 Why ML & AI Is The Most Innovative Career Opportunity

ML&AI is not only reshaping the Indian IT

industry but also remarking the business
landscape.

Almost 90% of the companies aim to integrate

AI in their processes in the next three years.

Companies across consumer, logistics, and
healthcare are searching for techies with fluency
in deep learning and disruptive technologies.

Industry players hailed the government’s

recent move to double the allocation for the
Digital India programme to Rs 3,073 for 2019
-- a decision that aims to promote ML, AI,
Robotics and other innovations in the country. Source: Twitter

Several Indian organizations and startups are

looking for top talents with an experience in
using cutting-edge technologies to build
advanced AI-related solutions.
According to a study, employers’ demand for
AI talents has more than doubled over the
past three years and the number of jobs has

increased by 119%.
Finding and attracting talented ML&AI
professionals has become a strategic
imperative for every company.

Thus, job seekers and technology professionals with

relevant technical skills can capitalize on this trend
and BE IN ‘GREAT’ DEMAND. “ Artificial intelligence (AI) will create
2.3 million jobs globally and become
a positive 'net job motivator' by 2020,

”
according to Gartner Inc.

in the case study is the real data set collected on six stations across river Yamuna.

Understand the dynamics of the epidemic disease using Machine learning

Timely management of an epidemic outbreak is crucial for public health organizations
so as to plan interventions to decrease or prevent transmission. In order to understand
the dynamics of epidemic and to control its further spread, machine learning
techniques can be very beneficial to predict the epidemic disease and to discover the
likelihood of the next outbreak of an epidemic.

Discovering dominant features in predicting Jaundice in Newborn babies

Normal newborn infants are discharged to home within 24-48 hours of delivery. A
small proportion of them goes on to develop high levels of Jaundice within 14 days of
life, which can lead to irreversible brain damage, if not diagnosed and treated in time.
Hence, to automate the process of accurate prediction of Jaundice in newborn babies,
we will develop a suite of classification techniques in machine learning to find the best
model that can be used for this healthcare domain.

Machine learning to analyse road traffic conditions to minimize casualties

Road accidents are very common on national highways. To help decision-makers to

connected with different injury severity. In this case study, you will learn to apply
predictive and descriptive techniques in machine learning on the real data set of
national highway to discover interesting insights.
