The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) have opened registrations for a new 5-day online course focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). The course, designed to equip participants with foundational knowledge in AI and ML, is scheduled to run from August 19 to August 23, 2024.
Eligibility Criteria
This course is ideal for professionals looking to familiarize themselves with AI, ML, and Deep Learning (DL), especially in the context of geospatial applications. Students and researchers studying in disciplines like computer science, data analytics, geoinformatics, geomatics, and civil engineering will also find it to be of great relevance. The course is free of charge, but seats are limited. Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so early application is recommended.
Course Content and Materials
The curriculum offers a comprehensive overview of AI, ML, and DL, covering topics such as supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. Advanced deep learning techniques, including CNN, RNN, R-CNN, Faster RCNN, SSD, and YOLO, will also be explored. Additionally, practical sessions will focus on using Google Earth Engine and Python programming to develop machine and deep learning models. All study materials, including lecture slides, video recordings, and handouts, will be available on the eClass platform for easy access.
Certification
Participants who successfully complete the course with at least 70% attendance will receive a 'Course Participation Certificate,' which will be available for download from the ISRO Learning Management System (LMS).
