‘Most importantly the specially designed hand-on sessions will be a boon to completely novice learners. We hope that this workshop will effectively democratize AI/ML Learning.’

Dr. Aditya is also the Assistant Professor with School of Computing and Electrical Engineering at IIT Mandi.

What are the keypoints that will be covered in this IIT Mandi workshop? They are given below:

$ Basics of Machine learning & Neural Networks

$ Convolutional Neural Networks

$ Object Localisation and Detection

$ Autoencoders and Variational AutoEncoder

$ Generative Adversarial Networks

$ Recurrent Neural Network and Long Short-Term Memory, Siamese Network

$ Transformer Network.

Dr. Varun Dutt, Associate Professor with School of Computing and Electrical Engineering at IIT Mandi will the key speaker at the workshop.

Speaking about IIT Mandi workshop Dr. Varun said this workshop is the first of its kind sponsored by the iHub and IIT Mandi and the entire workshop series includes 6 such workshop events in 2021 in total.

The current workshop would provide students, academics, and industry personnel hands-on sessions on AI/ML topics that span a number of domains, including the human-computer interaction area, said Dr. Varun.

The other keyspeakers at this IIT Mandi workshop which is also known as ADLCC 2021 are:

Dr. Aditya Nigam – Indian Institute of Technology Mandi

Dr. Arnav Bhavsar – Indian Institute of Technology Mandi

Dr. Dileep A.D. – Indian Institute of Technology Mandi

Dr. Chetan Arora – Indian Institute of Technology Delhi

Dr. Kamlesh Tiwari – Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani

Due to the recent drift of technology and enhanced computation power this new paradigm of deep learning based architectures has been extensively explored.

Different communities have exploited these architectures to solve almost all types of computer vision, image processing, and other problems.

Algorithms have to be implemented over Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) enabled systems to be optimized over very high dimensional parametric space.

Recently, a huge amount of work has been presented in reputed International conferences to exploit the power of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Autoencoders, and other related deep learning tools to solve problems in the domains of Computer Vision, Image Processing, Speech Processing, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) among others.
