The Department of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Don Bosco Institute of Technology, Bengaluru was established in the year 2021-22, with an intake of 60 students. DBIT is permanently affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi, Karnataka.
The department has state-of-art infrastructure in terms of well-equipped laboratories and library for staff and students. It has qualified and experienced teaching faculty. It supports students to understand the fundamentals of AI & DS, apply them in design and development of projects to resolve complex, real-time problems. The department has got excellent ambience for research in diversified areas. The department has got a wide technical spectrum through the Centre of Excellence, Innovation lab, industry tie-ups, collaboration and MOUs.
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI & DS) is an emerging technology innovation that provides effective solutions to specific industry requirements that are either incompatible or infeasible for traditional technology.
Artificial intelligence is the humanoid thinking which is built into high speed, sophisticated and resourceful computing systems. Whereas typically, AI addresses the algorithmic part of the solutions space the DS extracts knowledge from structured and unstructured data.
The ability to visualize domain problems and leverage Engineering solutions in a specialized way with host of merits has thrown open multitude of applications to AI and DS. Robotics, Virtual Assistant, Finance, Chatbots, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Search Engines, Web scraping, Search based decision logic, Image processing, Speech Recognition, smart manufacturing and Gaming are some of the potential domains where AI & DS are extensively employed.
This Under Graduate Programme in AI & DS, to begin with, imparts an in-depth knowledge of the mathematical foundations required to build AI systems ground-up. Fundamental courses that embody the principles and techniques of AI, DS and Machine Learning (ML) constitute the second significant part of the curriculum. The third significant part of the curriculum endows the students with programming skills in Java, C/C++, Python and R programming languages. With this comprehensive curriculum, this Programme targets to equip students to build solutions for complex engineering problems.
