The prevalence of misogynistic content online poses significant challenges to ensuring a safe and inclusive digital space for women. This study presents a pipeline to classify online memes as misogynistic or non misogynistic. The pipeline combines contextual image embeddings generated using the Vision Transformer Encoder (ViTE) model with text embeddings extracted from the memes using ModernBERT. These multimodal embeddings were fused and trained using three advanced types of Kolmogorov Artificial Networks (KAN): PyKAN, FastKAN, and Chebyshev KAN. The models were evaluated based on their F1 scores, demonstrating their effectiveness in addressing this issue. This research marks an important step towards reducing offensive online content, promoting safer and more respectful interactions in the digital world.

In this paper we propose a novel approach to sentiment analysis in languages with mixed Dravidian codes, specifically Tamil-English and Tulu-English social media text. We introduce an innovative hybrid deep learning architecture that uniquely combines convolutional and recurrent neural networks to effectively capture both local patterns and long-term dependencies in code-mixed text. Our model addresses critical challenges in low-resource language processing through a comprehensive preprocessing pipeline and specialized handling of class imbalance and out-of-vocabulary words. Evaluated on a substantial dataset of social media comments, our approach achieved competitive macro F1 scores of 0.3357 for Tamil (ranked 18) and 0.3628 for Tulu (ranked 13)

This research focuses on misogyny detection in Dravidian languages using multimodal techniques. It leverages advanced machine learning models, including Vision Transformers (ViT) for image analysis and BERT-based transformers for text processing. The study highlights the challenges of working with regional datasets and addresses these with innovative preprocessing and model training strategies. The evaluation reveals significant improvements in detection accuracy, showcasing the potential of multimodal approaches in combating online abuse in underrepresented languages.
