75pc work on artificial intelligence lab at NUST completed
Islamabad: Seventy-five per cent work of Pakistan first high-standard artificial intelligence laboratory under CPEC at National University of Science and Technology (NUST) has been completed while the equipment installation is almost 100 per cent finished. At the beginning of this year, the laboratory under CPEC--Qingluan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory was officially established at NUST, with joint efforts of NUST and Guangzhou Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Research, development and customisation is currently underway. I would say work is almost finished to 75%." Muhammad Khubaib Shabbir, Deputy Director of China Study Centre of NUST told Gwadar Pro on Saturday. The lab has been put into full use, both students and teaching staff are keen on researching Pattern and Facial Recognition algorithms, the reporter learned. "Currently, Cogniser-V1 intelligent video analysis project-a pilot project with the Government of Pakistan, and a commercial project, namely GymBot are the main projects that are under development." "Ideally, Cognizer-V1 is one of the most sophisticated surveillance equipment, which has the capability of converting ordinary cameras and surveillance equipment into a Smart Equipment, using AI and Computer Vision Algorithms." "To put it simple, the Cognizer-V1 has the ability to sense the people who are lurking around in certain areas and generate warnings, regarding dangerous behavioral patterns such as suicide, or other suspicious activities." In the case of Pakistan, the country is blessed with a large number of artificial intelligence application scenarios and a huge market, thanks to its world's 6th largest population. Moreover, the country is never short on talents. However, challenges lie in the commercialisation of scientific achievements-- an important step which can be viewed as one of the sources for innovation. Due to the backward industrial conditions and obstruction of international exchanges during the epidemic, the progress of commercialization in Pakistani scientific research institutes has been extremely slow. "Our other key project, 'GymBot', can be a perfect example of science commercialization.

Aqsa Kausar becomes first Pakistani female Google Developer Expert in 'Machine Learning'
ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) Aqsa Kausar, an electrical engineering graduate from NUST (National University of Science and Technology), has become the first female Google Developer Expert in Machine language from Pakistan. According to local news agency, she has risen to acclaim at such a young age through her contributions to the field of Machine Learning. Besides, there are other various awards to her credit for holding workshops in events like Google DevFest 2018 and Google Cloud Next Extended 2019. Moreover, not too long ago, she also participated in Google's Machine Learning Train-The-Trainer session which was held in Singapore. Aqsa currently working as an AI developer with a software organization named Red Buffer.
Pakistan's machine learning expert Aqsa Kausar breaks Stereotypes
Aqsa, An engineering graduate from the National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST) broke all stereotypes regarding Women and technology. Machine Learning is the use of Artificial Intelligence that encourages the PC framework to anticipate the result and make a move that is required without being explicitly programmed. Aqsa Kausar has become Pakistan's first female Google Developer Expert in Machine Learning. Aqsa got a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from NUST with a CGPA of 3.79. She has just become well known at such a youthful age by contributing immeasurably in the field of Machine Learning.
Rise of the machines: Pakistani roboteers hunt global soccer glory
The little striker wearing a crescent moon and star jersey lines up his penalty and kicks right, netting his goal as the keeper dives the wrong way and hits the ground yelping in pain. Both players are teammates practising to represent Pakistan in a major world football tournament. Unlike their low-ranked flesh-and-blood counterparts, however, these are advanced robots whose programmers are set to compete against students from the world's top universities as they look to showcase what their country can do in the world of Artificial Intelligence. Students at Pakistan's National University of Science and Technology (NUST) will this year for the first time send a team to the annual RoboCup, an event featuring 32 universities that will be held in Leipzig, Germany from June 27 to July 4. The six machines are NAO humanoid robots purchased from France's Aldebaran Robotics at a cost of roughly 17,000. It is in fact the third year that NUST, Pakistan's premier engineering institute, has qualified for the prestigious cup.
