Machine Learning Workshop

Towards Industry 4.0 Readiness

Faculty: Sujit Bhattacharyya Language: English

Workshop @ AICTE Head Office, New Delhi

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science (DS), and Machine Learning (ML) are the pillars of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or what is commonly known as Industry 4.0. AI is a branch of Computer Science that deals with the ability of a machine to closely imitate intelligent human behavior. ML is an application of AI that is based on the idea that when machines are provided new data, they can learn, grow, and develop on their own without explicit human intervention/programming. DS, on the other hand, is an umbrella term that signifies techniques used to extract useful information and insights from data.

Today, the importance of AI-ML is being felt in almost every domain. Therein arises the need for professionals to be AI-ML proficient.

Towards attaining this objective, AICTE and CL Educate jointly organized a two-day workshop (on February 7 & 8, 2019) on Machine Learning at the AICTE Head Office in New Delhi for the faculty members of AICTE-affiliated colleges. The workshop was inaugurated by Dr M P Poonia (Vice-Chairman, AICTE), Dr Elangovan Kariappan (Assistant Innovation Director, AICTE), and Mr Satya Narayanan R (Founder, CL Educate).

A team from CL Educate, led by Mr Sujit Bhattacharyya (Chief Innovation Officer, CL Educate) conducted the sessions.

In total, 38 participants, including faculty members (Assistant Professors, Associate Professors) and representative of other managements, etc., from across the country attended the workshop. They were selected by the AICTE out of 300+ applicants, on the basis of a number of parameters. The participants, from various branches of Engineering and Science (including Computer Science), were from Assam, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi among others.

The foremost misconception that was addressed by the workshop was the one that ML is only for those from a Computer Science background. Mr Bhattacharyya and his team had planned the workshop in such a way so as to ensure there was a judicious mix of theoretical knowledge and hands-on training. Online practical sessions were also held. Based on individual capability, the team from CL Educate had arranged separate workspaces on their server for every participant.

The response was overwhelming, with the participants requesting the second day's session to be extended. They have also requested to arrange a similar workshop, but for 5 days.

The workshop drew to a close with LIVE hands-on training on Amazon Alexa voice bot. A demonstration was given by a participant in front of Prof. Anil D Sahasrabudhe (Chairman, AICTE).

Prof. Sahasrabudhe, Dr Poonia, Dr Kariappan, and Mr Satya Narayanan R expressed their thoughts on machine learning in the closure ceremony.
