This course, designed to provide an introduction to AI and ML, will run from August 19 to August 23, 2024.
Interested participants can apply through: elearning.iirs.gov.in.
Registration approval is automatic, and login credentials for the ISRO Learning Management System (LMS) will be issued upon successful registration. The course is part of the IIRS Outreach Programme, which has grown significantly since it started in 2007.
Originally launched with 12 universities and institutions, the programme now encompasses over 3,500 network institutes, including academic institutions, government departments, research institutes, geospatial industries, and NGOs.
Course Curriculum
The course covers a wide range of topics, including:
- Introduction to AI/ML and Deep Learning (DL).
- Supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning
