Machine Learning in Medical Imaging
It was a part of the Tech-Fest at IIT Madras (Paradox'22). It was a theoritical workshop giving a brief overview of the applications of Machine Learning in diagnosing disease from medical images like MRI, CT Scans, Xrays etc. The major focus of the workshop was the steps involved in processing the images and how it was different from other image processing tasks. The process and challenges involved in creating the training data base for Machine Learning was also addressed.
Some Intersting topics addressed during the session were automated cardiac disease diagnosis, brain tumor segmentation etc..
Ethical Hacking
It was a hands-on workshop on penetration testing conducted by Sree Buddha College of Engineering, Pattoor. It was a step by step guide for discovering the vulnerabilities of a system. We were given a virtual system to do the task. It was very similar to and much simpler version of CTF (Capture The Flag). We were introduced to pen-testing tools like nmap, metasploit etc, in Kali Linux. We were also introduced to a wide variety of cyber attacks such as bruteforce, dictionary attack, reverse shell etc., Also it gave us a better overview of how internet works and some of its important protocols.
FOSSMeet
It was a 2 day event on Free and Open Source Software, conducted at the National Institute Of Technology, Calicut by the FOSS Community. It was a good introduction towards the possibilities and opportunities of Open Source Softwares and how they changed the world. We were introduced to many open source softwares like linux, github etc,.
I also had the opportunity to attend hands-on workshop on "GoLang" and "web automation with selenium" during the event.
PyCEC
It was the first Python Student Conference and it was conducted by the Forum of Computer Engineering Student (FOCES) at the College of Engineering, Chengannur. I was fortunate to be a part of the event organising team, and that was a great experience.
The Event was basically a display of the power and simplicity of python language. We had different hands-on session and some of them were on Image processing, web scraping, Machine Learning etc. It gave us an awareness of the power of Python Language, the idea that such complex task can be done with few lines of code without any complicated syntax was awsome.
