Aligning Graduate Attributes with Industrial Revolution 4.0 – Recommendations for Indian Technical Institutes
Thursday January 30, 2025 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Hemlata V. Gaikwad, Sushma S. Kulkarni
Abstract - The present article explores the dynamic changes in required graduate attributes to develop industrial revolution 4.0 (IR4) ready. The assurance of graduate attributes assumes more importance given the fact that only 20% of the engineers are employable for any job in the knowledge economy (NER, 2019). Indian Engineering institutes across India are facing pressure and striving hard to equip the graduates with the right set of attributes to enhance their employability. The authors examine the shifts of graduate attributes from industrial revolution I to IV to perceive the most important ones from employment perspective. Second, we recommend the strategies at multiple levels to develop the identified attributes by mapping them with program educational objectives and finally we argue that all these strategies must be aligned to strengthen outcomes based education and as a result prepare employable and environmentally sensitive graduates responsible for a sustainable future..

Abstract - IoT has brought significant changes in different aspect of the society, social-relational and economic life and how society interacts with environment and physical space. Starting from light switches, locks that open doors, self-driving cars, various bracelets that track a person’s health state, sensors in industries that control machines, the Internet of things brought us to the world of increased connectivity that is filled with various conveniences, effectiveness, and automation. However, this link has given a new level of added insecurity since this makes it easier for cybercriminals to get into systems, manipulate important services, and steal important information. Consequently, this research paper provides the analysis of the complex nature of IoT security and identifies the primary threats inherent in IoT devices and networks. Comparing these models, the outcome is also presented, according to which these vulnerabilities can lead to an organized attack on data and personal accounts that can encompass the theft of personal information, attack on organizational accounts, and disruption of infrastructure and utilities. Moreover, the paper presents material considering IoT security issues as complex would be an understatement, one having to do with its technical, non-standards, and dynamic nature. Analyzing such vulnerabilities and risks, this paper intends to clarify the significance of sound security measures and protective actions that must be put in place to reduce possible threats in the IoT sphere.

Enhancing Image Compression via Interval Arithmetic Vector Quantization and CNN
Thursday January 30, 2025 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Rohini Hongal, Rahil Sanadi, Supriya Katwe, Rajeshwari .M
Abstract - Image compression involves reducing digital image file sizes while keeping their quality intact. Interval arithmetic, a mathematical technique, deals with ranges of values rather than precise numbers, allowing for robust computations across various applications. Vector quantization is a data compression method that groups similar data points to represent data efficiently. This study attempts to create an advanced image reduction method by integrating Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Interval-Arithmetic Vector Quantization (IAVQ). The study also examines and validates the practical relevance of attribute preservation. In the compression stage, the trained CNN is employed to extract features from input images, and the interval-arithmetic-based quantization maps these features to the predefined quantization intervals, considering attributes like sum, difference, and product. The proposed framework involves two main stages: training and compression. During the training stage, a CNN is trained to learn feature representations that encapsulate important image characteristics such as contrast and luminance intensity. This project thoroughly examines Normal Compression and Interval Arithmetic Compression, with the latter displaying promising results. Notably, Interval Arithmetic Compression consistently yields superior outcomes in pixels per second, compression file size, and PSNR compared to normal compression techniques. The IAVQ method achieves nearly 20 per cent higher compression quality, reduces pixel count by 0.5 to 0.9 per second, lowers PSNR ratio by 0.7 to 2.3 dB, and saves 11 to 19 KB of storage compared to the standard method across all image types.”

Authors - Abdul Razzak R Yergatti, Prajwal Shiggavi, Mohammed Azharuddin, Suneeta V Boodihal
Abstract - Traditional defense solutions like intrusion detection and thorough packet inspection are not so accurate. These techniques include signature-based detection, which uses known patterns, and heuristic or behavioral analysis, which evaluates program behavior to detect suspect activities. The demand for more advanced and continuously innovative methods to combat malware, botnets, and other malicious activities is urgent. Machine Learning (ML) emerged as a promising approach due to increasing computing power and reduced costs, offering potential as either an alternative or complementary defense mechanism to enhance detection accuracy by learning from large datasets of known malware behaviors. This investigation delves into the capability of Machine Learning in detecting malicious malwares within a network. Initially, a thorough analysis of the Netflow datasets is conducted, resulting in the extraction of 22 distinct characteristics. Subsequently, a feature selection procedure is employed to compare all these characteristics against each other. Following this, five machine learning algorithms are assessed using a NetFlow dataset that encompasses typical botnets. The outcomes reveal that the Random Forest Classifier successfully identifies over 95% of the botnets in 8 out of the 13 scenarios, with detection rates exceeding 55% in the most challenging datasets.

Business Ethics: Impact of Globalization
Thursday January 30, 2025 12:15pm - 2:15pm IST
Authors - Ankit Aal, Priyanka Patel
Abstract - In today’s interconnected world, ignoring ethical decision-making can have dire consequences. As businesses expand and globalize, the pressure to cut corners and maximize profits can lead to severe ethical breaches. William C. Butcher, retired chairman of the Chase Manhattan Corporation, highlighted the growing recognition that ethics in business is not a luxury but a necessity. Rooted in the concept of “ethos,” the importance of ethics has evolved, especially as business practices have become more complex. Over the decades, unethical business behavior has left a significant mark: the 1960s were defined by social upheaval, the 1980s by rampant financial scandals, and the 1990s by the challenges of a newly globalized economy. However, the rapid growth of markets was paralleled by troubling issues such as the exploitation of child labor, environmental degradation, and product counterfeiting. The 21st century introduced even more sophisticated threats—cybercrimes, intellectual property theft, and workplace discrimination—placing companies at greater risk if they neglected ethical practices. Despite the increasing awareness of these challenges, many businesses still struggle to balance profit with principle. Those that fail to integrate ethics into their strategies risk damaging their reputation, alienating customers, and facing legal repercussions. On the other hand, companies that proactively embrace ethical standards benefit from increased trust, a loyal workforce, and sustainable profitability. As ethics become an integral part of strategic business planning, they act not only as a safeguard against malpractice but also as a catalyst for long-term success in the global marketplace.

Authors - Ruby Chanda, Rahul Dhaigude
Abstract - There is a need to map, analyse, and visually convey a product's environmental impact over its complete life cycle or a specific aspect of it, given the urgency with which climate change must be addressed. If "what-if" scenarios can be additionally supported this can accelerate decision making towards improved environmental outcomes. Practically such outcomes need to also understand the economic ramifications so the map needs to support a mix of environmental and operational efficiency metrics. This paper explores the adaptation of a leading commercial value stream mapping software (eVSM Mix) for this purpose. Value stream maps come from the Lean domain and provide a high level view of the activities required to provide customer value. The work involved has technical and marketing aspects tied to a new product introduction and to a new customer segment.

Abstract - Moisture content identification in soil is crucial for various applications in agriculture, construction, and environmental monitoring. Traditional methods for moisture detection often involve labor-intensive processes and specialized equipment which can be invasive, time-consuming, and expensive. This study explores use of spectrometry data, acquired through multispectral sensors using visible light and near-infrared (NIR) spectrum ranging from 400-1000nm, for rapid and accurate moisture identification in soil and sand samples. The sensors leverage on-chip filtering to integrate up to eight wavelength selective photodiodes into a compact 9x9mm array, facilitating the development of simpler and smaller optical devices. The neural network model compromises of input layer, one hidden layer, and an output layer, developed using Tensor-flow and Keras libraries. It was trained using the Adam optimizer and sparse categorical cross-entropy loss function for 35 epochs with a batch size of 16. Results indicate that the neural network model and appropriate classifiers can successfully classify soil moisture levels into 4 distinct categories based on given dataset, demonstrating its potential as a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional soil moisture measurement techniques.

Authors - Sheela S. J, Rajeshwari B. S, Harsha M, Subhash T. D, Tejas H. S, Thanmaya Ganesh C. S, Harsha S. M, Keerthana T. V
Abstract - One of the leading causes of death Globally cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). 2019 key Statistics on CVDs is as follows: Total Deaths: 17.9 million people, 32% of global deaths, 85% of CVD deaths which approximately 15.2 million deaths from heart attacks and strokes. Hence, early diagnosis plays a crucial role in reduction of heart related diseases. Usually, the healthcare professionals collect the initial cardiac data using their quintessential instrument called stethoscope. Traditionally, these stethoscopes have significant drawbacks such as weak sound enhancement and limited noise filtering capabilities. Moreover, the low frequency signals such as below 50 Hz may not be heard because of the variation in sensitivity of a human ear. Hence, the usage of conventional stethoscopes requires experienced medical practitioners. In order to overcome these limitations, it is necessary to develop a device which is more sophisticated than conventional stethoscopes. In this context, the proposed work aims in the development of digital stethoscope which has the capability of displaying heart and lungs sound separately. Further, the proposed digital stethoscope permits to document, convert and transmit heart and lungs sounds to dB range digitally thereby reducing unnecessary travelling to medical facilities. The proposed stethoscope results are compared and validated with conventional techniques.

Automated Polycystic Ovary Disease Diagnosis from Ultrasound Using Deep Convolutional Networks
Friday January 31, 2025 9:30am - 11:30am IST
Authors - Kamini Solanki, Nilay Vaidya, Jaimin Undavia, Jay Panchal
Abstract - Polycystic ovary disease (PCOD) is a condition in which the ovaries of women of childbearing age produce too many immature or partially mature eggs. As time passes, these eggs develop into cysts within the ovaries. These cysts can lead to enlargement of the ovaries and an elevated production of male hormones (androgens). Consequently, this hormonal imbalance can result in a range of issues like fertility challenges, irregular menstrual cycles, unanticipated weight gain, and various other health complications. The associated symptoms often exert a long-term impact on both the physical and mental well- being of affected women. Statistics indicate that approximately 34% of individuals facing PCOD also grapple with depressive symptoms, while almost 45% experience anxiety. The primary object of this proposed framework is to detect and classify PCOD disease from standard X-ray pictures with assistance of volume datasets using deep learning model. Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) significantly affects women's reproductive health, leading to various long-term complications. This work introduces a novel framework for automated PCOD detection using integrating Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with deep learning, applied to ultrasound imaging. Unlike traditional diagnostic methods, which rely on manual interpretation and are prone to subjectivity, the proposed system leverages the powerful feature extraction capabilities of CNNs to classify infected and non-infected ovaries with 100% accuracy. This high level of precision outperforms existing models and can be seamlessly integrated into clinical workflows for real-time diagnosis during sonography, facilitating early detection and improved fertility management. By focusing on a deep learning approach, this work provides a scalable, reliable, and automated solution for PCOD diagnosis, marking a significant advancement in the use of medical imaging with artificial intelligence.

Authors - Poornima E. Gundgurti, Shrinivasrao B. Kulkarni
Abstract - Latent fingerprints play a crucial role in forensic investigations, driven by both public demand and advancements in biometrics research. Despite substantial efforts in developing algorithms for latent fingerprint matching systems, numerous challenges persist. This study introduces a novel approach to latent fingerprint matching, addressing these limitations through hybrid optimization techniques. Recognizing latent fingerprints as pivotal evidence in law enforcement, our comprehensive method encompasses fingerprint pre-processing, feature extraction, and matching stages. The proposed latent fingerprint matching utilizes a novel approach named as, Randomization Gravity Search Forest algorithm (RGSFA). Acknowledging the shortcomings of traditional techniques, our method enhances convergence speed and performance evaluation by integrating weighted factors. Precision, recall, F-measure, and recognition rate serve as performance metrics. The proposed approach has a high recognition rate of 99.9% and is successful in identifying and matching latent fingerprints, furthering the development of biometric-based personal verification techniques in forensic science and law enforcement. Experimental analyses, using publicly accessible low-quality latent fingerprints from FVC-2004 datasets, demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms various state-of-the-art approaches.

Abstract - Plant diseases pose a significant threat to agricultural output, causing food insecurity and economic losses. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment and control. Traditional diagnosis methods are labor intensive, time-consuming, and require specialized knowledge, making them unsuitable for large scale use. This study presents a novel approach for classifying cassava leaf diseases using stacked convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The proposed model leverages pre-trained ResNet-18 features to enhance feature learning and classification accuracy. The dataset includes images of cassava leaves with various diseases, such as Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD), Cassava Green Mottle (CGM), Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB), and Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD). Our method begins with data preparation, including image augmentation to increase robustness and variability. The ResNet-18 model is then used to extract high-level features, which are then fed into a stacked CNN architecture made up of pooling layers, several convolutional layers, and non-linear activation functions. A fully connected layer is then used for classification. Experimental results demonstrate high accuracy in categorizing cassava leaf diseases. The proprietary stacked CNN architecture combined with pre-trained ResNet-18 features offers a significant improvement over conventional machine learning and image processing methods. This study advances precision agriculture by providing a scalable and effective method for early disease identification, enabling farmers to control diseases more accurately and promptly, thereby increasing crop yield. The findings point to the promise of deep learning techniques in agricultural applications and provide directions for further study to create more complex models for the classification and diagnosis of plant diseases.

Friday January 31, 2025 12:15pm - 2:15pm IST
Authors - Arvin Nooli, Preethi P
Abstract - Recognizing emotional states from electroencephalogram, or Electroencephalogram (EEG), signal data is challenging due to its large dimension and intricate spatial dependencies. Our project illustrates a novel approach to Electroencephalogram (EEG) data analysis in emotion recognition tasks that employ Dynamic Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (DGCNN). Our novel architecture takes advantage of the inherent graph structure of Electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes to effectively capture spatial relationships and dependencies. Our approach used a refined DGCNN model to process and classify the data into four primary emotional states- Happy, Sad, Fear, and Neutral, we configured the DGCNN with 20 input features per electrode, optimized across 62 electrodes, and utilized multi-layered graph convolutions. The model achieved an overall classification accuracy of 97%, with similarly high macro and weighted average scores for precision, recall, and F1-score, demonstrating its resilience and accuracy.

Authors - Olukayode Oki, Abayomi Agbeyangi, Jose Lukose
Abstract - Subsistence farming is an essential means of livelihood in numerous areas of Sub-Saharan Africa, with a significant segment of the population depending on it for food security. However, animal welfare in these agricultural systems encounters persistent challenges due to resource constraints and insufficient infrastructure. In recent years, technological integration has been seen as a viable answer to these difficulties by enhancing livestock monitoring, healthcare, and overall farm management. This study investigates the effects of technological integration on enhancing animal well-being, with an emphasis on a case study from Nxarhuni Village in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The study employs a random sampling method of 63 subsistence farmers to investigate the intricacies of technology adoption in rural areas, highlighting the necessity for informed strategies and sustainable agricultural practices. Both descriptive and regression analyses were employed to highlight the trends, relationships, and significant predictors of technology adoption. The descriptive analysis reveals that 56.6% of respondents had a positive perception of technology, even though challenges like animal health concerns, environmental conditions, and financial constraints persist. Regression analysis results indicate that socioeconomic status (coef = 1.4468, p = 0.059) and gender (coef = -1.1786, p = 0.062) are key predictors of technology adoption. The study recommends the need for specialised educational programs, improvement in infrastructure, and community engagement to support sustainable technology use and enhance animal care practices.

Voice Cloning and Avatar System
Friday January 31, 2025 3:00pm - 5:00pm IST
Authors - Dinesh Rajput, Prajwal Nimbone, Siddhesh Kasat, Mousami Munot, Rupesh Jaiswal
Abstract - We introduce a system based on neural networks that combines real-time avatar functionality with TTS synthesis. The which system can produce speech in the voices of various talkers, including ones that were not seen during training. To generate a speaker embedding from a brief reference voice sample, the system makes use of a unique encoder that was trained using a large volume of voice data. Using this speaker voice, the algorithm converts text into a mel-spectrogram graph, and a vocoder turns it into an audio waveform. Concurrently, the produced speech is synced with a three-dimensional avatar that produces equivalent lip motions in real time. By using this method, the encoder's learned speaker variability is transferred to the TTS job, enabling it to mimic genuine conversation in the voices of unseen speakers. On a web interface, precise lip syncing of speech with facial movements is ensured via the integration of the avatar system. We also demonstrate that The system's ability to adapt to novel voices is markedly improved by training the encoder on a diverse speaker dataset. In addition, The capacity of the model to generate unique voices that are distinct from those heard during training and retain smooth synchronization with the avatar's visual output is demonstrated by the use of random speaker embeddings, which further showcases the model's capacity to produce high-caliber, interactive voice cloning experiences.
