Data Science, Artificial Intelligence Center Inaugurated at IIT Madras, Research In Deep Learning To Be Focal Point

Indian Institute of Techlogy (IIT-M) in Mras witnessed unveiling of Robert Bosch Center for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (RBC-DSAI).

“Artificial Intelligence is a core techlogy for all areas of connected life – from connected mobility to buildings, factories, and cities. expertise of our Indian engineers contributes to expanding AI skills set of Bosch,” said Dr. Michael Bolle, member of Bosch’s board of manment, during inaugural ceremony.

Bosch stated that it would invest Rs 20 crores over a  five year period in center. mission of new center is to create societal impact through multidisciplinary interactions with government, acemic, research, and industrial collaborators on core challenges in Data Science (DS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

RBC-DSAI will undertake foundational research in many areas of AI and Data Science, namely deep learning, reinforcement learning, network analytics, interpretable machine learning, and domain aware AI. areas of activity include research projects, kwledge manment and dissemination, outreach projects, and setting up collaborative facilities and laboratories.

“ center’s mandate requires interaction with industry and or universities, including international student and faculty exchanges. objective is to vance scientific invation for societal benefit,” stated Prof, Bhaskar Ramamurthi who is Director at IIT-Mras.

Applied research would begin in four verticals: manufacturing analytics, financial analytics, smart cities, systems biology, and health care. Several techlogies currently require large datasets to improve ir accuracy and to apt se techlogies for Indian context.

Identifying basic issues in way data is  collected and shared; warranting a collective, open-source mechanism, Prof. B. Ravindran, he of RBC-DSAI, said, “ center, in dition to fundamental research, is setting out on an ambitious task of creating a portal of curated, India specific data sets that are easy to access and interpret through a set of open tools and interfaces.”
