There are huge opportunities for different positions after successful completion of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Some of these opportunities are listed here
No. We have incorporated the basics concepts of statistics and mathematics required for learning Machine and deep learning.
Yes. We are in collaboration with Tech Mahindra (Makers Lab) for conduction of few courses. Collaboration with other companies is also in progress.
Symbiosis institute of technology is associated with eminent companies such as google, Microsoft, amazon, and many more. So students have very good opportunities to get placed in such companies for their bright future endeavors.
In the given curriculum, we have given opportunities to students to stream themselves or acquire the specializations in various areas such as Embedded-AI(AI + IoT), Cyber Physical Systems(IoT + AI + Security), etc.
In ancient times, devices such as desk computers were not capable of doing high-level computations which were required to run machine learning applications. However, now, along with the availability of machines, these algorithms are capable of doing high-level computations and automate various processes. Furthermore, current algorithms such as chatbots are intelligent enough to handle communication with clients, perform critical tasks, banking transactions, etc.
In recent times, with the advent of technologies such as Industry 4.0, Healthcare 4.0, smart cities, smart buildings, etc, AI has a major role to play in changing the functioning of current industries. However, decision making roles will still be handled by humans with the help of AI tools.
If we talk about software engineering, the sub-problem solutions are correct, however, it is not the same in machine learning — you find errors and the aggregate results can be dismay.
In a nutshell, the world needs software engineers as much as they need machine learning engineers. Both the job roles need to work symbiotically with each other. Machine learning needs you to have a solid foundation in mathematics and statistics. However, software engineering is usually the default route most people often fall victim of. But the degree definitely prepares you for the bigger picture. Also, being a software engineer does not prevent you from becoming a machine learning engineer. Machine learning engineers think on these lines —space of models, deployment, and the impact.
In a nutshell, the world needs software engineers as much as they need machine learning engineers. Both the job roles need to work symbiotically with each other.
Software engineering is about developing programs or tools to automate tasks. Machine learning is all about automating automation! Machine learning is about finding the optimal instructions to automate a task.
Machine learning algorithms are instructions for computers to learn other instructions automatically from data or experience. Therefore, machine learning is the automation of automation.
A lot of things have aligned to make this an exciting time for major advancements in AI.
are capturing more signals from customer interactions.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the concept of having machines “think like humans” — in other words, performing tasks like reasoning, planning, learning, and understanding language. While no one is expecting parity with human intelligence today or in the near future, AI has a big application in our day to day lives. The brain behind artificial intelligence is a technology called machine learning, which is designed to make our jobs easier and more productive.
Yes. Almost everyone who has a computer, smartphone, or other smart device is already using AI to make life easier:
