AI Machine Learning Faculty Development Program

Organised By: Odias in Machine Learning (OdiaML) and Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology (VSSUT)

About

At AI for Global Goals, we (OdiaML) aim to provide nextGEN participants with best-in-class training on a broad range of advanced topics and developments in artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) -- including deep learning (DL). The Faculty Development Program (FDP) is part of OdiaML's initiative of AI/ML skill development for the faculties of Odisha. The scheduled FDP is a joint collaboration of OdiaML and VSSUT bringing international experts from academics, and industries aiming to enrich faculty members of any streams with AI/ML skills. This FDP focused on the hands-on implementation of various subjects in terms of mini-projects exercised by the participants and the assigned mentors.

Eligibility

All the Ph.D. scholars, Research Associates, and Faculties from VSSUT or other Engineering/Higher Education Institutions are eligible for the FDP.

Mini-Project

All the participants will be formed into groups to exercise a mini-project.
Each group can select a mini-project from the list of mini-projects or they can come up with their idea. Each group has to present its mini-project at the end of the FDP or on a scheduled date.
The mini-projects might be published in form of the FDP proceedings.
The group formation (total number of groups, and number of participants in each group) will be decided based on the number of registration.
A list of mentors (topic-wise) will be provided who will help during the execution of the mini-projects. A communication channel will be established for participant-mentor communication.
