About the FDP
This five-day Faculty Development Programme on “Machine learning algorithms and applications” is targeted to provide an introductory overview of the theoretical aspects and scientific applications of the machine and deep learning concepts in the contemporary world.
The topic “machine learning” has captured the attention of many scientists and engineers across the globe working in various disciplines due to its inherent applications and power in making the analysis and diagnosis pretty simple and accurate. The machine learning algorithms ensure minimal manual intervention to the systems thereby reducing manual errors and improving accuracy.
Many well-known systems are powered by machine learning algorithms. Machine learning becomes inevitable when dealing with big data from various applications. As the amount of data increases, the manual analysis becomes impossible and highly inaccurate. Many systems require precision in the analysis so as to make appropriate decisions at required circumstances.
