“Machine learning is a field of study that gives computers the ability to

learn without being explicitly programmed [Arthur Samuel, 1959]. A computer
program is said to learn from experience E from some task T and some performance
measure P. If its P on T improves with experience E [Tom Mitchell, 1997]“.
 She explained the importance of machine learning and artificial
intelligence which redefines the computing and also it is one of the fastest growing
technologies. AI finds places in interdisciplinary research. Machine learning is easy
to use in finding the problems in different manners which includes identification of
disease, sentimental analysis etc…The machine learning is used with problem
where there is no deterministic algorithms and problem which don’t have any fixed
solutions, SPAM E-mails, financial fraud, IT security framework. Machine learning
is similar to black box testing in software engineering it is mainly used in data
analytics for predictive analysis, descriptive analysis, and prescriptive analysis
techniques.

Applications of Machine Learning:

Identification of cancer
Market value of houses
Who are good friends
Will this rocket engine explode on take off
She also explained how to develop a module using machine learning mechanism
and the steps involved in machine learning are as follows,

1. Get Data
2. Clear, prepare & manipulate data
3. Train model
4. Test data
5. Improve
She further continued the session with where we want to apply the machine learning
effectively, it involves,


Computer Vision – image classification , object detection
 
Speech & Audio – Voice recognition, language translation

 Resource Directions – image recognition, face recognition, pattern

recognition, medical services, and bio informatics.
Finally, she ended up the session with giving more ideas for the research
scholars to do their research in machine learning by using the readymade software’s
of ML , and added that the researchers want to create an intermediate modules to
carry over the research works based on novelty, originality and creativity.

Overall, the session was very useful for the students to gain more

She gave a brief introduction on cloud storage on how it was one of the first to
be all web-based, and referenced in their commercials as we can think of our
electronic meeting place as the cloud.

Amazon Web Services introduced their cloud storage service AWS S3 in 2006,
and has gained widespread recognition and adoption as the storage supplier to
popular services such as SmugMug, Dropbox, and Pinterest. It also enabled
online file sharing and personal cloud content management service for
businesses and was explained in detail in AWS.

She explained us about Amazon Web Services (AWS) which was started to
offer IT services to the market in the form of web services, which is nowadays
known as cloud computing. With this cloud, we need not plan for servers and
other IT infrastructure which takes up much of time in advance. Instead, these
services can instantly spin up hundreds or thousands of servers in minutes and
deliver results faster. We pay only for what we use with no up-front expenses
and no long-term commitments, which makes AWS cost efficient.
 She highlighted that AWS provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-
cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers multitude of businesses in
190 countries around the world.
