Detailed Report:
One of the main goals of COEP’s DSAI club is to teach students of COEP about basics of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. By teaching students about Python programming language the club made sure that there is a basic foundation on which the students can create their career in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.
The first and second lecture of workshop took place on 21st and 23rd January 2019, in Cognizant lab. The goal of workshop was to give students a basic hands-on basics of Python Programming Language. This was a CodeAlong (Students executed the programs that were taught on the projector in the lab immediately on the lab computers). There were over 300 registrations but considering the capacity of the lab only 250 were given entry. The workshop was open to students of all branches, year and courses. We saw students from PhD, Mtech other than computer science attend the lecture. Students of branches other than Computer and IT constituted about 45% of attendance.
Third lecture was conducted on 28th January 2019 in Mini auditorium. It provided students the basis for usage of libraries related to machine learning. Students brought their laptops and programmed along with instructor. This lecture also gave the basic idea about the software development environment for machine learning.
Aditya Khandelwal, Club Technical secretary conducted these lectures. Suraj Sawant Sir was there for supervising and assistance.
