It also has backend infrastructure to store, process, and archive large volumes of data.
“Today, our world is becoming increasingly data-centric, and along with AI, it continues to transform the way we live, work and do business. The Samsung SEED lab is a great initiative that gives the students the opportunity to learn and work under SRI-B engineers on research projects that address the issues facing the world” said Dr. Ashok Shettar, Vice-Chancellor, KLE Technological University, Hubballi, Karnataka.
All students will receive certificates for their contribution at the end of each project from SRI-B.
