Basics of Artificial Intelligence

Seminar Course

Total hours: 12hrs Faculty: Ashok K Harnal & Prof (Dr) Sunita Daniel

It is proposed to hold a series of Eight Workshop sessions to cover basics of

Artificial Intelligence with applications in HR, Marketing, Advertising and Finance.
The course content is given below. It is a preliminary course with the primary
objective e of generating awareness in participants as to how machine learning
works.

We will use KNIME, a powerful data analytics tool. It has a set of industry standard
AI libraries with Graphical User Interface to perform Artificial Intelligence operations.
We will not be using any language to perform modelling. That is, the workshops will
NOT use python or R language. While conducting workshops datasets will be picked
up from different disciplines to demonstrate how learning proceeds and how
Analytics can be used for predictive purposes in different domains. We will also learn
other related aspects, for example, to how to assess model performance.

The topics covered will be:

Subject Hours
Introduction to Big Data and Machine 1
Learning
Clustering 0.5
K-means 1
Hierarchical 1
Simple Natural Language 2
Processing
Predictive Analytics
Decision Trees 1.5
Random Forest 1.5
Gradient Boosting Machines 2
Simple Natural Language 1.5
Processing—Sentiment analysis

Software installation:
Students will have to install KNIME, R and R-packages on their laptops.
Installation process is simple. It is explained in detail in the attached pdf
document ‘KNIME, R, python and keras installation’. If during installation you
face any issues, please send me an email at: ashok@fsm.ac.in.
Students may be given simple Exercises with datasets to reinforce subjects
learnt in the class.
