Funded Research Project

• Authentication Technique for TMIS: In TMIS, the sensitive medical data is stored via public network. The data is accessed by the doctors, medical staff, hospital, and patients for offering the medical services to the patients at remote location. In this research project, we target to present the new authentication technique to preserve the secrecy and privacy of data and users at the time of communication.Research funding sanctioned under EMEQ Scheme, SERB, India – Cost : 10,90,000/- rupees.

Research Project

• Breast Cancer Detection: The cancer in human body is increasing day-by-day and various kinds of cancers are identified that are need to be detected and proper treatment to be provided to cure. To help the medical doctor by detecting the cancer is the major objective of this research work. To do so, we adapted the various Deep Learning models such as CNN, RNN, LSTM to predict the presence of cancer in breast rather than applying traditional Machine Learning approach to bypass the hand engineered feature extraction process. Moreover, the breast cancer is also increasing in women’s and causing the deaths. So, the early or timely detection of breast cancer will help the doctor to diagnose the patient easily and efficiently.
• Fake News Detection: The objective of this research is to identify the Fake News contents over the internet to know the genuineness of the news. Now a days, so many fake news are posted in various social platforms to divert the peoples and society in large. So, we try to identify the fake news by using Deep learning models such as CNN, RNN and LSTM in combination. Moreover, we try to achieve more accurate result as compared to state-of-art methods.
• Skin Cancer Detection: Skin Cancer is caused due to uncontrolled growth of skin cells. The skin cancer is majorly classified as Melanoma and Non-Melanoma. Melanomaare usually brown or black as most melanoma cells make melanin and they are most dangerous among all types of skin cancer. Whereas, Non-Melanoma are most common skin cancers which mainly constitutes of Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Benign Keratosis, Melanocytic Nevi, Vascular Lesions, Dermatofibroma. About 8 out of 10 skin cancers are Basal CellCarcinomas. A study estimates more than 3 million non-melanoma and 132,000 melanoma skin cancer cases occur each year. It's estimated that the number of new melanoma cases diagnosed in 2019 will increase by 7.7 percent. The vast majority of melanomas are caused by the sun. In fact, one UK study found that about 86 percent of melanomas can be attributed to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and about 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The motivation for the worklies in the fact "Skin Cancers are highly curable if they detected at early stages". Basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, the two most common forms of skin cancer, are highly curable if detected early and treated properly. The five-year survival rate for people whose melanoma is detected and treated before it spreads to the lymph nodes is 99 percent. The objective of this project will be to develop a Deep Leaning based model to accurately classify the skin lesion image among seven skin cancer types: Melanoma, Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Benign Keratosis, Melanocytic Nevi, Vascular Lesions, Dermatofibroma. The work will employ the support of Transfer Learning, Data Augmentation, Automated Feature Extraction techniques to maximise the skin cancer classification accuracy.
• Textual Sentiment Analysis: We introduce a new approach to textual sentiment analysis. Till date the combination of Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) was not used to train the deep learning model for sentiment analysis. I chose to proceed with the same. This work mainly focuses on the use of LSTM and Bi-LSTM jointly to increase the accuracy of prediction. In this model, losses are minimised and accuracy is increased. Though the state-of-art accuracy is not reached, this model gives much more accuracy as compared to pure SVM model. This work also incorporates comparison between the performance metrics in new model with performance metrics of SVM model at the end. This model is trained on the IMDB movie review dataset which contain positive and negative reviews.

Research Project

• Alcoholism Detection using EEG signals (Ongoing): Excessive consumption of alcohol not only affects the neurological system but also leads to several other issues such as high blood pressure, liver disorder, cognitive and physical problems, etc. As per the global status report on alcohol use, released by WHO, almost 1 in 20 deaths are due to excessive consumption of alcohol and leads to more than 5% of total global diseases. Taking into account the hazardous effects of alcoholism, it is essential to develop a way to distinguish alcoholic people from normal subjects and recognize the symptoms at an early stage. We have developed a novel three-phase approach to detect alcoholism using weighted visibility graph algorithm and complex network features. The goal of this work is to analyze how the weights on the links in visibility graph help to distinguish EEG signals of alcoholic and controlled drinkers.
