Data science is a multi-disciplinary area that uses scientific methods, algorithms and systems to extract hidden knowledge and insights from data (Structured and Unstructured). It is the study of where information comes from, what it represents and how it can be transformed into a valuable resource in the creation of business and IT strategies. Mining large amounts of structured and unstructured data to identify patterns can help an organization in many ways. Data Science is confluence of mathematics, statistics and computer science disciplines, and incorporates techniques like machine learning, cluster analysis, data mining and visualization. Hence, it is important to bring awareness among researchers & academicians and train manpower on data sciences to do innovative research work, projects, and create knowledge base.

DSAP-2019 is an initiative of IIITA to bring together the community of Astrophysics and gravitational wave data scientists with the Computer Science and Information Technology experts working in data science (Big Data) and Machine learning. This workshop will be held from 1-3 Nov, 2019.

Blockchain is an emerging platform for developing decentralized applications and data storage, over and beyond its role as a platform for cryptocurrencies. Even though, blockchain technology has become popularly known because of its use in the implementation of Cryptocurrencies such as BitCoin, Ethereum, etc., the blockchain platform holds much more promise in various areas such as logging of important events in a system, recording transactions, e-governance etc. Hence, it is important to bring awareness among researchers & academicians and train manpower on Blockchain to do innovative research work, projects, and create knowledge base.

Winter Research Internship 2019 under Center for Cognitive Computing (CCC)

A worthwhile, relevant and significant interaction demand the speaker to listen to the students. It is important for a teacher or a researcher to make the grounds of the students as strong as possible in his interest field. In future, these students and researchers also have the same responsibility for the budding scientists. This chain evolves the science through different stages as in Problem, Imagination, Experiment, Observation and Conclusion which is what we call the Science is.

The International Conference on Machine Intelligence and Signal Processing (MISP-2019) will be held at Indian Institute of Technology, Allahabad, India, on September 7-10, 2019. This conference is meant for researchers all over the globe interested in the areas of data mining, artificial intelligence, optimization, machine learning methods/ algorithms, signal processing theory and methods, and applications to human brain disorders like epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, sleep disorders etc. Other applications of machine learning and signal processing techniques are also welcome.

An Opportunity of learning as well as joining in IIIT-A's PhD Programme.
