Aren't mathematics and computer science insanely related? The basis of artificial intelligence is the theory of probability and the groundwork of software development is data structures and algorithms. WIE IEEE Ahmedabad University SB, along with WIE IEEE MBIT SB, WIE IEEE Gujarat Section, and in association with Clique community brings to you a session on "Interactive Session on Mathematics and Computer Science" to discuss with us the importance of basics in the most admired fields of technology advancements. It gives us immense pleasure to have Jenish Mehta(Ph.D. at Caltech in theoretical computer science), to discuss with us the importance of basics in the most admired fields of technology advancements. Date: July 3, 2021 (Saturday) Time: 4:00 P.M. IST Speaker(s): Jenish Mehta, Agenda: Interactive discussion session on algorithms and probability theory models.

It’s been more than a year since the nationwide lockdown in light of the coronavirus pandemic, wherein most of us have settled into the new normal of working in the online space. However, this situation has also affected learning Institutions; schools, colleges & academies, who have adapted to the remote learning practices as their main means of academic instruction. Due to which children and young adults spend more than 12hrs of their time on the digital space to encompass learning; in addition to the time spent to engage in social media practices. Thus exposing themselves to the possible dangers of Cyber offenses/crimes. So, in order to create cyber awareness, IEEE Ahmedabad University Student Branch along with IEEE CIS Gujarat Section brings you a session ' Be a CyberSaathi' in collaboration with Safecity Project and Red Dot Foundation Program. This is a 2-hour session arranged on July 21, 2021, from 2:00 PM onwards. It will be to empower children through spreading awareness on cyber threats and vulnerabilities and remedies in law, thereby enabling them to become the first level peer support system for child victims.

Abstract: Recent advancement of research in biometrics, computer vision, and natural language processing has discovered opportunities for person retrieval from surveillance videos using a textual query. The prime objective of a surveillance system is to locate a person using a description, e.g., a tall man with a white t-shirt and blue jeans carrying a backpack. He has brown hair. Such a description contains attributes like gender, height, type of clothing, colour of clothing, hair colour, and accessories. Such attributes are formally known as soft biometrics. They help bridge the semantic gap between a human description and a machine as a textual query contains the person's soft biometric attributes. Traditional biometric (e.g., face) fails to locate a person in the surveillance video due to low resolution, distance, and unconstrained environment. In such cases, soft biometric attributes like gender, clothing colour, and type are still deducible. It is also not feasible to manually search through huge volumes of surveillance footage to retrieve a specific person. Hence, automatic person retrieval using vision and language-based algorithms is becoming popular. Date: 26.07.2021 Time: 11.00 am to 11.50 am: 35 Mins talk + 15 Mins.
