    Expert Mr. Likesh kolhe shared their insights, real life scenarios, practical use cases and their solutions on Big data. The session started with a keynote lecture on Big data Analytics provided the insights of Keras libraries and applications for big data. Big Data predictive analytics using machine learning techniques is currently a much active area of research. Keras is an API designed for human beings, not machines. Keras follows best practices for reducing cognitive load: it offers consistent & simple APIs, it minimizes the number of user actions required for common use cases, and it provides clear & actionable error messages. The session is organised with the objective to get industry exposure of advanced topics which are beyond the syllabus.

    The session ended with a vote of thanks by Ms. Monisha Mohan on behalf of the IT department.

    Informative session conducted by the expert. Expert shared views on following points which was very helpful to manage stress level in human.as every human experiences stress in their life. This stress can lead to many problems, particularly depression. Stress can increase a person’s heart beat rate, blood pressures, Cortisol level and various other parameters. There are conventional methods to reduce stress i.e. by consuming antibiotic medicine. But this method might have side effects. The other way which may be used to reduce stress is by listening to musical ragas. This is known as music therapy. Music therapy helps a person to calm down his brain waves. This in turn would reduce stress of a person and consequently all the parameters of stress i.e. heartbeat, blood pressure, Cortisol level might also reduce. To confirm whether music therapy is effective on stress we would use the concept of IOT (Internet of Things). IOT is a concept in which machine interact with the human world. This interaction is possible due to sensors. In our project we would use sensors to measure the parameters of stress. This would help to keep track of person’s record in real time.
