overall safety while driving.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:30pm IST
Authors - Sharim Iqbal, Purnima Ahirao, Deepti Patole
Abstract - QR code payment systems have become increasingly popular thanks to their speed, simplicity, and convenience. However, as their usage grows, so do concerns around security—issues like tampering, spoofing, and man-in-the-middle attacks are becoming more common. To address these vulnerabilities, this paper introduces a novel approach to securing QR-based transactions using visual cryptography. Visual cryptography works by splitting an image into multiple shares, which individually reveal nothing but can reconstruct the original image when overlaid—without the need for complex decryption algorithms. This research proposes a secure QR payment system that leverages visual cryptography to enhance data integrity, prevent fraud, and strengthen the overall security of mobile payments. The study covers current security challenges, outlines the proposed system architecture, implementation details, and evaluates its performance.

Authors - A.Akshaya, G.Veera yasaswini, P.Akshith, K.Mahimanusha, M.TanviSahasra, Sushmarani
Abstract - Sentiment analysis is among the primary natural language processing (NLP) tasks and is widely utilized for extracting emotions and sentiments from text corpora. This paper proposes a comprehensive sentiment analysis approach for movie reviews based on Word2Vec, TextBlob, VADER, and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU). Word2Vec is employed for word embeddings to extract semantic word relationships for improved feature representation. TextBlob and VADER are implemented as lexicon-based sentiment analysis tools, for which TextBlob is interested in polarity and subjectivity and VADER is engineered for short texts with clear-cut sentiment indications. Besides, deep learning architecture in the form of GRU is employed for extracting long dependencies and context associations between words of text corpora for enhanced sentiment classification. Methods are experimented and contrasted on the basis of a benchmark IMDB dataset with reference to accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. Experimental findings substantiate that sentiment handling by deep learning-based approaches, i.e., GRU via Word2Vec embeddings, is better than traditional lexicon based approaches. The work provides insights to NLP-based opinion mining researchers and practitioners regarding the merit of utilizing hybrid approaches towards sentiment classification.

Abstract - The proposed work aims to present a novel framework to classify the oral diseases through multimodal data consisting of images and symptoms. The outcome of the work helps towards early diagnosis of oral diseases. Oral diseases are neglected by most people in the initial stages due to lack of awareness, accessibility, and availability of dental care. Early diagnosis of oral disease is necessary, and early research focused on either the image of the affected area or just the textual description (symptom) to predict the illness; both are essential. The study employs multimodal approach and utilizes an image dataset comprising seven categories of affected areas, sourced from Kaggle. Additionally, a textual symptoms dataset was developed, consisting of 150 combinations for each illness. Confidence scores of both the model (image-classifier model and symptom-based illness prediction model) with the true label, a new dataset is generated and it is trained with logistic regression to get the final predicted class. Image classifier model achieved 81% of accuracy whereas symptom-based model 97%, resulting in final multimodal accuracy of surpassing both the model accuracies.

Abstract - Sentiment analysis is a vital task in NLP. That identifies the emotions in the text. Many studies concentrate only on the English language. There is an insufficient resource in Kannada language emotion analysis. This paper examines the sentiment in Kannada text using a manually prepared dataset. The datasets are divided into three classes positive, negative, and neutral. The processing techniques like context cleaning, tokenization, and sequence padding are used. The model uses RNN-LSTM which is efficient in handling the sequential data. The embedding layer is used to represent the words, the LSTM layer is used to get the context of the sentence, the Dropout layer is used to reduce the over fitting of the model and the dense layer is used to classify the sentiments into categories. The effectiveness of the model was measured using evaluation metrics like precision, recall and f1 score. By predicting sentiments for Kannada text, the paper also exhibits practical use of the model. This study demonstrates that LSTM-based models work well for sentiment analysis in Kannada. It also emphasizes the importance of creating and using manual datasets for low resource languages. The findings would be helpful to further research, and the out-comes can be directly applied in many areas, including social media monitoring, customer feedback analysis, and regional language processing.

Abstract - The accelerating proliferation of electronic devices has led to a surge in electronic waste (e-waste), presenting a significant environmental and resource management challenge. Conventional e-waste disposal practices are inadequate, often resulting in the release of hazardous substances and the loss of valuable materials. This paper explores a sustainable framework for e-waste reduction by leveraging advancements in power electronics and promoting standardization across electronic design and manufacturing. Key areas of focus include the adoption of fixed-type ports for power and data transfer, implementation of mandatory certification and testing standards for electronic components, and the design of modular and fixed PCBs to facilitate component reuse. Emphasis is placed on developing universal and multipoint-compatible components, particularly in the context of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, where interoperability can significantly reduce hardware redundancy. The integration of circuit protection mechanisms is proposed as a means to extend product lifespan and minimize failure-induced waste. Furthermore, strategies for the reuse and remanufacturing of components are examined as critical elements of a circular economy. By combining technical, regulatory, and design-driven approaches, this study outlines a comprehensive pathway toward reducing the environmental footprint of electronics and fostering sustainable innovation in power electronics.

Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:30pm IST
Authors - Ayush Kayasth, Vrund Raval, Keren Khambhata, Nirali Nanavati
Abstract - India leads the world in textile production and exports, but it also faces an increasing environmental problem: the country produces about 7,800 kilotons of textile waste a year, or 8.5% of the world's total. Even with dispersed efforts at recycling and reuse, progress is still hampered by the lack of a centralized, digitalized infrastructure for managing textile waste. In order to reduce waste in the Indian textile industry, our study proposes TextileLoop, a mobile application based on the ideas of the circular economy. The research employs a qualitative methodology, with focus group discussions conducted among key stakeholders in Surat India’s leading textile hub. These conversations uncovered important issues, such as small buyer networks, reliance on offline trade, and traditional players' reluctance to adopt new technologies. The results served as a guide for creating Textile Loop, a B2B platform with an MVC architecture developed with Flutter and Appwrite. In addition to providing educational materials and a collaborative environment for industry stakeholders, the application makes it easier to exchange excess textiles, faulty goods, and used machinery. Its integrated approach, which combines digital infrastructure with circular economy strategies, is what makes it innovative and the first circular economy based platform in India. Our platform aims to scale to a B2C and C2C model, allowing for greater engagement. With implications for both industry and policy, this work offers a workable plan for converting India's textile sector into a circular and sustainable ecosystem.

Abstract - Fraud detection is a critical challenge in financial transactions, requiring advanced machine learning models to distinguish between genuine and fraudulent activities. This project focuses on LSTMbased fraud detection, leveraging historical transaction data to identify suspicious patterns. The model processes multiple attributes, including transaction amount, category, user job type, geolocation, and time-based parameters, to assess fraud risk. In addition to the LSTM model, we conducted single-attribute fraud analysis using various models, evaluating their individual impact on fraud detection. This helped determine the most influential features in predicting fraudulent transactions. The system is integrated into a web-based application built with React and Flask, allowing users to input transaction details and receive a fraud score in real-time. The backend ensures efficient data preprocessing using feature scaling and categorical encoding, aligning new transactions with the trained model’s feature space. Through extensive testing with high-risk and low-risk transaction scenarios, the system demonstrates its ability to detect fraudulent transactions with high accuracy, making it a valuable tool for financial security. . . .

Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:30pm IST
Authors - Swati Suman, Sumit Ray, Ajay Kumar Prusty, Umesha C, Girish Prasad Rath, Sabyasachi Patnaik, Ankita Priyadarshini, Swagat Shubhadarshi, Pavan Kumar Pandey, Lalithamma M
Abstract - Climate change has a significant influence on agriculture, affecting developing nations' food security and financial condition. Thus, the use of Digital Twins, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) may play an important role in transforming agriculture that is data-enabled in real time for crop development, high productivity, or climate mitigation. These technologies would aid in predicting drought start periods, optimizing irrigation scheduling to react to any specific climatic shift, and driving crop rotations in a given area. To power climate-resilient farming development, AI and IoT must be combined, resulting in DTs. This technology incorporates agricultural offices, animal monitoring, crop harvests, crop protection, and a DT for predictive maintenance purposes. AI is transforming agriculture by analyzing large volumes of data to forecast climate change consequences. Precision agriculture, a key AI tool, uses micro-localized applications based on syntactic sensory data, drones, and satellite data. Smart agriculture uses IoT, AI, Big Data analytics, and DTs to gather, integrate, and analyze data from various sources. AI-powered models can forecast future weather patterns, insect infestations, and disease outbreaks, enabling earlier intervention and higher output. These insights enable improved resource allocation, agricultural practice optimization, and enhanced farm output in the face of climate change and hence making the DT the possible game changer in the field of agriculture while keeping sustainability as one of its important cornerstones.

Hierarchical Clustering of States with Crime against Children
Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:30pm IST
Authors - Sreelasya Changalasetty, Lalitha Saroja Thota, Seshagiri Rao Kandukuri, Suresh Babu Changalasetty, Ahmed Said Badawy, Wade Ghribi, Sajid Ali Khan, Syed Asif Basha, Firdouse Banu
Abstract - Child-related criminal offenses are amongst the utmost heinous, targeting the vulnerable youth of the society. These crimes include physical & sexual abuse of children, child labor, child trafficking, cyberbullying etc. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that up to 1 billion crimes against children have occurred globally. In India alone, more than 350 such crimes are reported each day. This study focuses on identifying crime hotspots related to children in India using hierarchical clustering, a machine learning technique. The research utilized crime data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) India for 2016–2020, alongside state-wise child population estimates, to group states according to the gravity of offenses committed against children. The data was pre-processed, normalized, and analyzed using KNIME software, which applied a bottom-up hierarchical clustering approach to create a dendrogram for visualizing crime clusters. The results revealed three category Indian states of crime zones in India: high, medium, and low. Delhi state was identified as the primary hotspot with a very high crime rate, followed by 17 states in the medium-risk category, and 12 states in the low-risk category. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions and enhanced child protection policies, especially in Delhi. The study illustrates how hierarchical clustering can be effectively applied to criminology for identifying high-risk areas and informing policy decisions. Future research may include the use of localized data and exploration of other clustering algorithms to refine and improve crime analysis and prevention strategies.

Phishing URL Detection: A Comprehensive Survey of Machine Learning Approaches
Tuesday August 25, 2026 3:30pm - 5:30pm IST
Authors - G. B. Sambare, Gauri Pawar, Soham Vhanamane, Tejas Sonar, Omkar Gouroji
Abstract - Phishing, a deceptive practice aimed at acquiring sensitive information through fraudulent websites mimicking legitimate ones, remains a significant cybersecurity threat. This paper presents a survey of machine learning (ML) algorithms applied for the detection of phishing URLs. We explore various feature categories derived from URL structure, domain characteristics, and HTML/JavaScript content. In particular, the characteristics of interest involve address-bar-based features (i.e., URL length, redirection patterns, existence of IP addresses), domain-based features (e.g., DNS records, website age, web traffic), and HTML/JavaScript-based features (e.g., iframe redirects, disabling the right click). The accuracy of a variety of classification methods, namely Decision Tree, Random Forest, XGBoost, and Support Vector Machines (SVM), is covered. By our results as well as available literature, we point out the effectiveness of XGBoost, which, in our testing, reached a comparatively high value of 86.8% accuracy and exhibited its prowess as a solid detector of phishing URLs. This paper offers some vision into the benefits and shortcomings different machine learning approaches are for phishing assaults.
