'KARYASHALA' is a noble endeavour of Government of India by Science and Engineering Board (SERB) under Accelerate Vigyan Scheme to improve research productivity of promising PG and PhD students from universities and colleges through high-end workshops on specific themes. This program aims to provide opportunities to acquire specialized research skills. These workshops will primarily be facilitated at organizations / institutions / laboratories of national importance. Department of Computer Science and IT, Bhaderwah Campus, University of Jammu, Jammu has decided to be a part of this unique initiative and share our Institutional resources with the society towards higher goals of national importance. Thus, the current workshop has come into being. This event is sponsored by SERB.
One Week high end Workshop on Technical talks, and Hands-on Sessions on open source Tools
About the Workshop
KARYASHALA' is aimed to provide hands-on experience to the students primarily from universities, colleges, private academic institutions and newly established institutes in handling / troubleshooting of high-end scientific instruments, software's and such skill development on themes required for research work. The program is meant to support motivated PG and Ph.D. level students, who are having a strong willingness to get excellence in their scientific and engineering research pursuits
This Workshop will cover basic & advanced approaches of the compute capabilities and the system software required for implementing artificial intelligence (AI) based solutions on industrial use cases such as the ones in the domains of healthcare, climate dynamics and smart city. Interns will be engaged in data identification, collection and data preparation and also learn feature selection approaches and then model building using Machine Learning techniques.
Following are the objectives of this high end workshop:
To Study Systematic Survey on Role of Machine Learning and Deep Learning approaches in Healthcare/Energy Conservation/Climate dynamics.
To Train on building Image Classifier for Animal/Human/Drone/Some other object detection using various libraries like
NumPy/TensorFlow/OpenCVTo impart the knowledge of Role of Machine Learning and Deep Learning approaches in Computer Vision and thus enable the participants to understand it with real life examples
Recognize research problems in the field of Artificial Intelligence
To develop programming skills among researchers to deal with customized coding problems related with their research work.
