Workshop on Artificial and Machine Learning

According to Stanford Researcher, John McCarthy, “Artificial Intelligence is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. Artificial Intelligence is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to biologically observable methods.”
AI and ML are everywhere, from the corporate world to gaming stations, and perhaps, more than our regular lives, AI is impacting the business world more. Artificial intelligence describes a machine that is capable of imitating and performing intelligent human behavior. Some of these tasks could include problem solving and decision making or specific activities requiring acute perception, recognition, or translation abilities.
So, in the two-day workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning we would learn the concepts, syntax, semantics and gain introductory knowledge in Machine Learning principles through examples that provide useful exposure to the various concepts of AI.
