Tech Stack
RESEARCH
Multimodal Deep Learning for Feature-Level Fusion in Automated Arecanut Quality Classification Using RGB and X-ray Imaging
Manvith Kumar Ullal, Shivasubrahmanya KC, Preran Rai, G. Nisha Bangera, Vidya Kolur, Duddela Sai Prashanth, Rakshith Bhandary, Priya Kamath
Designed a novel multimodal deep learning framework for automated arecanut quality classification by combining RGB surface images with X-ray imaging, enabling simultaneous analysis of external appearance and internal structural defects. The study systematically evaluated four multimodal learning paradigms and demonstrated the effectiveness of feature-level fusion for agricultural quality assessment.
Key Highlights
- Developed a multimodal AI pipeline integrating 11,123 RGB and 10,076 X-ray images for non-destructive quality grading.
- Evaluated four deep learning strategies: feature-level fusion, domain adaptation, multimodal learning, and ensemble learning.
- Achieved 99.80% classification accuracy and 99.81% Macro F1-score using an independent encoder feature-fusion architecture.
- Performed statistical validation using Stratified 5-Fold Cross Validation, paired t-tests, bootstrap testing, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.
An End-to-End Deep Learning Framework for Handwritten Tulu Lipi Recognition and AI-Assisted Script Learning
Manvith Kumar Ullal, Arshith, Preran Rai, Thushar, Rajeshwari R Shettigar
Proposed an AI-powered educational platform for preserving the Tulu language through handwritten character recognition and interactive script learning. The system combines a CNN-based recognition model with a Flask inference API and a React-based learning platform to provide real-time handwriting evaluation and learner feedback.
Key Highlights
- Expanded a handwritten Tulu dataset from 9,959 to approximately 30,000 images using advanced data augmentation techniques.
- Designed and trained a custom CNN-based handwriting recognition model integrated with a Flask REST API for real-time inference.
- Built an AI-assisted learning platform featuring handwriting evaluation, pronunciation support, learner progress tracking, and interactive feedback.
- Developed a modular architecture using React, Node.js, Flask, and TensorFlow for scalable deployment and real-time predictions.
An Explainable Federated Learning Framework for Privacy-Preserving Pneumonia Detection Using Chest X-ray Images
Arshith, Manvith Kumar Ullal, Preran Rai, Thushar, Rajeshwari R Shettigar
Proposed an explainable federated learning framework for privacy-preserving pneumonia detection from chest X-ray images. The framework combines an SE-enhanced DenseNet121 model with FedAvg and FedProx across three simulated hospital clients, while Grad-CAM provides visual explanations of model predictions and cross-dataset evaluation measures generalization.
Key Highlights
- Developed an SE-enhanced DenseNet121 model for privacy-preserving pneumonia detection using federated learning.
- Compared FedAvg and FedProx across three simulated hospital clients using the RSNA Pneumonia Detection Challenge dataset.
- Achieved 82.49% accuracy and 88.52% AUC with FedAvg, while FedProx achieved 82.16% accuracy and 88.63% AUC with higher recall of 77.27%.
- Evaluated cross-domain generalization on an independent Labeled Chest X-ray Images dataset, where FedProx achieved 70.51% accuracy, 54.62% recall, and 90.35% AUC.
- Applied Grad-CAM to provide visual explanations and verify whether the models focused on clinically relevant pulmonary regions.
