Beyond AI
Beyond AI is a program for high schoolers and undergrad students from all around the world, which builds foundations of Artificial Intelligence from absolute zero. The participants are asked to prepare for a one-month-long period, where they learn from various domains such as programming, linear algebra, calculus, LaTeX, et cetera. This preparatory phase is followed by six weeks of a learning phase (which ends next week at the end of the consolidation week) and lastly, the research phase, where we research on one of the many provided research topics.
Reflection:
The program has been really rigorous, yet very profound in the way the things are approached. The coursework starts from the very basics and takes your level up gradually. I really like the way Dr. Filip Bar engages with us in live classes and breaks down complex ideas into manageable tasks (mind maps are one of the strategies he has sharpened us on). The program cut through all of the buzzwords initially and began with exactly what the foundations of learning Artificial Intelligence are. I express my deepest gratitude to be chosen for such a prestigious and rigorous program, and for the fact that I learned so much. I am excited to work on my research topic during the research phase. Some of the blogs in the coming months will focus on my research and what I have been working on there. Stay tuned for that.
As of now, I am not able to figure out how I can optimize my blogs nicely so that the viewers can engage with comments without internet bots spamming my comment section. One more thing which I am thinking to work on is a weekly newsletter subscription, where I will try to provide some things which I find profound, interesting, and useful. Stay tuned for whenever that happens (probably sometime in the future).
