  • A multimodal AI-enabled system using advanced visual transformer and data science approaches for early oral cancer detection
    Sahil Sharma, Geeta Kasana, Seema Wazarkar, Singara Singh Kasana
    Proceedings of SPIE the International Society for Optical Engineering, 2026
    Traditional research work focuses on solving the problem of detecting oral cancer and often relies on only visual data. Single-modality approaches are unable to fully capture the complex nature of the disease, which limits the performance of the diagnostic system in accuracy and reliability. To address this problem, a multimodal Artificial Intelligence (AI) system is proposed utilizing advanced visual transformers such as Data-efficient Image Transformer (DeiT) and Shifted Window Transformer (Swin) and data science approaches for visualization and data modeling that combine different types of data, such as images and clinical information to provide a more complete and optimal diagnostic system. This approach aims to improve the overall detection performance and make the system more useful in real-world healthcare settings.
  • Exploring Data Modalities and Advances in Related AI Technologies for Oral Cancer Detection
    Sahil Sharma, Seema Wazarkar, Geeta Kasana
    Iet Image Processing, 2025
    Oral cancer diagnosis represents a significant public health burden; late‐stage detection of oral cancer is a major issue for ineffective treatment. Multimodal approaches from artificial intelligence have emerged as a pretty promising approach to address this challenge. In this paper, a comprehensive review of recent studies of oral cancer detection across varied data modalities that utilise technologies such as computer vision, natural language processing, acoustics analysis, Internet of Things, and machine learning and Deep Learning (DL) is presented. Across the reviewed literature, unique datasets spanning imaging, histopathology, spectroscopy, and clinical text are identified and represented. Reported performance metrics vary by modality, such as image‐based DL methods, which achieved accuracies between 91% and 99% and area under the curve values up to 0.95, spectroscopy‐based approaches reported accuracies above 92%. These results highlight the diagnostic potential of varied data modalities for future research direction, and small, imbalanced datasets, lack of external validation, and personalisation are major concerns to be addressed.
  • A Novel Soft Deep Learning Technique to Enhance Fashion Image Retrieval from Text Query

    The necessity for robust text-to-image retrieval systems has been brought a focus due to the increasing demand for intellectual fashion support in digital wardrobes. In order to maintain semantic fidelity, the current experimental work studies a novel wardrobe retrieval system that allows users to look for specific fashion items using natural language queries like “black top” or “red jacket”. The two experiments are carried out. In the first, the Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) model from OpenAI works by converting text and images into 512-dimensional vectors and figuring out how similar they are cosine-wise. Although CLIP’s high-dimensional embeddings are good at capturing semantic alignment, they come with a hefty processing cost and could contain duplicate or irrelevant characteristics. To get around these restrictions, the other experiment combines CLIP features with Rough Set Theory (RST). RST reduces dimensionality while maintaining semantic fidelity using entropy-based feature selection. Based on similarity scores, this hybrid CLIP+RST model divides retrieved images into three groups: lower, upper boundary region, and outside upper approximation. Regardless of its relevance, this classification allows for multi-perspective retrieval to meet various user search thrusts and sustainable computing.

    Proceedings 2022 IEEE World Conference on Applied Intelligence and Computing Aic 2022, 2022
    Social image content analysis is one of the important tasks for fashion analysis. Use of proposed system in fashion industries will uplift their business as social visual perception is very useful for the decision making in fashion industries. It supports growth in business and helps in minimizing loss or provides prior knowledge of risks. Analysis of social content data is a challenging task due to the nature of social data. Social content data is unstructured and full of ambiguity. But, this source of data is very important because it keeps updating continuously so that current data is being available for analysis. There is a necessity of current data for applications related to fashion as fashion trends keep changing. Therefore, in this paper convolutional neural networks is applied along with our machine learning approaches to find optimal fashion analyzing approach where social media is utilized to predict fashion style. Deep learning approach with Softsign and Softplus function performed well.
  • Enhancing surface fault detection using machine learning for 3d printed products
    Vaibhav Kadam, Satish Kumar, Arunkumar Bongale, Seema Wazarkar, Pooja Kamat, Shruti Patil
    Applied System Innovation, 2021
    In the era of Industry 4.0, the idea of 3D printed products has gained momentum and is also proving to be beneficial in terms of financial and time efforts. These products are physically built layer-by-layer based on the digital Computer Aided Design (CAD) inputs. Nonetheless, 3D printed products are still subjected to defects due to variation in properties and structure, which leads to deterioration in the quality of printed products. Detection of these errors at each layer level of the product is of prime importance. This paper provides the methodology for layer-wise anomaly detection using an ensemble of machine learning algorithms and pre-trained models. The proposed combination is trained offline and implemented online for fault detection. The current work provides an experimental comparative study of different pre-trained models with machine learning algorithms for monitoring and fault detection in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). The results showed that the combination of the Alexnet and SVM algorithm has given the maximum accuracy. The proposed fault detection approach has low experimental and computing costs, which can easily be implemented for real-time fault detection.
  • Social image mining for fashion analysis and forecasting
    Seema Wazarkar, Bettahally N. Keshavamurthy
    Applied Soft Computing Journal, 2020
    Fashion industries need to be attentive towards the changing fashion and its upcoming market demands to grow their business, optimally. This paper describes research work involved in image mining for fashion analysis and forecasting using fashion-related images collected from the social network. A novel soft clustering technique is proposed for grouping the social fashion images. This technique is robust against uncertainty found in given images. The proposed clustering approach is compared with existing soft clustering approaches. It is found that the proposed approach performs well. Attributes of fashion items found in each cluster are analyzed through correlation, causal analysis, and fashion cycle visualization. Predictive models are applied to the clustered fashion items for style forecasting. A comparative study of predictive models is also done to find an optimal technique for various fashion items. As social visual perception is helpful for decision making, the proposed system is very useful in fashion industries to uplift their business.
