EEE SPS Winter School launched

PNS|Vijayawada

SRM University-AP hosted the IEEE SPS Winter School on ‘Deep Learning for Image Restoration and Computer Vision’ from December 5 to 10. The six-day conference organised by the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was inaugurated by the Pro-Vice-Chancellor of SRM University-AP, Prof D Narayana Rao.

Prof Sumantra Dutta Roy from IIT Delhi, a well-acclaimed researcher in computer vision and machine learning, joined on Saturday, for a lecture on ‘Biometrics and Medical Informatics.’ The discourse focused on the speaker’s struggles to come to terms with concepts that have comparatively little physical significance in terms of mathematical rigour or algorithmic efficiency but have the potential to produce hitherto unseen levels of startling results. The talk concluded with some applications of deep architectures and a few problems in biometrics and medical informatics.

The event was funded by IEEE and guided by the IEEE Guntur subsection and Hyderabad Section. Hands-on sessions were also conducted at the conference. Faculty, researchers, and students from various universities around the map participated in the insightful sessions.

The event organisers were Prof. Jiji CV and Assistant Professor Dr Sateeshkrishna Dhuli of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, SRM University-AP.
