1. Deep Learning - IIT Ropar -By Prof. Sudarshan Iyengar   |   IIT Ropar
Deep Learning has received a lot of attention over the past few years and has been employed successfully by companies like Google, Microsoft,
IBM, Facebook, Twitter etc. to solve a wide range of problems in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. In this course we will
learn about the building blocks used in these Deep Learning based solutions. Specifically, we will learn about feedforward neural networks,
convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks and attention mechanisms. We will also look at various optimization algorithms such
as Gradient Descent, Nesterov Accelerated Gradient Descent, Adam, AdaGrad and RMSProp which are used for training such deep neural
networks. At the end of this course students would have knowledge of deep architectures used for solving various Vision and NLP tasks

3. Introduction to internet of things - By Prof. Sudip Misra   |   IIT Kharagpur

Internet of Things (IoT) is presently a hot technology worldwide. Government, academia, and industry are involved in different aspects
of research, implementation, and business with IoT. IoT cuts across different application domain verticals ranging from civilian to defence
sectors. These domains include agriculture, space, healthcare, manufacturing, construction, water, and mining, which are presently transitioning
their legacy infrastructure to support IoT. Today it is possible to envision pervasive connectivity, storage, and computation, which, in turn, gives
rise to building different IoT solutions. IoT-based applications such as innovative shopping system, infrastructure management in both urban and
rural areas, remote health monitoring and emergency notification systems, and transportation systems, are gradually relying on IoT based
systems. Therefore, it is very important to learn the fundamentals of this emerging technology.
