ATAL workshop on Artificial Intelligence

The Day-1 workshop started with a wonderful session by Dr Anand Mahalingam, Ph.D Vice President

Head of AI, MyHealthcare at InnoCirc Ventures, about the Perceptrons, Deep Neural Networks, deep

learning optimization and regularization, introduction to tensor flow, back propagation algorithm,

implementing DNN in tensor flow. The participants were given a detailed introduction to AI/ML.

The Day-1 second session was handled by Dr.Uttam Kumar, Asst.Professor Indian Institute of

Information Technology, Bombay delivered Lecture on Linear and Logistic Regression and the session

ATAL workshop on Artificial Intelligence

was useful to the participants.

The Day-2 sessions which was taken by Vinayak Pai, General Manager – Digital Practice, Mindtree and

Reshma, Data Scientist – Digital Practice, Mindtree. The Session was mainly on Technological

singularities. The session was more theoretical with involving participants with ideas and the class was

mainly based on the future of artificial intelligence.

The Day-3 session to Day- 5 sessions was handled by Mr.Sushil Soni, and his team from Livewire,

Bangalore delivered session on various topics with hands on experience in python programming,

Artificial Intelligence. Mr.Khasif Arbaz, Application Engineer handled the lab sessions with Mr.sushil Soni

and cleared all the doubts in python programming. The sessions were based on Perceptrons, Deep

Neural Networks, deep learning optimization and regularization, introduction to tensor flow, back

propagation algorithm, implementing DNN in tensor flow. The sessions were theoretical as well as hands

on which was useful to the participants.
