An Optimized Fitness-Based Enhanced ant Colony Optimization for Optimal Road Selection in Intelligent Heterogeneous Vehicular ad-hoc Networks Raghu Ramamoorthy, Reddi China Appala Naidu, Anitha Velu Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems, 2026 In Intelligent Heterogeneous Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (IH-VANETs), long urban roads with a high density of vehicles and a maximum number of road signals increase unpredictable delays in terms of long travel times and heavy traffic congestion. These unpredictable delays are exacerbated by the rapid increase in vehicle density and irregular traffic flow on roads with high traffic signals. To address this gap, an optimized fitness-based enhanced ant colony optimization (OF-EACO) for IH-VANETs is proposed. OF-EACO aims to find optimal, uncongested short roads with low vehicle density and fewer traffic signals, thereby providing shorter travel times for vehicles without traffic congestion and unpredictable delays. To achieve this goal, the novel road fitness function of the proposed OF-EACO assigns a high road fitness score to roads according to short length, low vehicle density, and low signal count to support quick travel of vehicles between two ends without delay and traffic congestion. OF-EACO's roulette wheel takes the road fitness scores of available roads as input and outputs the optimal road. The optimal road is rich in all aspects and is intended to reduce travel time through short and un crowded roads. A network simulator is used to simulate the proposed OF-EACO, existing vehicular multi-hop routing algorithm with intelligent transportation system (VMR-ITS), and improved distance-based ant colony optimization routing (IDBACOR).Simulation results of the proposed OF-EACO indicated that, due to the use of optimal roads, it was able to achieve significant improvements in terms of vehicle travel cost, road establishment time, convergence speed, road traffic congestion overhead, routing overhead, Computational overhead, Computational Complexity, Actual Wall Time Analysis, and Energy Consumption compared to VMR-ITS and IDBACOR.
Deep Reinforcement Learning from the Perspectives of Artificial Intelligence and Optimal Control J. Jesy Janet Kumari, S. Thangam, Raghu Ramamoorthy, Anitha Velu Climate Smart Agriculture, 2026 Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has become a viable representation learning technique in a range of machine learning (ML) courses, particularly in a reinforcement learning (RL) space, because of continuous technological breakthroughs addressed through artificial intelligence (AI). The recent trajectory has enabled the emergence of a novel technological domain known as DRL. When DRL agents needed to communicate in more complex, data-rich environments, the approach proved to be highly data-inefficient. The fundamental reason is the limited applicability of DRL techniques to a wide range of scenarios that correspond to connected tasks from an identical distribution. The application of a multitask instructional strategy might mitigate this challenge. This chapter presents an innovative, multitask, learning-based approach to enhance DRL agents operating in various semantically similar environments with comparable tasks. This section utilizes a global network that will enhance knowledge transmission among individual actor-critic models functioning in separate environments. Various agricultural challenges have been mitigated by applying AI technology, including diagnosing plant diseases, predicting crop yields, and identifying weeds. In contrast, not all AI models, such as DL and ML, exhibit comparable efficacy across a diverse array of agricultural datasets.

Evaluating Mobility Models for IH-VANETs: A Simulation-Based Analysis Raghu Ramamoorthy, Anitha Velu, C Valarmathi, M. Ananthi 2025 International Conference on Computing and Communication Technologies Iccct 2025, 2025 Intelligent Heterogeneous Vehicular ad hoc networks (IH-VANETs) are more dynamic due to the mobility of vehicles. Routing packets along efficient paths improves the efficiency of the routing schemes. Relying on efficient mobility models for traffic generation for real-time road scenarios is conducive to efficient routing. This work presents and evaluates the performance of various mobility models including the Random Waypoint Mobility Model (RWP), Intelligent Driver Model (IDM), Intelligent Driver Model-Intersection Management (IDM-IM), and Manhattan Mobility Model (MMM). The reactive protocol such as Dynamic Source-Routing (DSR) is used with mobility models to evaluate the efficiency in the form of Packet Loss Ratio (PLR), End-to-End Delay (EED), Throughput (T), Packet Delivery Rate (PDR), and Overhead of routing (OR). DSR and mobility models are implemented in Network Simulator (NS 2.35). Simulations show that utilizing real-time traffic with mobility models affects DSR performance in all aspects.
Competent Way to Publish Heterogeneous Satellite Data on Web Deploying Semantic Technologies Anitha Velu, Raghu Ramamoorthy, Manasa S M, Smitha J A 2025 International Conference on Computing and Communication Technologies Iccct 2025, 2025 One of the main concerns of academics and publishers is the dynamic role that information technologies play in the dissemination and distribution of satellite data online. Interpretation, interoperability, and scalability of sensor-generated heterogeneous data are crucial tasks. This can be addressed with the help of Semantic Web (SW), which has a vast number of unstructured items represented by linked data. Compression techniques help to create a more compact representation of the data, which can reduce processing over large amounts of data. This work proposes an effective C3-GCD method for publishing copious Geospatial Climate Data (GCD), which consists of three stages: Collect, Convert, and Compress. Stage I: Involves with collection of real-time data from Indian Meteorological Satellite along the southeastern coastal areas of India consisting 170 files of 648 MB with 12,82,000 records, Stage II: A machine-readable format, most likely Resource Description Framework (RDF), is derived out of the acquired heterogeneous data. Large RD F volumes result in difficulty of processing, inadequate administration, and limited scalability hence, Stage 111: A unique HDT+ compression strategy is developed by revisiting the state-of-art binary encoding. The proposed approach conserves approximately 78.96% of storage space with compression ratio of 5.67: 1 on average, allowing for the publication of copious amounts of data. Due to the proposed method's reduction of syntactic verbosity and data redundancy, any user can exchange, publish and analyze the data from anywhere open on web.
NLP-Driven Detection of Cyber-Bullying Comments in Instagram Social Network C. Valarmathi, Anitha Velu, A. Prasanth, Rajesh Kumar Dhanaraj Proceedings of 2025 4th International Conference on Computing and Information Technology Iccit 2025, 2025 People's attention towards usage of social media is growing continuously, particularly youngsters are paying special attention by means of advancing their professions and expanding network. Cyber-bullying, includes posting derogatory comments on other people's posts, fabricating an identity, and disseminating embarrassing photos or videos, is also on the rise on social media. Victims of cyber-bullying may result in low self-esteem, increased suicidal thoughts, and other negative emotions like anxiety, frustration, fury, or sadness of the person. Undoubtedly numerous calculations like Machine Learning (ML) methods have been utilized in recognizing cyber-bullying exercises which remain totally frozen. The primary focus of the proposed work is to integrate Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) information retrieval method with a Random Forest (RF) classifier. TF-IDF decreases the dimensionality of the dataset by turning textual data into numerical features and concentrating on informative words. RF classifier handles the words with high TF-IDF scores in a corpus and classifies the comments as “Low” and “High” depending on the severity flagged as potential indicators of bullying behavior. This framework develops software which automatically identifies and prevents hateful comments and hides them from the victim's page. Compared to other classifiers, RF adapts many linguistic patterns, manages copious data generated on social platform and handles imbalances in cyberbullying comments, particularly when paired with class weighting or sampling approaches. This work mainly focusses on Instagram social media page where it accomplishes 88% of accuracy, 0.89 of precision, 0.94 of recall and 0.91 of F-measure in detection of harmful words.
