Lecture - Design Thinking

This week we had a session with Mandeep Singh Kwatria on Design Thinking to help thinking about good innovative ideas. Design Thinking is a design methodology that provides a solution-based approach to solving problems. It’s extremely useful in tackling complex problems that are ill-defined or unknown, by understanding the human needs involved, by re-framing the problem in human-centric ways, by creating many ideas in brainstorming sessions, and by adopting a hands-on approach in prototyping and testing.
The three Design Thinking Phases are:
  • Inspire
  • Ideate
  • Implement 
A ground-breaking innovation will be desirable, feasible and viable.

Paddy Crop Project

Along with other work, we also had a project from one of our professors related to paddy (confidential) which we worked on using the knowledge we got in this internship.

Statistics By Sehra Sir We had been having sessions with Sukhjit Sehra Sir on statistics since the past week. This week we learned about the following topics: Probability and Probability Distributions Probability theory developed from the study of games of chance like dice and cards.  A process like flipping a coin, rolling a die or drawing a card from a deck is called probability experiments.  An outcome is a specific result of a single trial of a probability experiment. Probability Distributions Probability theory is the foundation for statistical inference.  A probability distribution is a device for indicating the values that a random variable may have.  There are two categories of random variables.  These are discrete random variables and continuous random variables. Discrete random variable The probability distribution of a discrete random variable specifies all possible values of a discrete random variable along with their respective probabilities. Example

After completing my news article recommender last week the upcoming week brought me opportunity to explore a library for high dimensional space visualization t-SNE , I was told by my mentor Mr.Vikram Jha to explore it and tell insights. t-SNE t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) is a ( prize-winning ) technique for dimensionality reduction that is particularly well suited for the visualization of high-dimensional datasets. Before jumping to t-SNE i knew about old technique of dimensionality reduction that is PCA,  Principal Component Analysis, I first studied in ISB videos but when Sarabjot sir explained,it  became thorough PCA Principal component analysis (PCA) is a technique used to emphasize variation and bring out strong patterns in a dataset. It's often used to make data easy to explore and visualize.

In this week , we continued with deep learning course lecture no.2 "The neural net as a universal approximator" which includes recap of previous lecture related to perceptron and its firing condition.After that we first learned about deep layer structures,then we move on to multilayer perceptrons and how it is used to evaluate boolean expression , learning geometrical shapes and also learnt about required optimal depth for a neural network. Another task was given to us by Sehra sir i.e. hypothesis testing and z-statistics assignment using R.There were 3-4 assignments which was supposed to be completed in 3 days. We also watched Danko sir's lecture no.2 .The lecture was about first understandig human level intelligence and how can we achieve that in computers.He taught us about electic models and specialized models also.
