Founded in August 2017, with a vision to become an internationally renowned centre for data science research, where long-standing fundamental research problems, cutting across disciplines, are targeted and solved.
MS / PhD applications are now being accepted, for both the January and July semesters. Admissions are also open for the Interdisciplinary MS / PhD programmes in data science.
Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding with the Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency here, to enhance data driven governence in education, health care and agriculture sectors.
Professor Ravindran B, who heads the Robert Bosch Centre for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at IIT-Madras, said: “We have worked on building AI based decision-making algorithms that allow us to adaptively learn controllers for driving. In particular, our group has explored the question of learning from demonstrations. These are largely laboratory experiments and have not yet been translated into real systems.”

ACCS, the Advanced Computing and Communications Society, announced Prof. V. Kamakoti of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras as the winner of the prestigious ACCS-CDAC Foundation award for 2018.
Researchers at the Robert Bosch Center for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence and Center for Computational Brain Research, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, and Purdue University have recently developed a new method of reducing computational requirements for object detection in videos using neural networks. Their technique, called Pack and Detect (PaD), was outlined in a paper pre-published on arXiv.
IT Madras has tied up with Northwestern University, US, for carrying out broad-based research collaboration in data science, web science, network science and computational social science.
Welcome to Northern Frontier, our video interview series that showcases in-depth and engaging conversations with some of the brightest academic minds in AI research today.
Professor Balaraman Ravindran of IIT Madras is one of the top Indian AI researchers in India and foremost reinforcement learning expert.
Reinforcement learning is a pretty complex topic to wrap your head around, as far as intellectual pursuits go. It’s also one of the hottest areas of AI research: MIT Technology Review picked it as one of the top 10 technologies of 2017. Read More
