Feedback Summary

  • Excellent speakers with great ideas about the topic.

  • Major highlight of the programme was joint conduction of the program at various centres and also practice of concepts in lab sessions.

  • NN and Deep Learning introduction, CNN and RL were the strength of the program.
  • Suggestions from Participants

  • Required more time for hands on session.

  • Basics of NN Before this program would have been added advantage.
