About

Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions. As a teacher I believe in developing strong relationships in order to establish a dynamic and highly effective learning environment.

My philosophy of education is that all students are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.

As a teacher I can help an undergraduate students to develop  the skills of information fluency: i.e. their ability to write and critically think about the concepts.  

My goal is to become a professor at a quality oriented university. I believe in adopting new techniques and technologies in the classroom teaching.

Pixort: A Novel Approach for Effective Photo Album Clustering

Authors: Cheryl L Mathias, Crystal F D’Souza, Job Alexander, Mariah S Hudson and Renuka Tantry

Publication Details: IOP Conf. Series: Materials Science and Engineering

DOI: 10.1088/1757-899X/1099/1/012015

Abstract: Retrieving digital records on the internet and capturing, uploading images on social media or other platforms has become such a notable part of one’s daily existence. Digital content and videos constitute majority of this ever-growing deluge of information. Major problems are faced by people on a daily basis when they have to manually scan large databases to search for particular images thereby exhausting valuable time and resources. To overcome this, Content Based Image Retrieval in addition to Emotion Detection must be performed to efficiently store and retrieve very specific images. An effective image clustering application should be capable
of accurately extracting images based on the given query image. It should also provide functionalities like Facial Detection and Recognition for customized usage and retrieval. In this study, texture-based feature extraction followed by the usage of a feed forward backpropagation neural network has been proposed for CBIR. For emotion detection, correlation has been proposed in addition to the Viola Jones algorithm which has been used for facial detection.

Implementation of a Virtual Assistant for a Grocery Store using Natural Language Understanding

Authors: Mr. Shawn Rahul D’Souza, Mr. Rajil Paloth, Mrs. Renuka Tantry

Publication Details: International Journal of Emerging Technology and Advanced Engineering Website: www.ijetae.com (ISSN 2250-2459, ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2018)

Abstract: As people are becoming more digitally adept to the world around them, they try to maximize their efficiency of finding solutions by using their personal devices. In this day and age, it boils down to the simple fact that there are more people who would be more inclined to use their device to answer their questions. Keeping this in mind, the paradigm has shifted from a simple text based query to a more conversationally adept user interface. With the onset of chatbots and conversational AIs taking the world by storm, it is safe to say that this concept will become one of the most trending features based on user responsiveness and data accountability. The Virtual Assistant for the Grocery Store was developed with the aim of implementing a conversational AI for the users to discover everything that they could ask for with respect to a single grocery store.

 

A Review On Medicare Consultancy Application Using IoT

Authors: Shreejith K, Likith K, Gaurav K U, Shrinidhi K Rao, Renuka Tantry

Publication Details: International Journal of Emerging Technology and Advanced Engineering Website: www.ijetae.com (ISSN 2250-2459, ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2018)

Abstract: It is fundamental right of human to get quality Health Care. Earlier days, people were unaware of the diseases they faced. They used the physical changes to determine the disease. But as the technology developed it also affected the Medical field. The methods of treatment got more effective. But still now a day’s people tend to ignore general diseases  because of their busy schedule. People use Google as their personal Medical consultant which most of the doctors don’t suggest. To overcome this small issue, we come up with an idea which creates a platform for the interaction between the doctor and patient using IoT.

 

Improving TORA Protocol using Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm 

Authors: Merril Roshini Mathias, Rayan Rahul D’Souza, Sanjana Bhat H., Savina Jassica Colaco, Renuka Tantry 

Publication Details: Advances in Computing 2017 7(2): 51-57 

DOI:  10.5923/j.ac.20170702.09

Abstract  A wireless ad hoc network (WANET) or MANET is a decentralized type of wireless network and it does not rely on a pre-existing infrastructure. Instead, each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes, so the determination of which nodes forward data is made dynamically on the basis of network connectivity and the routing algorithm in use. The Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) is an adaptive, distributed, loop-free routing protocol for multi-hop networks which has minimum overhead against topological changes. Quality of Service (QoS) support for MANET in TORA has become a challenging task due to its dynamic topology. This paper proposes QoS enabled Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm using Ant Colony Optimization called AntTORA. ACO algorithms have shown to be a good technique for developing routing algorithms for ad hoc networks. ACO based routing is an efficient routing scheme based on the behaviour of foraging ants. The collective behaviour of ants helps to find the shortest path from the nest to a food source, by deposition of a chemical substance called pheromone on the visited nodes. ACO technique is used in TORA protocol to optimize multiple QoS metrics like end-to-end delay, throughput, jitter and so on. The performance of TORA and AntTORA are analysed using network simulator-2. The results presented in the end also help the researchers to understand the differences between TORA and AntTORA, therefore to choose appropriate protocol for their research work. Our simulation study shows how this approach has significantly improved the performance of the ad hoc networks.
