concerns the design, planning, direction, and control of all the facilities, processes and required activities to
transform labour, capital, materials, energy, and skills into performance and delivery of service. Good
service organization performs the operations functions of planning, scheduling, equipment operation,
quality control, record keeping, and human resource management for maintaining efficient usefulness. This

Significance of the Project Report: Many learners underestimate the significance of a project report
and make a mistake of thinking that excellent marks can be scored by simply producing a good lay-out.
This is fundamentally not the case as many projects are graded well below their potential because of an
indifferent or poor write-up. In order to acquire the right balance, a learner should consider the aim behind
making a good project. It provides the opportunity for a learner to demonstrate independence and
originality, to plan and organize the project work, and to put into practice some of the techniques a learner
has been taught throughout theprogram.
Meaning of a Project: The word project actually means something that comes before anything else is
done. A project can be defined as a temporary endeavour undertaken to achieve a particular aim or it is a
study of factual information for comprehending and applying the various concepts of the course into
practice. In simple words, a project can be understood as a practice of verification or demonstration of
concepts or processeslearnt.
Learners are allowed to take up any topic of their interest and choice for project work. It is also a technique
of self-learning and learning by doing. It has a practical value. The purpose of the project is not to
generalize but to study the situation with a practical orientation.
Complete guidelines for a project work proposal, guide, approval of the project, actually carrying project
work, report writing, submission details will be provided by the Institute at the appropriatetime.

Course Description:
Artificial intelligence has a wide range of uses in businesses, including streamlining job processes and
aggregating business data. Researchers aren’t exactly sure what artificial intelligence means for the future
of business, specifically as it relates to blue-collar jobs. AI is expected to take digital technology out of the
two-dimensional screen and bring it into the three-dimensional physical environment surrounding an
individual. “Artificial intelligence” is a broad term that refers to any type of computer software that
engages in humanlike activities – including learning, planning, and problem-solving. Calling specific
applications “artificial intelligence” is like calling a car a “vehicle” – it’s technically correct, but it doesn’t
cover any of the specifics.

Course Description:
This course is an introduction to deep learning, a branch of machine learning concerned with the
development and application of modern neural networks. Deep learning algorithms extract layered high-
level representations of data in a way that maximizes performance on a given task. For example, asked to
recognize faces, a deep neural network may learn to represent image pixels first with edges, followed by
larger shapes, then parts of the face like eyes and ears, and, finally, individual face identities.
Deep learning is behind many recent advances in AI, including Siri’s speech recognition, Facebook’s tag
suggestions, and self-driving cars. We will cover a range of topics from basic neural networks,
convolutional and recurrent network structures, deep unsupervised and reinforcement learning, and
applications to problem domains like speech recognition and computer vision. Prerequisites: a strong
mathematical background in calculus, linear algebra, and probability & statistics (students will be required
to pass a math prerequisites test), as well as programming in Python and C/C++. There will be assignments
and a final project.
