The Day-1 workshop started with a wonderful session by Dr Anand Mahalingam, Ph.D Vice President
Head of AI, MyHealthcare at InnoCirc Ventures, about the Perceptrons, Deep Neural Networks, deep
learning optimization and regularization, introduction to tensor flow, back propagation algorithm,
implementing DNN in tensor flow. The participants were given a detailed introduction to AI/ML.

The Day-1 second session was handled by Dr.Uttam Kumar, Asst.Professor Indian Institute of
Information Technology, Bombay delivered Lecture on Linear and Logistic Regression and the session
