Machine Learning... The current hottest topics in IT and all the technologies related are having huge scope in shaping the future of work and jobs. This tells us how important is to know and to get updated with all these emerging technologies. Even this generated curiosity in us to know about them. 

Frankly, being 2nd-year students, for us, all these were strange. Like we knew no more than their definitions indeed. In short, I can say that we were curious about machine learning but have no idea where to start. 

In my case, I was the one who tried reading the Wikipedia article, got frustrated and gave up wishing someone would just give a brief basic-level explanation. I think this was even the case of many.

Well, students only can understand their co-students. Our so-called college seniors can even better understand their juniors regarding this case. Right!! Because they were the ones who reached that stage from our level.   And in this case, our seniors in SREC are very much bothered and responsive minded about their junior's whatever it may be like academics and always come forward in guiding us relatively.

Thus with the aim to acknowledge us about emerging technologies, Learner's Echo Machine Learning workshop was organized in SREC.

 Learner's Echo Machine Learning workshop was held on 28 & 29 of June in SREC by Coding Club of SREC. Learner's Echo is a student organization of SREC which had held 4 workshops till now by great efforts of its head M. Saiteja (IV Year) and his team under the guidance of Promod Kumar Sir (Sr. Asst Professor, CSE). And this Machine learning workshop was the 5th one. 

Believe it or not, once the registration link was opened at 7.p.m on 26th June, within 45 sec all the seats were filled as there were limited seats. Even I was among those who were waiting for the spot registration. And luckily, I was allocated a seat. Majority of the students who attended this workshop belong to 2nd year.

First apart, there was a basic introduction session regarding Machine learning and its real-time applications. Later on, we were taught the Fundamentals of Python by Shashank bro (IV year). Next, the topics related to Supervise learning were dealt with. Like Linear Regression (single variable, multivariable) was explained by Si Ram bro (IV year). All these were covered on the 1st day of the workshop.

Next, on the second day, the hugely important part about coding - Logistic Regression (uni, multivariable) was held from basics by Krishna Teja bro (III year). Finally, a piece of brief basic information about  Neural Networks was given by Kaushal bro (IV year). SaiTeja bro simultaneously covered every session for ease of better understanding of the concepts. We had a great experience as it was totally a practical session.

Thus finally,  I could say that the workshop was very helpful to us. Though the depth of it was not covered, it was a start which created curiosity in us to explore more about Machine Learning. Thus, would hope that many such workshops would be held by Learner's echo with more seats further on and continue sharing knowledge. Because, "Knowledge is power, Knowledge shared is power multiplied".
