Overview

The programme introduces the principles and working of machine learning and intelligent systems. It enhances the students’ knowledge on design, development and testing of various machine learning algorithms and systems using industry standard tools. It is structured in such a way that the students will be able to build intelligent systems and evaluate machine learning algorithms for domain specific applications.

Objective

The objectives of the programme are to train and educate the students on the following:

  • State-of-the-art machine learning algorithms and intelligent systems
  • Principles and concepts of pattern recognition, computational intelligence, probabilistic graphical models, neural networks and deep learning algorithms
  • Development of algorithms for machine learning tasks
  • Implementation of machine learning algorithms using industry standard tools
  • Construction and adaptation of intelligent systems using machine learning algorithms for domain specific applications
  • Industry practice, process and standards giving general perspectives as well as opportunities for a career in development of machine learning algorithms

Highlights

  • Elective Specialisation

    Elective courses are so designed as to offer a specialisation such as AI for Healthcare or AI for Robotics. A student may register for up to two elective courses online based on his or her interests in AI and Machine Learning

  • International Competitions

    Students can also earn 3 or 4 credits by participating in international competitions like technical presentations, conferences and publications in journals and winning awards. Students who achieve this can be exempted from one of the elective courses in the program

  • Group Project

    The main objective of a group project is to build a product prototype as a part of a team and to experience and solve problems that arise in integration of components. A group shall have up to 5 students and the project may be interdisciplinary. Students are encouraged to innovate and file patents

  • Industry Internship or Project

    A student can opt for an internship in an industry, a business or research organisation. Alternately, students can undertake a mini-project which requires self-directed study that can be pursued with an affiliated faculty member. The internship needs to be approved by the HoD and Dean and students have to submit a report and make a presentation to a panel constituted by the HoD for assessment

  • Dissertation and Publication

    Each student gets an opportunity to perform research work in a chosen AI topic with well-defined objectives, carrying out literature survey and addressing a few gaps. Students are encouraged to publish their results. It is Ramaiah University’s experience that a dissertation helps students in both an industrial career as well as a research career

  • Application based learning program
  • Research opportunities
  • Internship, training and placement support with various worldwide universities and industries
  • Faculty with PhD degrees in machine learning will advise students on group projects and dissertation work.
  • Includes expert guest lectures from various institutions and industries.
  • Includes workshops, industry visits, group discussions and debates.
  • Ensures small batches to encourage in-depth learning

  • We offer accommodation in student hostels on our campus, and even offer third-party off-campus hotels where necessary to ensure students can focus on what matters the most. 
  • Our on-campus facilities include WiFi any time of the day, 24/7.
  • From a host of eateries and laundry facilities, we ensure that students have access to all facilities.
  • We encourage students to participate in co-curricular activities on campus which include sports and cultural events, both at a university level and a faculty level.
  • We help students focus on independent and sponsored research with projects and a dissertation.
