Tawazun

Tawazun is an energy grid simulation initiative designed to identify the optimal balance between environmental sustainability and economic fairness in Saudi Arabia. The project models the Kingdom’s grid to determine the ideal mix of conventional and renewable energy sources that reduces carbon emissions while maintaining affordable electricity prices and supporting energy producers. Additionally, the project examines the impacts of carbon emission fees, providing a data-driven assessment of their effects on energy prices, market dynamics, and the transition to a greener economy.

Detecting Inappropriate Content in Short Videos for Children

The rise of user-generated content on platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts has raised concerns about inappropriate content reaching young audiences. These platforms rely on AI-driven recommendation systems to show tailored content. However, these systems might unintentionally suggest unsuitable material. Our project proposes a solution that combines the InceptionV3 CNN-RNN model for video analysis and the BERT model for understanding text context. The goal is to accurately identify and address inappropriate content in videos and their text descriptions. The dataset consists of 2,255 videos from YouTube Shorts and TikTok. After trying various approaches, the modified InceptionV3 model showed the best results, achieving an accuracy of 84.48%. This is a significant improvement over previous methods.
