Few-shot and zero-shot Assamese hate speech detection: a comparative benchmark of large language models Basab Nath, Krishna Kant Pandey, Vinod Yadav, Phaneendra Varma Chintalapati Social Network Analysis and Mining, 2026 Hate speech detection remains a critical challenge for natural language processing (NLP), particularly in low-resource languages such as Assamese. Although supervised models have shown promise, their performance is often constrained by the scarcity of annotated data and complex linguistic phenomena, such as code-mixing. In this study, we systematically benchmark large language models (LLMs), including GPT-4, GPT-3.5, and the open-source Mistral-7B, in prompt-based zero-shot and few-shot configurations, alongside fine-tuned multilingual transformers such as IndicBERT and mBERT, for Assamese hate speech detection. We evaluate these models on an extended Assamese hate speech dataset that combines a publicly available Kaggle corpus with additional code-mixed and transliterated examples. Our results show that GPT-4 achieves a macro-F1 score of 0.870 (few-shot, \(k=5\) ), significantly outperforming previous best-reported models, such as fine-tuned mBERT (0.72 F1). GPT-3.5 and Mistral-7B also demonstrate strong performance (0.807 and 0.801 macro-F1, respectively), with Mistral offering a competitive open-source alternative that supports efficient local deployment. Notably, GPT-4 maintains robust performance across challenging code-mixed and Roman-script text, highlighting its superior cross-lingual adaptability. Error analysis reveals challenges in cultural nuance and subtle sarcasm, while statistical significance tests confirm consistent improvements.
Ai and IoT are no longer limited to high-tech labs but are improving nutrition-focused agricultural farming Madhav Dhakal, Minali Banerjee, Krishna Kant Pandey, Chandrabhan Seniya Discover Food, 2026 The growing demand for nutritionally rich food, driven by population growth, climate change, and greater awareness of diet-related health. This situation requires a shift in traditional agriculture, which was focused on yield rather than nutritional quality. Furthermore, the global food system is facing mounting burden from climate change, soil degradation, and supply chain disruptions. Therefore, this systematic review examines how emerging technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), can transform traditional farming techniques into nutrition-focused farming to meet global demands. Research and review papers on AI and IoT implementation were retrieved from Google Scholar, IEEE Explore, ScienceDirect, Springer, PubMed, Scopus and Taylor & Francis databases published between 2017 and 2025. We first examined the global market trends of AI and IoT-enabled technologies in the agriculture sector and then their implementation in agriculture parameter tracking, disease and pest forecasting, real-time monitoring of nutrients, biofortification, early warning systems for nutritional disruptions, and nutritional advisory for farmers. This systematic review highlights the importance of AI and IoT integration in automation, intelligent sensors and data-driven tools to foster sustainable farming, optimise resource utilisation, and scalability, leading to nutrition-sensitive agri-food. The adoption of AI and IoT is not merely a technological advancement but a pathway toward improving food quality while ensuring nutrition security and achieving sustainable agricultural goals (SDG 2, SDG 3 and SDG 9). The key challenges, including data privacy, limited digital access, and farmer adoption gaps, especially in developing countries, identified in this review, can be improved with good governance policies and research recommendations. The integration of advanced digital technologies with sustainable farming practices can render a solution for global challenges such as climate change, declining soil fertility, malnutrition, and food insecurity. Furthermore, this review provides directions for future research to develop nutrition-focused, resilient, and sustainable agricultural systems.
Multiple trajectory optimization and control of robotic agents using hybrid fuzzy embedded artificial intelligence technique for multi target problems Saroj Kumar, Krishna Kant Pandey, Dayal R. Parhi, Manoj Kumar Muni Scientific Reports, 2026 Wheeled robot is preferred for their ability to replace human efforts in performing tedious and complex tasks. To accomplish the goal of present global scenario like replacement of human effort and work on fixed automation, it is needed to target multi-objective problems in context of robotic path optimization and less time consumption. Path optimization and control over wheeled robots is very challenging and interesting part of robotic research. Here, Fuzzy logic and modified marine predator optimization algorithm are hybridized and implemented on mobile robots to fulfill real-time objectives of present scenario. In hybridization process, initially obstacle distances from robot location are fed into fuzzy-logic and interim output obtained from Fuzzy logic is again fed to marine predator optimization algorithm to obtain final output. A Petri-Net controller is added with proposed novel fuzzy- marine predator optimization algorithm that further optimizes the navigational parameters by avoiding inter-collision among robots in presence of moving obstacles. Simulation is performed through MATLAB software and the results are tested against real-time experiments under laboratory condition. Simulation and real-time experiments authenticate successful navigation of multiple robots by achieving their objectives. Furthermore, the proposed technique is tested against different AI techniques and existing paper. An average improvement of approximately 10% or more is observed in navigational parameters.
Enhanced terminal sliding mode control for gait exoskeleton device: experimental investigation and validation Jyotindra Narayan, Mohamed Abbas, Princy Randhawa, Krishna Kant Pandey, Santosha K. Dwivedy Scientific Reports, 2026 The design of pediatric lower-limb exoskeleton devices demands advanced control strategies that ensure safe, stable, and accurate real-time gait tracking despite model uncertainties and external disturbances. This study introduces an improved fast terminal sliding mode (IFTSM) control framework incorporating an adjustable exponential reaching law to enhance the reaching-phase dynamics of conventional terminal sliding mode schemes. The proposed formulation accelerates attraction to the sliding surface for large tracking errors while ensuring smoother finite-time convergence near equilibrium. Lyapunov-based analysis establishes finite-time stability and bounded tracking performance of the coupled subject-exoskeleton system. The controller is implemented on an existing pediatric lower-limb exoskeleton and evaluated under passive-assist operation with one healthy child (12 years, 40 kg, 132 cm) and one child with spastic cerebral palsy (12 years, 35 kg, 131 cm). Comparative experiments with multiple classical and advanced control schemes demonstrate superior real-time tracking behavior of the proposed IFTSM, with tracking error deviations relative to IFTSM on the order of 40-65% for conventional controllers and about 5-20% for advanced sliding-mode variants across the lower-limb joints, together with improved convergence characteristics and reduced cumulative control effort for the healthy child. Over a 25-day experimental protocol, consistent within-subject reductions in tracking error were observed for the CP-affected subject (37.54% hip, 49.47% knee, and 16.29% ankle), together with modest within-subject changes in joint kinematics and ∼10% increased alignment toward a healthy reference. These pilot-level results demonstrate the technical feasibility, robustness, and stable real-time performance of the proposed IFTSM framework for pediatric exoskeleton gait tracking, while broader statistical validation and functional outcome assessment remain topics for future investigation.
UniTriRob: a robust machine learning regression model for predicting lettuce yields in aeroponic vertical farming Gowtham Rajendiran, Jebakumar Rethnaraj, Shrikant Zade, Ramakrishna Guttula, Krishna Kant Pandey Scientific Reports, 2026 Aeroponic vertical tower farming is a cost-effective, sustainable method for optimizing the food crop- Lactuca Sativa (lettuce-a greeny leaf vegetable); yet accurate biomass prediction of the lettuce crop remains challenging due to the non-linear relationship between the climatic conditions and the variable lettuce growth parameters. To address this challenge, a robust machine learning model called UniTriRob regression model has been developed. This model primarily focuses on mitigating the effects of outliers and heteroskedastic errors across key growth-related parameters, including pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity, humidity, light intensity and growth. The experimental validation highlights the model’s capability with high R-squared value of 97.8386% and the minimized error rate of 0.46, that outperforms the conventional forecasting methods. Hence, the model presents a viable alternative for maximizing aeroponic lettuce production efficiency and increasing yield forecast accuracy, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.
Improving Bidirectional English–Assamese Neural Machine Translation with Word Embeddings and Transformer Models Basab Nath, Krishna Kant Pandey, Vinod Yadav, Prabhat Dixit International Journal of Networked and Distributed Computing, 2026 NMT for Assamese language remains challenging because of its morphological rich language and lack of parallel resources. The paper aims to study the effect of word embeddings, different neural architectures and bidirectional pre-training for enhancing bidirectional English–Assamese translation. Three embedding methdos (Word2Vec, GloVe and FastText) were evaluated within RNNs using GRU and LSTM architecture. FastText consistently yielded the highest BLEU scores among recurrent models, achieving 24.99 for Assamese–English and 24.65 for English–Assamese, owing to its ability to capture subword level information and handle rare word forms. To establish stronger baselines, we fine tuned Transformer-based models (MarianMT and mBART) on a 175,000-sentence parallel corpus and further enhanced mBART through a Bidirectional Training (BiT) phase to promote cross-lingual parameter sharing. The BiT-pretrained variant achieved the best performance, with BLEU scores of 28.93 (As–En) and 28.57 (En–As). Finally, we compared these systems against a zero-shot GPT baseline, which underperformed relative to the fine-tuned models, reaffirming the effectiveness of specialized training for low-resource translation. Human evaluation of fluency and adequacy supported these results, confirming that Transformer-based architectures with bidirectional pre-training remain the most effective solution for English–Assamese NMT.
