Dr. Srinivas PYKL — Co-Founder
As a distinguished academic and researcher at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, I am passionate about advancing the frontiers of computer science, particularly in the domains of Machine Learning, Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Data Mining, and Sentiment Analysis. With a robust publication record and a commitment to cutting-edge research, I strive to contribute significantly to these fields. Key Research Contributions: 1. Combating Misinformation: - Co-authored seminal works like "Fighting an Infodemic: COVID-19 Fake News Dataset" and "Overview of Constraint 2021 Shared Tasks," aiming to address misinformation during critical times. 2. Sentiment Analysis and NLP: - Contributed to pivotal studies such as "Semeval-2020 Task 9" and "Text Normalization of Code Mix," advancing understanding in sentiment analysis and multilingual NLP. 3. Aggression and Hostility Detection: - Employed advanced techniques in studies like "Aggression and Misogyny Detection Using BERT" to detect and mitigate online hostility. 4. Social Network Analysis: - Explored psycho-sociological facets in social networks, as evidenced by contributions like "Understanding the Psycho-Sociological Facets of Homophily." PhD Research: My doctoral research focuses on understanding the psycho-sociological facets of hate speech and fake news diffusion in social networks. By analyzing user behavior dimensions such as personality traits, values & ethics, and the dark side of personality, I aim to develop models for predicting the spread of hate content and fake news. Through empirical analyses, I have uncovered key insights into the correlation between human behavioral traits and online hateful behavior, contributing to the development of more effective detection and mitigation strategies. My goal is to continue pushing the boundaries of research in Machine Learning, NLP, and Data Mining, while addressing real-world challenges and making meaningful contributions to academia and society.
