World’s Largest Combustion Research Centre At IIT Madras
The world’s largest combustion research centre which will impart a major boost to the Indian scientific community was inaugurated at the Indian Institute of Technology.
It will provide an impetus to research in Alternative Energy and Environmental Protection by focusing on effective utilisation of combustion as a means of thermo-chemical energy conversion.
IIT Madras Develops Algorithms That Learn Like Humans
IIT Madras researchers construct their own algorithm that learn like human beings. What they build into the algorithm is not just learning, but learning from mistakes as well.
There are two parts to engineering this – one involves incorporating features into the neural network that will get the program to recognize parts of the screen .The other part involves making associations between utilities and action – for instance deciding whether to move left or right based on a specific pattern on the screen.
