MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541134383 A) filed by Ifet College Of Engineering, Viluppuram, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 31, 2025, for 'community-harm aware bot detection system for tamil-english code-mixed health misinformation.'
Inventor(s) include Rosario Gilmary; Mrs. N. Manvizhi; Ms. Anandha Jothi; and Mrs. M. Ishwarya.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a community-harm aware bot detection system for identifying health misinformation in Tamil-English code-mixed digital content. The system comprises a data ingestion interface [102], a preprocessing module [104], an Indic prosody feature extraction module [106] to extract syllable timing and rhythm indicators, and a code-mix rhythm profiling module [108] to compute language switching placement and frequency. A multilingual classifier [110] trained on regional health misinformation datasets classifies content and/or originating accounts as suspicious or non-suspicious based on the extracted prosody and code-mix rhythm features. A community-harm scoring module [112] analyzes propagation through tightly knit local clusters and identifies disproportionate influence on vulnerable populations. A bot/network identification module [114] generates a bot detection output, and an output interface [116] provides the output for monitoring and community protection, using memory [118]."
