EvoquerBot: A multimedia chatbot leveraging synthetic data for cross-domain assistance

Published in Amazon Science, 2023

EvoquerBot, developed for the TaskBot challenge, is a multimedia chatbot designed to assist users in completing cooking and DIY tasks within a single session. The bot leverages a coordinated orchestration of submodules for intent classification, task recommendation, task description, and step navigation. This paper addresses the challenges of short development and model training time, data quality in both NLP and multimedia sectors, multimedia response handling, and tailoring the conversation flow to domain-specific user experiences…

Privacy-Preserving Live Video Analytics for Drones via Edge Computing

Published in Applied Sciences, 2024

The use of lightweight drones has surged in recent years across both personal and commercial applications, necessitating the ability to conduct live video analytics on drones with limited computational resources. While edge computing offers a solution to the throughput bottleneck, it also opens the door to potential privacy invasions by exposing sensitive visual data to risks. In this work, we present a lightweight, privacy-preserving framework designed for real-time video analytics. By integrating a novel split-model architecture tailored for distributed deep learning through edge computing, our approach strikes a balance between operational efficiency and privacy. We provide comprehensive evaluations on privacy, object detection, latency, bandwidth usage, and object-tracking performance for our proposed privacy-preserving model.

Prompting Forgetting: Unlearning in GANs via Textual Guidance

Published in arXiv (Preprint), 2025

State-of-the-art generative models exhibit powerful image-generation capabilities, introducing various ethical and legal challenges to service providers hosting these models. Consequently, Content Removal Techniques (CRTs) have emerged as a growing area of research to control outputs without full-scale retraining. Recent work has explored the use of Machine Unlearning in generative models to address content removal. However, the focus of such research has been on diffusion models, and unlearning in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) has remained largely unexplored. We address this gap by proposing Text-to-Unlearn, a novel framework that selectively unlearns concepts from pre-trained GANs using only text prompts, enabling feature unlearning, identity unlearning, and fine-grained tasks like expression and multi-attribute removal in models trained on human faces. Leveraging natural language descriptions, our approach guides the unlearning process without requiring additional datasets or supervised fine-tuning, offering a scalable and efficient solution…
