Day 1: 02/06/2023 – Introduction to AI & ML
Morning Session – 10:30 AM to 01:00 PM:
The first session of the technical seminar focused on demystifying AI and ML by providing a clear definition of these terms. This session was engaged by Ms. Medini B V, who is the lead trainer of Delithe, Bengaluru. The resource person covered the differences between AI and ML, explaining that AI refers to the broader concept of machines exhibiting human-like intelligence, while ML is a subset of AI that enables machines to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. The resource person delved into the core concepts of ML, starting with supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. The participants learned about the basic building blocks of ML, such as datasets, features, labels, and models. The session also introduced popular ML algorithms, including linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, and support vector machines. In this session, the resource person highlighted real-world applications of AI and ML across diverse industries. She also showcased how AI and ML are transforming healthcare through disease diagnosis, drug discovery, and personalized treatment. The participants also learned about AI-driven advancements in autonomous vehicles, natural language processing, fraud detection, and recommendation systems. Finally, a Q&A session was also done.
Afternoon Session – 02:00 PM to 04:00 PM:
The afternoon session was a hands-on session which was engaged by Ms. Medini B V, a lead trainer of Delithe. The session began with an overview of Arduino, explaining its open-source nature and the wide range of applications it supports. Participants learned about the various Arduino boards available and their features, including digital and analog input/output pins, power supply options, and communication interfaces. The session then focused on the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and programming microcontrollers using the Arduino programming language. Participants were guided through the installation of the Arduino IDE and introduced to its interface. They learned how to write, compile, and upload code to an Arduino board. Participants were introduced to their first hands-on project, which involved blinking an LED using an Arduino board. They learned how to connect the LED to the board, write the necessary code to control it, and upload the code for execution. This project helped participants understand the basic structure of an Arduino program and the use of digital output pins.
