Govt. of India under its IRHPA (Intensification of Research in
High Priority Areas) scheme. Its features are listed below: |
|
|
|
Conducting basic research in
pattern recognition, machine
learning, image and video analysis, computational theory of perception,
granular computing, cognitive vision, thinking machine, data mining, web
intelligence, fuzzy sets, rough sets, neural networks, support vector
machines, evolutionary algorithms, particle swarm optimization, hybrid
techniques etc., |
|
|
Demonstrating applications to some focused areas like bioinformatics,
video surveillance, remotely sensed image analysis, biometrics, web
mining, social network analysis, spatiotemporal data analysis and
medical image analysis. |
|
|
Supervising the work for Ph.D. and
Masters degree theses. |
|
|
Conducting value addition Certificate
Courses on Machine Intelligence and Soft Computing for postgraduate
degree holders in order to enable them to join IT related research or
teaching institutes or industries. |
|
|
Nurturing and upgrading soft
computing community and institutes like NITs, & CDAC in
the country by conducting collaborating projects, evaluating project
proposals for funding them by DST through the center and monitoring the
progress. |
|
|
Providing fellowships to faculty and
scholars from less endowed institutions in the country to work at the
center for quality improvement. |
|
|
Imparting training to researchers/students from industry and academia
including R&D labs; providing training to government officials; and
offering regular short term advanced courses on upcoming research areas. |
|
|
Providing a forum
of exchanging ideas or establishing a linkage among scientists
of leading institutions and industry working
in similar areas through visits to the center on invitation.
