Individuals has been engaging in video communication across the world in different languages. The decade saw the emergence of language translation using neural networks as well. With more data being generated in audio and visual forms, there has become a need and a challenge to analyse such information for many researchers from academia and industry. The availability of video chat corpora is limited as organizations protect user privacy and ensure data security. For this reason, an audio-visual communication system (VidALL) has been developed and audio-speeches were extracted. To understand human nature while answering a video call, an analysis was conducted where polarity and vocal intensity were considered as parameters. Simultaneously, a translation model using a neural approach was developed to translate English sentences to French. Simple RNN-based and Embedded-RNN bas...

In this paper, we compared the performance of different algorithms, first on an unpruned dataset and then on an iteratively pruned dataset. The goal was to understand whether an algorithm (say A) on an unpruned dataset performs better than another algorithm (say B), will algorithm B perform better on the pruned data or vice-versa. The dataset chosen for our analysis is a subset of the largest movie ratings database publicly available on the internet, IMDb [1]. The learning objective of the model was to predict the categorical rating of a movie among 5 bins: poor, average, good, very good, excellent. The results indicated that an algorithm that performed better on an unpruned dataset also performed better on a pruned dataset.

This work studies the durability of impact of verbs and adjectives on headlines and determine the factors which are responsible for its nature of influence on the social media. Each headline has been categorized into positive, negative or neutral based on its sentiment score. Initial results show that intensity of a sentiment nature is positively correlated with the social media impression. Additionally, verbs and adjectives show a relation with the sentiment scores

It is very difficult for the hearing-impaired people to communicate with the world. This project presents a solution that will not only automatically recognize the hand gestures but will also convert it into speech and text output so that impaired person can easily communicate with normal people. A camera attached to computer will capture images of hand and the contour feature extraction is used to recognize the hand gestures of the person. Based on the recognized gestures, the recorded soundtrack will be played.
