Ipsita Pathak, a student of the University of Illinois, US, joined the summer internship at Leadingindia-.ai, a hotspot for Artificial Intelligence (AI) mentoring at Bennett University. She said that she had an exceptional experience and learnt a lot through the live projects with international benchmarks. Similarly, Zakiuddin of IIT Mumbai, working on face detection in challenging situations, was happy that this was exactly the experience and project work he had been craving.
AI will define future career options, and students across the country are scouting for the right place to enhance their new age skills. Not surprisingly, 300 students from 23 states and 79 institutions, including IITs, NITs and IIITs, spent their summer at Bennett University for the Leadingindia.ai internships.
Leadingindia.ai is supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK, tech majors NVIDIA and Amazon, and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). More than 800 institutions are mentored in a hub-and-spoke model, and over 7,000 engineering teachers have been trained through 150 workshops across India. Also, over 100 research groups are working on cutting edge solutions in healthcare, security, agriculture and smart mobility.
Some of the AI challenges the students worked on at a three-day deep-learning workshop included multimodal emotion recognition, crop diseases, prediction of disease spread, Richter predictor for earthquakes, quality estimation of the water table and online media harassment detection. The workshop covers reinforcement learning, deep learning, auto-encoders and model compression. A team working on mortality prediction is at second spot in the overall world rankings on the leader board.
The internships are enabled by the NVIDIA DGX V100 supercomputing facility at Bennett University and are marked by frequent hackathons, capable mentors and continuous assessment.
The summer internship is the brainchild of Deepak Garg, director, Leadinginindia.ai and head of computer science engineering at Bennett University. Raghunath Shevgaonkar, vice-chancellor, Bennett University, explained, “This is a unique initiative and can act as a role model for creating a vibrant AI ecosystem in the country. The faculty has put in immense effort and industry and government have proactively participated.”
Bennett University is a Times Group Initiative and is committed to education that provides experiential learning and industry connections.
GETTING FUTURE-READY
