Governments around the world – and  India in particular – are trying to build large data registries for effective delivery of a variety of public services. However, these efforts are often undermined due to serious concerns over privacy risks associated with collection and processing of personally identifiable information. While a rich set of special- purpose...Read More

India’s parliamentary election is the largest in the world, with 543 constituencies and well over 1 million voters per constituency on the average, and voting is conducted electronically since 2004. However, there is considerable doubt about the integrity of both the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) used by the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the...Read More

In collaboration with the radiology group at AIIMS, New Delhi, we investigate improved detection of breast cancer from mammograms in situations where the presentation is obscure and difficult. We also investigate using other auxiliary information to improve the accuracy of detection. In a one-off problem, we also addressed detection of Covid from chest X-Ray in...Read More

Utility mining has been emerging as an important area in data mining. While existing works on utility mining have primarily focused on the problem of finding high-utility itemsets from transactional databases, they implicitly assume that each item occupies only one slot. However, in many real-world scenarios, the number of slots consumed by different items typically...Read More

Can we use modern deep learning methods, to avoid the use of expensive hardware and computationally-expensive signal processing methods for object detection? One can train models on mini-Doppler maps, collected via software defined radios. One crucial idea is to try and operate in less crowded frequency ranges like 433 MHz, allowing us to use inexpensive...Read More
