Report:

The Webinar, being organized as part of celebrations of 75th Anniversary of glorious independence of the India, was held in the benign presence of senior dignitaries from all collaborating societies and chapters. The webinar was aimed to give a comprehensive view of Deep and Shallow Learning that can be applied to enhance the intelligence and the capabilities of an application. Prof. Subrata Mukhopadhyay, Chairperson, CNA Group and Former Chairperson, IEEE Delhi Section gave welcome address and introduced the topic to the participants. Prof. M. N. Hoda, Director, BVICAM and Vice Chairperson, IEEE Delhi Section, welcomed the dignitaries and the participants. He emphasized and motivated the participants to keep learning continuously regardless of disruptions, all around us. He also focused that how Deep learning methods which are a subset of machine learning and artificial intelligence, have gained popularity because they often outperform conventional (i.e., shallow) machine learning methods and can extract features automatically from raw data with little or no preprocessing.
By Prof. P. N. Suganthan, SCI Highly Cited Researcher 2015-2021, FIEEE Co-Editor-in-Chief, Swarm and Evolutionary Computation (SCI Indexed Elsevier Journal) Nanyang Technological University, Singapore was the lead speaker of the webinar. He discussed in detail about the Randomization-based learning algorithms and how these methods have attracted much attention in recent years. He explained the different popular algorithms and how they are being currently applied. He also discussed the limitations of each algorithm alongwith their individual challenges.

The session concluded with Question & Answer session where participants willingly asked their queries. Prof. M. N. Hoda gave his heartfelt appreciation to Prof. P. N. Suganthan for his valuable session. He also thanked all the participants and panellist for giving their precious time in attending this webinar and making all the webinars hosted by BVICAM, a huge success. Dr. Ritika Wason, Associate Professor, BVICAM, New Delhi and Ms. Ayushi Chopra, Assistant Professor, BVICAM, were the conveners of the webinar and has coordinated the entire webinar. The other faculty members of BVICAM; Mr. Uttam Singh Bist was working at the backend to make it successful and present it in seamless manner to the participants. The webinar attracted huge participation from across the world and Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Computer Applications and Management (BVICAM), New Delhi, proved itself, once again, as a perfect host.
