KATHUA: UIET, Kathua Campus (JU) successfully organized a one-day workshop on the topic "Build for AI" in collaboration with GDG (Google Developer Group) Jammu. The event provided an excellent platform for students to explore the evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI), connect with industry experts, and gain insights into emerging technologies. The workshop featured an engaging and insightful session by Rishiraj Acharya, an esteemed AI expert from Kolkata. He is India’s first Google Developer Expert (GDE) in Machine Learning specializing in Generative AI and Keras. All the members of GDG, Jammu also interacted with the students.
The workshop commenced with a formal welcome address by Dr. Rockey Gupta, I/c Principal, UIET, along with faculty members and students. The workshop was conducted in two informative sessions. The first session featured an insightful and detailed presentation by the expert on "Fine-Tuning Usage-Specific LLMs for On-Device Apps", shedding light on how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be customized and effectively integrated into on-device applications. He elaborated on how on-device fine-tuning enables AI-powered applications to function locally on user devices without relying heavily on cloud processing. Mr. Acharya demonstrated how fine-tuning allows LLMs to adapt to specific language patterns, contexts, and user preferences, making them more effective for personalized experiences.
Further the session also covered practical applications of fine-tuned LLMs, including their use in virtual assistants, predictive text, voice recognition systems, and real-time language translation. Following the technical session, Mr. Acharya interacted with the students, discussing the future career opportunities in Artificial Intelligence and its growing significance in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) field.
