Curious About AI and AR? MICA 2024 at Mahindra University Has You!

Mahindra University is gearing up to host a series of pre-conference tutorials on October 17, 2024, as part of its prestigious International Conference on Advanced Communications and Machine Intelligence (MICA 2024). The tutorials will feature hands-on learning experiences led by distinguished experts in various domains, aimed at providing participants with in-depth knowledge of cutting-edge technologies. The sessions will cover topics ranging from multimodal human-agent interactions to Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) development, promising a day of intensive learning and innovation.

TICE News is the official media partners for the event.

The tutorials are a prelude to the main conference and are designed for participants keen on exploring the latest advancements in fields like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and immersive technologies. With a strong focus on practical applications, these sessions will enable attendees to acquire both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills.

A Platform for Learning Advanced Technologies

The pre-conference tutorials at MICA 2024 aim to offer an in-depth learning experience in some of the most relevant technological fields today. The event will focus on topics that are not only significant in the academic world but also have profound real-world applications. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with domain experts, delve into research trends, and understand how these technologies can be applied in practical scenarios.

The lineup includes four specialized tutorials: "Multimodal Human-Agent Active Interaction," "Indic Natural Language Processing (NLP)," "Matrix Factorization Applications," and "AR/VR Development with Unity." Each session is tailored to provide participants with a combination of theoretical insights and practical skills, ensuring they walk away with a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.

Key Speakers and Topics

The first tutorial, titled Multimodal Human-Agent Active Interaction, will be conducted by Dr. Amitash Ojha, Assistant Professor at IIT Jammu. This session will focus on the integration of multimodal data—such as physiological signals, eye movement, heart rate, and speech patterns—into artificial agents. The goal is to enhance the ability of AI systems to interact dynamically and intuitively with humans, creating more personalized and adaptive human-computer interfaces. Dr. Ojha will guide participants through the latest developments in machine learning algorithms and multimodal analysis, aimed at improving agents' predictive abilities and responsiveness to human emotions.

Running parallel to this is the Indic NLP session led by Mr. Nihar Ranjan Sahoo, a Research Scholar from IIT Bombay. This tutorial will emphasize natural language processing techniques, with a specific focus on Indian languages. Attendees will explore current research in this domain and its applications across various sectors. As India is a linguistically diverse country, this tutorial will provide key insights into how NLP is being shaped to meet the unique challenges posed by Indian languages.

Exploring Advanced Algorithms and Immersive Technologies

In the afternoon session, Dr. Venkateswara Rao Kagita from NIT Warangal and Dr. Vikas Kumar Pandey from Delhi University will take participants through the Matrix Factorization Applications in Recommender Systems and Multi-Label Classification. This tutorial will delve into the powerful applications of matrix factorization, a mathematical tool widely used in recommendation systems and complex classification problems. The session promises practical knowledge on implementing advanced algorithms to solve real-world challenges, a must-attend for those interested in data science and machine learning.

Simultaneously, Dr. Rajesh Kumar Tavva and Dr. Raghu Kishore Neelisetti, both Assistant Professors at Mahindra University, will conduct a hands-on workshop on AR/VR Development with Unity. Attendees of this session will learn the basics of AR and VR technology, with practical exercises to develop a working prototype using the Unity platform. This tutorial will not only introduce participants to immersive technologies but also provide them with the tools and workflow necessary to create their own AR/VR applications.

A Glimpse into the Future of Technology

With a stellar lineup of tutorials covering essential topics in advanced communication and machine intelligence, the pre-conference sessions at MICA 2024 promise to be an engaging and informative experience for all participants. Whether you're an academic, researcher, or industry professional, these tutorials offer a unique opportunity to dive deep into the latest technological advancements and acquire hands-on experience in high-demand fields.

Mark your calendar for October 17, 2024, and join Mahindra University as it brings together some of the brightest minds to explore the future of technology at MICA 2024.
