The Machine Learning Centre of Excellence (MLCOE) under the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, organized the two-day workshop “TRAINED & TUNED’25" on May 15-16 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at CSIT Seminar Hall. Organized particularly for first- and second-year students keen on learning machine learning, the workshop provided free registration and saw a huge turnout of 164 students, creating an atmosphere conducive to learning, collaborative work, and innovation.

The event gave a broad overview of machine learning, beginning with Python programming basics and advancing to state-of-the-art AI topics like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Transformer models, and Generative AI. The sessions were conducted by second- and third-year MLCOE students who were filled with enthusiasm, presenting interactive lectures, live coding sessions, and hands-on mini-projects to enable practical learning of important concepts like data types, conditionals, loops, functions, and basic data structures. The workshop also presented cutting-edge AI applications through the live demonstration of an industry-level chatbot, which showcased real-world applications of contemporary AI technologies.

The participants were also motivated through project exhibitions, such as creative uses like Hill Climb Racing, Navilaw, and YogiFix, that showed the potential of AI in areas like natural language processing, computer vision, and automation. These exhibitions pointed towards the potential of students developing their own AI-powered solutions. Interactive quizzes were also carried out during the event in order to keep the participants engaged and consolidated learning, generating excitement and active involvement.
