Cyber informatics

We design models for detecting and mitigating various cybercrimes on online social media, including the spread of fake news, misinformation, fraud activities, black-market driven collusion, hate and offensive speech, and cyberbullying. Our approach leverages advanced machine learning techniques to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of these models.

Conversational Dialogues

We regard various modules of a dialog system, such as intent classification, slot-filling, dialog-act classification, dialog management, and dialog generation, for both goal-oriented and generic conversational chatbots. Moreover, we inspect conversational dialogs for various supplementary tasks as well, e.g., speaker profiling, emotion-flip reasoning, etc.

Graph | Complex Networks

We study social, information, and scientific networks to explore various structural (community, network growth, cascade) and behavioral (influence, trust) properties of nodes and edges. Our research aims to understand the dynamics of these networks and how they evolve over time. We utilize advanced computational methods and data analytics to uncover hidden patterns within complex systems.

Multimodality

We study the interdisciplinary domain of speech and/or vision modalities with the textual processing for a number of traditional and recent natural language processing tasks such as summarization, opinion mining, emotion analysis, sarcasm detection, offensive post detection, etc. This holistic approach provides deeper insights and more effective solutions across a variety of applications.

Code-mixed and Low Resource Language Processing

We explore a wide range of natural language processing tasks in the vicinity of code-mixed and low-resource languages in Indian context. The prime objective is to facilitate the technology to a vast non-native English speakers.

4 Projects

AI for Mental Health

Our research is focused on the development and analysis of AI-based counseling methods. Our work encompasses a broad range of domains, including dialogue understanding, summarization, and generation, as well as conversational analysis. We are exploring multiple counseling conversational settings, such as one-to-one counseling, peer counseling, and virtual assistant-guided counseling.
