Misinformation Shield: AI Toolkit for Social Media Fact-Checking

Overview

Social media is a double-edged sword—while it connects us, it also floods our feeds with hate, sarcasm, and negativity. Misinformation Shield is our answer to this challenge. By blending NLP, reinforcement learning, and attention mechanisms (including bi-directional LSTM), this toolkit digs deep into social media content to distinguish genuine hate from sarcasm and plain negativity. The goal is to empower users with a clearer understanding of online discourse.

Key Features

  • Data Acquisition: Web scraping to collect relevant social media data.
  • Data Preprocessing: Robust cleaning and normalization of textual data.
  • Advanced Classification: Transformer-based models to accurately differentiate between factual and misleading content.
  • Explainability: Utilization of explainability techniques (e.g., SHAP values) to provide insights into model decisions.

Expected Outcomes

  • A modular, Python-based toolkit for misinformation detection.
  • Pretrained models ready for deployment.
  • A comprehensive API and documentation for community engagement and further development.

Technology Stack

  • Programming Language: Python
  • Libraries/Frameworks: Transformers, spaCy, scikit-learn
  • Additional Tools: Web scraping frameworks (Selenium or Beautiful Soup) and API development libraries
  • Web Development Tools: React.js/Next.js, HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Project Details

  • Difficulty: Medium to Hard
  • Estimated Timeline: 175 to 350 hours (depending on feature scope and complexity)

Reinforcement Learning-Based Visual Transformer for Adaptive Patch Sampling

Overview

What if a computer could learn to look at an image like a human—focusing only on the parts that truly matter? Our project does exactly that by merging a visual transformer with adaptive patch sampling. Instead of processing every pixel equally, the model zeroes in on key areas. An RL agent refines these choices over time, making the system increasingly efficient at recognizing and understanding complex scenes.

Technology Stack

  • PyTorch: Our go-to framework for deep learning model development.
  • Reinforcement Learning Libraries: Tools such as Stable Baselines3 or RLlib
  • Image Processing: OpenCV, PIL for image handling and augmentation.
  • Visualization & Monitoring: TensorBoard, Matplotlib
  • Experiment Tracking: Weights & Biases (W&B) or MLflow
  • Data Manipulation: NumPy, Pandas

Project Details

  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Estimated Timeline: Approximately 375 hours

Reinforcement Learning-Based Color Bot for Adaptive Fabric Design

Overview

Imagine a digital assistant for fabric designers that truly understands the art of color. Instead of offering generic palettes, our Color Bot dives into the details of fabric patterns and evolving trends. It combines the precision of Spiking Neural Networks with the adaptability of reinforcement learning and the sequential insights of LSTM models. The result? Personalized, dynamic color recommendations that keep up with the latest fashion trends and design nuances.

Technology Stack

  • PyTorch: For building SNNs, LSTMs, and RL agents.
  • Reinforcement Learning Libraries: Stable Baselines3 or RLlib
  • Neuromorphic Computing Frameworks: Nengo, BindsNET, or SpykeTorch
  • Image Processing: OpenCV, PIL
  • Visualization & Monitoring: TensorBoard, Matplotlib
  • Experiment Tracking: Weights & Biases (W&B) or MLflow
  • Data Manipulation: NumPy, Pandas

Project Details

  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Estimated Timeline: Approximately 375 hours

DAGFlow: A Lightweight DAG-Based Workflow Orchestration System

Overview

Think of DAGFlow as your personal conductor for orchestrating complex workflows. It uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) approach to manage tasks in data pipelines, ML processes, and CI/CD operations. Unlike bulky orchestration tools, DAGFlow is built to be lightweight and scalable—helping you define, execute, and monitor tasks effortlessly while keeping the process smooth and intuitive.

Technology Stack

  • Python: The primary language for the orchestration engine.
  • Flask/FastAPI: For building APIs to manage workflows.
  • Celery/RQ: For task scheduling and background execution.
  • Graph Algorithms: To implement efficient DAG scheduling.

  • Docker & Kubernetes: To support distributed task execution.
  • React.js or Vue.js: (Optional) For a user-friendly web dashboard.
  • Visualization & Monitoring Tools: TensorBoard or Matplotlib

Project Details

  • Difficulty: Medium to Hard
  • Estimated Timeline: Approximately 175 hours for the basic engine and API, extending to 350 hours for advanced features and UI integration.

Deliverables

  • DAG Execution Engine
  • Pipeline Definition API
  • Failure Handling and Logging
  • Basic Web UI
  • Documentation and Tutorials

AniMax: A Conversational Multi-Modal Animal Information Assistant

Overview

Our current animal info chatbot is pretty one-dimensional—it just fetches data from images without really talking back or remembering previous chats. AniMax is set to change that by turning it into a full-fledged conversational assistant. By combining advanced NLP with the existing image model and adding chat history, AniMax offers rich, interactive, and context-aware animal information. It's like having a knowledgeable friend who can show you visuals and explain details in a friendly conversation.
