Techfest - Wikipedia
Techfest is the annual science and technology festival of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.[1] It also refers to the independent body of students who organize this event along with many other social initiatives and outreach programs around the year. Techfest is known for hosting a variety of events that include competitions, exhibitions, lectures as well as workshops. Started in 1998 with the aim of providing a platform for the Indian student community to develop and showcase their technical prowess, it has now grown into Asia's Largest Science and Technology Festival[2] with a footfall of 1.75 lakhs in its latest edition.[3][4][5] The activities culminate in a grand three-day event in the campus of IIT Bombay which attracts people from all over the World, including students, academia, corporates and the general public.[6] The very first edition of Techfest was in 1998. The underlying spirit of Techfest was "to promote technology and scientific thinking and innovation" a motto that has been followed by every Techfest since. Techfest '98 also set the broad outlines of Techfest in the form of competitions, lectures, workshops, and exhibitions which went on to become a standard feature at every Techfest. Entrepreneurship also made an appearance in the 1999 and 2000 editions. Technoholix--Techfest in the Dark, showcasing technological entertainment at the end of each day as well as the hub of on the spot activities, made their debut during these years. Techfest 2001-2002 saw the incorporation of IIT Bombay's department oriented events like Yantriki, Chemsplash and Last Straw. Students from G H Raisoni College of Engineering got the Engineering Excellence Award for best design.
Machine Learning with Knime
In this presentation, Kathrin Melcher, who works as a data scientist at KNIME, will give an overview of KNIME Software, including the open-source tool KNIME Analytics Platform for creating data science applications and services and also the different deployment options you have when using KNIME Server. While the structure is often similar--data collection, data transformation, model training, deployment--each project required its own special trick, whether this was a change in perspective or a particular technique to deal with the special case and business questions. You'll learn about demand prediction in energy, anomaly detection in IoT, risk assessment in finance, the most common applications in customer intelligence, social media analysis, topic detection, sentiment analysis, fraud detection, bots, recommendation engines, and more. Join us to learn what's possible in data science. She holds a Master's Degree in Mathematics from the University of Konstanz, Germany.

How AI is helping children overcome their speech disabilities - Microsoft News Centre Europe
In Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, there are over 5 million children with some form of disability. With the right support, many of these can thrive in mainstream education. As a result, up to 75 percent of these children are excluded from quality education. The situation is made even more difficult when resources are stretched to begin with. In Romania, a country which has the second highest teacher-to-student ratio in Europe, it can be difficult for children with disabilities to get the specific support they need to thrive, whether that's in or out of the classroom.

Last Minute Learning Opportunity
Tomorrow – October 23, 2019 – the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) is offering a webinar entitled, "Are There Finally Real Use Cases for AI?" In the last few years, a number of companies have come on the scene to tout new or better artificial intelligence (AI) technology and propose new ways of using AI in scholarly communications. This webinar will cover real world use cases of publishers and AI technology, exploring what's working and what, if anything, one should be aware of when considering an implementation. The SSP webinar program delivers a series of highly informative, thought-provoking webinars designed to challenge and stimulate discussion. Covering timely topics and offered regularly throughout the year, our one-hour webinars remain available within the library archive on SSP's website.
