    National level workshop on Artificial intelligence and Machine learning

    ABOUT WORKSHOP

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning, reasoning and self-correction. Particular applications of AI include expert systems, speech recognition and machine vision. Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence. ML is the science of designing and applying algorithms that are able to learn things from past cases. The ultimate goal of AI and ML is in its ability to produce systems that are used regularly in industry, education, and elsewhere. This workshop paves a path to understand the difference between AI & ML and apply the principles of both in a real-time scenario.
