Unlocking the Mystery of AI & ML: A Journey of Discovery with Ravi Khare

The Venture Center library had the pleasure of hosting Ravi for a session on Demystifying AI/ML

From understanding the fundamentals of AI and ML to pondering who truly becomes intelligent, learns, and teaches in this digital age, we left no stone unturned. We even dove into the realm of Reinforcement Learning and how AI is trained, shedding light on the inner workings of these fascinating technologies.
But perhaps the most profound takeaway from our session was this: amidst the hype and excitement surrounding AI and ML, it’s essential to remember that the true sources of joy often lie beyond the realm of algorithms and data. As our speaker aptly emphasized, many of life’s most precious moments don’t require AI or ML—they simply require human connection and genuine experiences.
So, as we continue to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology, let us not forget the power of simplicity, human connection, and the joy found in the little things. Together, let’s embark on a journey of discovery—one where the wonders of AI and ML are met with a deep appreciation for the beauty of human experience.

Venture Center Library organized an enlightening talk by Mrinalini Sanchan on “How to Build Your Social Media Strategy From Scratch,” on 19th January 2024

Here are the top 3 takeaways from this talk:

1. Content is NO longer king: It’s the emperor now! Quality content is the bridge, but engagement is the destination. The journey through cyber space taught us that it’s not just about what you say; it’s about how you make your audience feel.

2. Importance of knowing your customers: The more you know, the more you grow! Tailoring content for your audience is the secret sauce. Understanding their needs, desires, and digital habits is the compass that guides you to the heart of your community.

3. Patience, Persistence, and Consistency: The Holy Trinity of Cracking Social Media! Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a robust online presence. Shoutout to Mrinalini for reinforcing the power of endurance in this dynamic journey through the cyber wilderness.

Namrata Salwe and Vaishanvi Pote presented a knowledge sharing workshop hosted by the Venture Center Library on improving your understanding of data charts and graphs. The presentation did a good job of presenting basic graphs and charts.

Beyond the headlines of successful drugs lie untold tales of perseverance.

The Venture Center library had the privilege of hosting an Author Talk by Dr. Narendra Chirmule on ‘Good Genes Gone bad’

He took us through interesting stories and anecdotes from the book. He dwelled on why he wrote the book and why it is important to note the good times and the bad as human beings.

It was a highly engaging session and the audience didn’t hold back with the questions. We spoke about precision medicine, gene therapy, the ethics of animal testing, and a lot more. Have you read the book?

The Venture Center library regularly hosts such unique events.
