Deep architectures are playing the most important role in the area of machine learning and are considered as the future technology and anticipated a complete paradigm shift in the area of artificial intelligence by the researchers. It is considered to be one of the most active areas of research in signal, image, vision and biometrics and comprises of supervised and unsupervised models of approach for detection/ recognition/ classification/ synthesization of objects. With the advent of extraordinary computation power and huge data sets, it is possible to model the most complex processes using deep architectures. With the advent of Deep learning architectures, almost all areas of signal processing have undergone significant changes in their approach. This is primarily because machine learning is at the forefront of solving many problems in computer signal, image, vision and biometrics which were thought to be either unsolvable or highly computationally intensive in the past. One of the key ideas which have facilitated this is the introduction of deep architectures, which form the basis of present day pattern based recognition problems. The proposed one-week course will be comprising of approximately 25 lectures followed by 15 hours’ worth of lab demonstration and hands-on approach is intended to help the participants familiarise themselves with Signal & Image Processing, Computer Vision, Biometrics and Machine Learning and pertains to how all of the approaches can be applied to research problems in real life. The course also covers essentials of machine learning, deep neural networks as well as the other models how they can be applied to solve practical problems in computer vision so that more people become interested in signal processing. Objectives: 1. Providing a platform to showcase the research work through technical paper and poster presentation. 2. Building awareness towards deep learning architectures. 3. Building the technical capacity in the area of Signal, Image, and Vision Processing via deep architectures. 4. Building communities of research students, educator, R&D, and Industry persons in this emerging area of research and development. 5. Providing hands-on tutorial sessions, where the participants can experiment with concepts and methods.

Data science for IoT is a multidisciplinary area that uses scientific methods, algorithms and systems to extract hidden knowledge and insights from data (Structured and Unstructured). It is the study of where information comes from, what it represents and how it can be transformed into a valuable resource in the creation of business and IT strategies. Data Science is a confluence of mathematics, statistics and computer science disciplines, and incorporates techniques like machine learning, cluster analysis, data mining and visualization. Hence, it is important to bring awareness among researchers & academicians and train manpower on data sciences for IoT to do innovative research work, projects, and create knowledge base. Therefore, there is both a great need and an exciting opportunity for the fraternity to develop theory, models, and algorithms in the domain of data science for IoT. The AICTE Training And Learning (ATAL) Academy sponsored 5-day FDP will bring awareness among researchers & academicians to discuss existing key progress and promising new directions.

Nanomedicine is a branch of medicine that applies the knowledge and tools of nanotechnology to the prevention and treatment of diseases. Nanomedicine involves the use of nanoscale materials, such as biocompatible nanoparticles and nanorobots, for diagnosis, delivery, sensing or actuation purposes in living organism. This workshop is an introduction to the world of nano research for beginners. The idea is to attract students, young researchers to the area of nanotechnology.

To provide an interactive platform for exchange of ideas and latest research findings on topics related to MEMS, NEMS, Nano robotics, 3D printing in tissue engineering, microfluidic cell culture and interdisciplinary research involving Bio-MEMS, Nanotechnology, Robotics, Microbiology and cutting edge characterization modalities like

Creative problem solving and critical thinking has been considered as potent tool to solve Complex problems in the industry as well as the academic circle. In this FDP & Workshop we will use established methods of Creative problem solving and critical thinking to approach the problem and move towards a solution which not only satisfies the constraints but also transcends the current boundaries created due to constrained viewpoint at prospective of agents involved in: The envisaging Analysis Assessment and Resolution of the problem.

The program is webbed around the idea of helping the faculties across the nation gain some significant skills from some highly qualified and experienced faculty. The faculty will guide you all to prosper in this field and develop a good foundation for their career in this domain. The concept of Emotional Quotient has seen some drastic improvisation in research of the past few years. Emotional intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others and defuse conflict. It is the ability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one's goal.
