How IIT Guwahati Leads Cutting-Edge Research In AI & Data Science

The Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG), established in 1994, has a vision: "To be recognised globally for excellence in education, research and innovation, and nurture future leaders, to serve the society at large." Analytics India Magazine got in touch with three IITG professors, namely Ratnajit Bhattacharjee, Siddhartha Pratim Chakrabarty, and Ashok Singh Sairam, to understand IITG's contributions to the burgeoning field of AI and Data Science in India. Professors: IITG faculty members are currently engaged in research activities in different topics in the field of AI and Machine Learning (ML), particularly their applications. Recently, IITG, in collaboration with several other leading institutes and organisations, has submitted a proposal for a Centre of Excellence (CoE) on the topic of Deep Learning for geo-hazards prediction to the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) for possible funding. If this CoE gets established, there will be cutting edge research activities in the application of Deep Learning and the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
