A LLM-Powered Approach for Generating Meeting Minutes from Audio Conversations
Accurate documentation of meetings is essential for effective communication, decision-making, and accountability across various settings, including corporate environments, academic discussions, research collaborations, project reviews, and multi-stakeholder forums. Manual note-taking is often error-prone and time-consuming, highlighting the need for automated solutions. This paper proposes an LLM-based approach for generating structured Minutes of Meeting (MoM) from audio recordings. The method begins with audio transcription using the Vosk model, followed by grammatical and punctuation recovery to enhance text readability. The preprocessing step cleans and segments the transcribed text. Named Entity Recognition (NER) is applied to identify relevant entities such as names, dates, and organizations. The method then segments the conversation into topical sections aligned with the meeting agenda. A Large Language Model (LLM), named OpenAI, has been used to produce abstractive summaries. An action item extraction module identifies tasks, responsible individuals, and deadlines. A speaker analysis component highlights principal participants in decision-making processes. The system organizes the final output into a structured format, such as JSON or PDF, for easy access and distribution. This end-to-end approach enhances the clarity, accessibility, and utility of meeting documentation, reducing manual effort and improving organizational productivity. 2025 IEEE. -

How Much Governance Is Too Much?: Framing Future Directions for State Involvement in Sustainable Dark Tourism
With the growing institutionalisation of dark tourism into national heritage discourses and tourism economies, the issue of what level of state intervention is most appropriate has become an urgent and critical point of discussion. Although the subjects of visitor motivations, site interpretation, and ethical dilemmas have been well covered in the existing literature, the role of government in dark tourism has not received sufficient attention. The chapter fills that gap by discussing the diversity of state interventions in dark tourism through a content analysis of pertinent literature. A conceptual framework is developed that indicates five key areas of intervention in dark tourism governance: cultural heritage policy, security and risk regulation, mobility control, heritage protection, and community engagement. These are connected to two clusters of intended governance outcomes: sociocultural goals such as peacebuilding and reconciliation, and experience-focused aims including ethical interpretation and visitor management. Instead of taking a normative stance on whether state involvement is inherently either excessive or insufficient, the chapter advocates for a more situated and reflexive approach. It emphasises the need to understand dark tourism governance as context-dependent, shaped by site-specific histories, political legitimacy, and the tension between memorialisation and commodification in practice. 2026 selection and editorial matter, Pawan Kumar, Gurmeet Singh, Vipin Nadda, Bindu Aggarwal and Ranjeet Verma. -

DKMI: Diversification ofWeb Image Search Using Knowledge Centric Machine Intelligence
Web Image Recommendation is quite important in the present-day owing to the large scale of the multimedia content on the World Wide Web (WWW) specifically images. Recommendation of the images that are highly pertinent to the query with diversified yet relevant query results is a challenge. In this paper the DKMI framework for web image recommendation has been proposed which is mainly focused on ontology alignment and knowledge pool derivation using standard crowd-sourced knowledge stores like Wikipedia and DBpedia. Apart from this the DKMI model encompasses differential classification of the same dataset using the GRU and SVM, which are two distinct differential classifiers at two different levels. GRU being a Deep Learning classifier and the SVM being a Machine Learning classifier, enhances the heterogeneity and diversity in the results. Semantic similarity computation using Cosine Similarity, PMI and SOC-PMI at several phases ensures strong relevance computation in the model. The DKMI model yields overall Precision of 97.62% with an accuracy of 98.36% along with the lowest FDR score of 0.03 and is much better than the other models that are considered to be the baseline models. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. -
