One of the cornerstones of Industry 4.0, often known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is machine learning (ML). The foundation of machine learning (ML), an application of artificial intelligence, is the notion that when given fresh data, computers may learn, develop, and evolve independently without direct human guidance or programming.  Nearly every industry is now aware of the significance of AI and machine learning. Therein arises the need for students to be AI-ML proficient. The Electrical Engineering Society organized a hands-on workshop on Machine Learning on 17 December 2022 in the Seminar Hall of the department. The workshop was arranged to create awareness among students about a future in machine learning and to get students prepared for a bright career in machine learning. We had Dr Manoj Semwal as our guest speaker. Dr Semwal holds the title of senior principal scientist at the Central Institute of Medicine and Aromatic Plants. Sir has a PhD in machine learning and d...
