IEEE Power & Energy Society Christ University Student Branch chapter organized a Technical Talk on Two Artificial Intelligence in Electrical Engineering on 9th June 2018, Saturday. The workshop was handled by Mrs. Kusumika Krori Dutta who is a Assistant Professor associated with Department of Electrical Engineering, MSRIT, Bengaluru. Her areas of interest are image and signal processing, neural networks, machine learning and electric vehicle.

Artificial Intelligence is defined as intelligence exhibited by machines, but build or trained by human beings   to think and act   based on their applications. Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques are now being used by the practicing engineer to solve a whole range of practical problems. The Technical talk started with an interactive session with students on basics of AI. She explained why and how AI entered into engineering field,   principles of ANN, Machine learning and Deep learning and a mimicking of the system. The resource person  gave a gist to the students about the  Real-time intelligent automation, and their associated supporting methodologies and techniques, including control theory and industrial informatics. She also mentioned a few Architectures, algorithms and techniques for distributed AI systems, including multi-agent based control • Decision-support systems. A brief on  Metaheuristics and their applications in intelligent automation and global optimization including Evolutionary Algorithms, swarm intelligence, nature and biologically inspired metaheuristics were introduced. The significance of Neural networks, fuzzy systems, neuro-fuzzy systems,  and the scope of Deep learning in real world applications were also discussed. Madam also explained the basics of image processing, pattern recognition supervised and unsupervised learning along with examples and its applications to power system.  The programme concluded with few exercises on machine learning and deep learning.
