    Covid-19 Fake News Detector using Hybrid Convolutional and Bi-LSTM Model
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Surendran, P.; Balamuralidhar, B.; Kambham, H.; Anand Kumar, M.
    Fake news is essentially incorrect and deceiving information presented to the public as news with the motive of tarnishing the reputations of individuals and organizations. In today's world, where we are so closely connected due to the internet, we see a boom in the development of social networking platforms and, thus, the amount of news circulated over the internet. We must keep in mind that fake news circulated on social media and other platforms can cause problems and false alarms in society. In some cases, false information can cause panic and have a dangerous effect on society and the people who believe it to be true. Along with the virus, the Covid-19 pandemic has also brought on distribution and spreading of misinformation. Claims of fake cures, wrong interpretations of government policies, false statistics, etc., bring about a need for a fact-checking system that keeps the circulating news in control. This work examines multiple models and builds an Artificial Intelligence system to detect Covid-19 fake news using a deep neural network. © 2021 IEEE.

    Hate Speech Detection Using Audio in Portuguese Language
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Tembe, L.A.; Anand Kumar, M.
    This study focuses on hate speech in Portuguese language using audio and introduces a novel methodology that integrates audio-to-text and self-image technologies to effectively tackle this problem. We utilize Machine Learning and Deep Learning models to differentiate between hate speech and normal speech. The research utilized a total of 200 datasets, which were categorized into hate speech and normal speech. These datasets were collected by me personally for this project. Four distinct models are presented in the analysis: LSTM, SVM, CNN, and Random Forest. The findings highlight the superior performance of the CNN model when applied to spectrogram data, achieving an accuracy rate of 90%. Conversely, the Random Forest model outperforms others when dealing with text data, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 73.1%. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

    Video summarization and captioning using dynamic mode decomposition for surveillance
    (Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2021) Radarapu, R.; Gopal, A.S.S.; Nh, M.; Anand Kumar, M.
    Video surveillance has become a major tool in security maintenance. But analyzing in a playback version to detect any motion or any sort of movements might be tedious work because only for a short length of the video there would be any motion. There would be a lot of time wasted in analyzing the video and also it is impossible to always find the accurate frame where the transition has occurred. So there is a need in obtaining a summary video that captures any changes/motion. With the advancements in image processing using OpenCV and deep learning, video summarization is no longer an impossible work. Captions are generated for the summarized videos using an encoder–decoder captioning model. With the help of large, well-labeled video data sets like common objects in context, Microsoft video description, video captioning is a feasible task. Encoder–decoder models are used extensively to extract text from visual features with the arrival of long short term memory (LSTM). Attention mechanism has been widely used on decoder for the work of video captioning. Keyframes are obtained from very long videos using methods like dynamic mode decomposition, an algorithm in fluid dynamics, OpenCV’s absdiff(). We propose these tools for motion detection and video/image captioning for very long videos which are common in video surveillance. © 2021, Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Computer Applications and Management.
