 Date: 9th January 2020 – 10th January 2020

Day 1 : 9/1/2020

Chatbots are changing the way we interact with the world. Programming chatbots is a great way to work at the forefront of artificial intelligence. The FDP provides an introduction on how to build chatbots using DialogFlow and integrating it to background processes using Firebase methods.

Day 2 : 10/1/2020

Digital Image processing is a research area which finds its application in almost all fields. Image enhancement and segmentation is a crucial step towards image understanding and analysis. This FDP provides a fast paced introduction into the various image enhancement and segmentation techniques which enables the participants to choose appropriate techniques according to their application. An insight on the various companies doing research in this area is also provided. The tool preferred for implementation is MATLAB.
