Abstract: Federated Learning (FL), was created by McMahan et al (14), has become of interest because it offers a decentralized machine learning framework for developing large scale ML models. This allows many users (or clients) to collaborate on training a shared model while retaining control of their own data. FL is ultimately designed to provide a solution to the conflict between the data demands of machine learning systems and the desire of individuals/companies to keep their personal and commercial data private. This paper is a review of the privacy and confidentiality aspects of Federated Learning. A critical review of the fundamental algorithms used in FL, possible attacks against FL systems, and the four primary techniques for enhancing privacy in FL; Differential Privacy (DP), Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC), Homomorphic Encryption (HE), and hardware based Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), is provided. We will review aggregation protocols, determine the strength of FL systems against poisoning and inference attacks, and compare various FL systems implemented in three industries; healthcare, mobile communication and finance. A detailed review of FL reveals research issues related to; statistical heterogeneity, communication overhead, system heterogeneity and fairness. Finally, this review presents a prioritized set of research objectives for the next ten years, with an emphasis on situating FL within the larger context of privacy-preserving ML and potential regulatory developments.

Abstract: The escalating cost of academic textbooks in India presents a significant financial burden to engineering students, many of whom purchase books for a single semester only to leave them unused thereafter. This paper presents ReBook, a full-stack, location-aware web platform that facilitates the buying, selling, and donation of second-hand academic books among students. The system employs Java Spring Boot for the backend REST API, MySQL 8.0 for persistent storage, and a JavaScript single-page application for the frontend. Key innovations include GPS-based distance sorting using the Haversine formula, WhatsApp seller integration, a pincode-level hyper-local search filter, and an AI-powered camera-based book condition detection module built on the Claude API (Anthropic). All ten planned feature modules were implemented and verified functional across Chrome, Firefox, and Android mobile browsers. ReBook directly addresses the affordability and sustainability challenges of academic publishing for students across India.

Abstract: In the modern banking environment, customer experience has become a critical factor influencing customer satisfaction, loyalty, and overall business performance. With the rapid advancement of digital technologies and increasing competition in the financial sector, banks are required to move beyond traditional service models and adopt customer-centric approaches. This study focuses on enhancing customer experience in the Indian banking sector through the application of business analytics and the development of a personalization framework. The primary objective of this research is to analyze how business analytics can be used to understand customer behavior and improve service delivery. The study also aims to identify customer expectations regarding personalized banking services and to examine the existing gaps in service quality. Primary data for the study was collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 50 respondents. The collected data was analyzed using simple statistical tools such as percentages and pie charts to derive meaningful insights. The findings of the study reveal that while customers are generally satisfied with banking services, there is a significant demand for personalized services. Most respondents expressed that banks do not fully understand their needs and expect more customized offerings. The study also highlights that digital banking, particularly mobile banking, is widely preferred due to its convenience and accessibility.

Abstract: The rising popularity of AI chatbots in the sphere of education is transforming the learning experience of children and the manner in which educators provide academic assistance. They offer personalized feedback and flexible assistance, interactive and interactive learning experiences, which can increase motivation and increase accessibility of learning. However, their growing incorporation into child,oriented education brings about myriad of moral, mental and safety issues. Other ethical concerns of the use of AI chatbot also feature in the paper as comprising academic dishonesty, unfairness and algorithm favoritism. It however, also researches a mental outlook on the excessive use of automatic reactions, and the loss of critical analytic faculties, creativity, and independent learning capability, in society. Finally, the paper concludes with security issues, which are the vulnerabilities of data security, misinformation and transparency in AI. The findings suggest that in the realm of digital learning, there is need to employ conscientious methods of AI technology to ensure the well,being of children is not jeopardized and this could be made possible through appropriate data protection, ethical practices and child-centered policies. Although the positive side of the application of AI chatbots in education is obvious, it is also important to define the way the latter should be applied in a responsible manner.

Abstract: The transformation of food consumption patterns has become a significant subject of study in the field of marketing and consumer behavior. This research investigates the shift in consumer preference from traditional staple grains such as rice and wheat to nutrient-rich millets in Coimbatore city. The study aims to analyze awareness levels, key influencing factors, and consumer purchasing behavior towards millet-based products. A descriptive research design has been adopted, with primary data collected from 100 respondents through structured questionnaires. The findings indicate that increasing health consciousness, rising incidence of lifestyle diseases, medical recommendations, and media influence are the primary drivers behind this shift. Consumers perceive millets as a healthier alternative due to their high fiber, mineral content, and low glycemic index. Despite growing acceptance, challenges such as pricing, limited accessibility, and lack of awareness in certain segments still persist. The study concludes that millets possess strong market potential and represent an emerging segment in the food industry. Strategic marketing, awareness campaigns, and supply chain improvements can further accelerate this transition

Abstract: Smart homes are swiftly evolving into intelligent, autonomous ecosystems that improve home comfort, security, and energy efficiency. The integration of intelligent sensors, aided by the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and sophisticated wireless communication protocols, is key to this change. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the types, functions, and applications of intelligent sensors in smart homes, including motion detection, energy management, indoor air quality monitoring, moisture and leak detection, and flame and dangerous gas detection. Edge/fog computing, cloud platforms, and federated learning technologies that enable intelligent sensing are rigorously studied, along with system-level architectures that support seamless automation. Despite the potential, issues such as data privacy, interoperability, system stability, and the limitations of low-cost sensors remain. This study emphasizes on future research approaches focused on robust security frameworks, decentralized intelligence via federated learning, and improved sensor accuracy, all of which aim to achieve scalable, resilient, and truly intelligent smart homes.
