July 6: Basic classifier to machine learning-A journey

July 7: Methods in machine learning: Supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement. 

July 8: Fuzzy based machine learning with application in temporal data processing

July 9: Network-based learning algorithms – ANN to CNN/RNN

The course materials such as lecture slides, recordings of the classes, handouts of the demonstrations, etc will be made available to the students and the full video lectures will be uploaded on YouTube.

Candidates can attend the course live via any web browser through the e-class portal of IIRS Dehradun. The participants can also attend the live workshop via IIR’s YouTube channel of IIR.

For receiving the course completion certificate, a student must have attended 70 percent of the sessions via the e-class portal. Students attending the class via IIR’s YouTube channel should mark their attendance via an offline session made available after 24 hours post the class.
