"Greetings from the department of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning(AI&ML)."
It gives me immense pleasure to introduce the department and its Web pages. With the rapid growth of the technology development in the world, the artificial intelligent systems are becoming a part of life. Therefore, the main goal of the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CSE) department is to give high-quality technical education in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The development of intellectual skills that support the growth of career advancement depends on lifelong learning. To improve students' abilities and understanding in the field of computer science and its cutting-edge technologies, we adopt an outcome-based teaching and learning process (AI&ML). Nowadays, with the rapid growth of internet usage from large scale industries to small scale industries and from urban to rural areas due to availability of internet with high-speed broadband, the users have adopted internet as a part of life. With the use of the internet and advanced technologies, the society is consequently facing numerous challenges. The department focuses on these issues, helps students and staff members comprehend them, and inspires them to develop technology solutions to deal with these challenges. We encourage and support the students and staff members of department in research, innovations and entrepreneurship activities to provide technological solutions to the relevant challenges of society. And we are confident that our students, who have a solid understanding of computer basics and real-world experience, will be able to quickly adjust to changes in technology or the software business. In this regard, it gives me immense pleasure to invite you all to be part of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Department to take it to the greater hights.
One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. - Elbert Hubbard (Author). Therefore, become an extraordinary man and I wish you all the best and have great academic careers.
