AI hallucinations - instances where models produce irrelevant or nonsensical outputs - pose a significant hurdle in conversational AI. The Arbitrium agent tackles this issue with a meticulously designed, multi-layered system that prioritizes accuracy and coherence. By leveraging context tracking and response evaluation alongside advanced decision-making algorithms, the agent ensures that every response aligns with user inputs and the ongoing dialogue.
DistilBERT, employed for sentiment and emotion analysis, adds a layer of depth to response validation, maintaining relevance and consistency. A streamlined chat memory feature optimizes context retention by limiting conversational history to a manageable scope, striking a balance between detail and simplicity.
Further enhancing its capabilities, the agent incorporates alpha-beta pruning and cycle detection to assess multiple conversational trajectories, selecting the most meaningful response. Caching mechanisms efficiently handle repeated queries, while a robust fallback system gracefully manages invalid inputs. This comprehensive approach establishes the Arbitrium agent as a reliable and user-focused solution.

Struggle is Resistance ! .
Intensify the struggle for Gender Justice! 08.04.2012 .
.
\Vith every instance of inequality towards women, with every case of unequal wages, with each lash of moral policing, with every diktat of regressive forces such as the Khap Panchayats and with the cry for freedom and justice in Kashmir and North East. we realize the need to intensify our struggle for gender rights in all spheres oflife. The inspiration to wage these battles comes frOI]l those .
whose lives and struggles stand as a witness of their commitment towards gender justice and equality. Soni Sori, Bhanwari Devi, .
Savitribai Phule, Manorama Devi, Rosa Luxemberg, Clara Zetkin, Simone De Beauvoir and many other women, some of whom we .
have never heard of as they were left out of the media gaze while the media was preoccupied with the Arushis and Jessicas, are a living reminder that gender 'sensitization' and awareness has to include in its arena the right to free speech and movement, education and equal opportunities. It has to do much beyond that ofstopping crime. It includes the need to create a space which is equal for all, a society that does not exclude against any individual on any grounds. .
And that is why the agenda of an institution like the GSCASH while primarily serving the role ofstopping gender harassment and promoting gender equality needs to be expanded towards creating a campus which treats all genders equally. A campus where the administration's gag orders asking for women to sign before entering men's hostels, questioning women walking in campus at what seems to them 'unearthly hours', requiring visitors' to sign in guest registers to even sit in the visitors room at girls' hostels, needs to be decisively defeated. We live in a campus wher·e discrimination occurs at taken for grantedissues at everyday level in the hostel mess with allocation of food to women and men differently, where .
segregation' takes place at co ed hostel mess and where there is blatant objectification of women in cultural nights, hostel nights and fresher's party when not only songs and dances but even comments and jokes are passed around as a sign of informality and friendliness. It needs no mention that even what is portrayed as culture today is being decided heavily by the market and the media where buying certain commodities and brand is seen as sophisticated taste. ' women are repeatedly chorused and where the patriarchal.
\Vhere the role of 'good.
obsession ofwomen being disciplined and in control are repeatedly legitimized. .
.
And hence in the campus and outside we need to challenge this dominanc~ posed by the market and the media and expose their elite ill-conceived logic (much like the ~ ·Time s poll' that included murderer Narender Modi's name as one of the most influential people, only to find that even an 'anonymous' got more votes than Modi!). We need to a struggle against elitism and patriarchy simultaneously. That·behind the fa~ade of our achievements we have failed to achieve something even as basic as sanitation facilities for workers who arc That there is no basic health care available for those who are prone to injury during.
constructing our hostels and classrooms. constru£tion activities and who have to juggle between household tasks, taking care of young unattended children and do heavy physical labour, all at the same time. While we are fighting to ensure minimum wages, we need to equally recognize and demand that .
both men and women are paid equal wages for equal hours of work. The role of the GSCASH thereby needs to stand committed with the struggles ofwomen ofall sections ofsociety whose myriad struggles are ultimately a fight for equaJity, justice and dignity. .
Tying all this together, I conceive GSCASH as a site ofstruggle in all arenas. The issues of representation of women in academics .
for instance the issue of deprivation points, the availability of health and sanitation facilities for all, equal access w hostel and .
campus spaces, strengthening of punishment for offenders, and ensuring privacy of the cases pending in GSCASH, having a Photostat machine in the GSCASH office to ensure confidentiality, all ofthis are on my agenda. I am contesting as an independent candidate, who does not have any organization affiliation, as I want GSCASH to be out of political clout, where organizations use .
GSCASH as a tool to settle political scores against each other, and where women are against used as a political weapon to settle other problems. In my opinion the GSCASH representative should be equally accessible to all without any organizational interests that the .
representative has to safeguard and protect. Similarly the privacy of the individual filing GSCASH should not be compromised either .
through infrastructural problems as lack of Photostat facility in the GSCASH office, or because ofthe complicatedness of the issue .
because of political stakes. To not compromise our struggle for gender just society we need to go beyond our own individual and partisan interests to make GSCASH a progressive, non biased and effective body. .

Is this beeause the AI SA feels it is ·no longer going to yield electoral dividends in JNU? Isn't it opportumstic to play cheap politics on the murder of a committed Left leader, who was also an ally of the CPI-ML Liberation? .
Immediately after the last JNUSU· e·lections. the newly elected JNUSU President from the·AISA had remarked that the mandate "is in favour of people's movements struggling against SEZ.s, AFSPA and Operation Green Hunl". Has the JNUSU President or anybody else from the AISA taken a single initiative over the past six months to raise the issues of repeal of the AFSPA, or scrapping the SEZ Act or stopping "Operation Green Hunt"? The only SEZ AISA was interested in opposing was the one in Nandigram, as if no more SEZs are being built or opposed in other slates today. Opposing Greenhunt has become unnecessary for the AISA today, because the Left Front government in West Bengal no longer exists. Like Mamata Banerjee, who once opposed the killing of Maoist leader Azad and late·r once in power ordered the killing of another Maoist leader Kishenji herself, AISA's posturing on "G reenhunt" too is highly opportunistic. Similarly, AFSPA was an issue for the AISA till the March 2012 JNUSU elections just because it wanted to attack "CPI (M)'s double-speak" on AFSPA and not .
because it is serious about the state repression unleashed under the AFSPA regime either in Kashmir or the North-Easl In contrast, over 25 members of the SFI-JNU unit along with the AISF travelled to Srinagar by road in May 2012 to participate in a Convention on the Democratic Rights of Kashmiri Youth ·arid' joined in adopting a resolution demanding withdrawal of AFSPA and other democratic rights of the Kasmiri people. .
When such electoralism has been the hallmark of AISA's politics, does it befit the AI SA to indulge in name-calling? .

SFI-JNU has received a valuable solidarity message from eminent Left intellectual Dr. Ashok Mitra saying: "If you have searched your conscience ·and it has ~ndorsed your judgement that what you are embarking upon is· in defence of your c/ICrisiJed ideology and you are prepared to go all the way to face the consequences of your d~cision. please do go ahoacl.
