A webinar on ?Introduction to Machine Learning using MATLAB? was organised on June 24-26, 2020. Each session was conducted for 2 hours and the whole programme was for 6 hours duration. The webinar was coordinated by Dr Nagendra P Gajjar and Dr Ruchi Gajjar from the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. The resource persons for the webinar were Dr Nagendra P. Gajjar, Dr Ruchi Gajjar and Mr Viral Shah, an Alumni of EC and also an Engineer at the Machine Learning Group, eInfochips, Ahmedabad.
The objective of the webinar was to spread awareness about Machine Learning among the students of Technology and Engineering, to enable the students to understand the basics of Machine Learning and Deep Learning fundamentals and enable hands-on with MATLAB Software through the use of a University-wide MATLAB license.
The registration of the webinar was open for all the branches of Technology and Engineering and UG, PG and PhD program students of ITNU. The Registration for the webinar was free. It was in a true sense, an interdisciplinary topic, given the participating students were from all the departments with varying academic years. The programme helped the students learn the concepts and understand the application of machine learning and deep learning in their domain of technology fields. Total 590 students registered for the webinar and finally, 300 participants completed the webinar who were evaluated on attendance, continuous evaluation through Quizzes and Assignments. The content covered in the webinar was as follows:
1. Machine Learning (ML) using MATLAB: Basics, Processes and Example with demo
2. Deep Learning (DL) using MATLAB: Basics, Processes and Example with demo
3. Applications and Case Studies of ML and DL
The Sessions were conducted through Google Meet online platform, in three parallel meets. The Registration, Quizzes and feedback were taken and evaluated through Google forms and all participants were given e-certificates.
