Vision

The Vision of the Machine Intelligence and Data Analytics Research Centre MIDARC is to become a world class, self- sustaining research centre that provides an integral platform for synergizing research potential in realizing the best-of-breed, state-of-art business solutions through the deployment of cutting-edge technologies and applications.

Mission

The Mission of the centre is to maximize the use of resources and facilities in order to emerge as a full-fledged research centre with a diverse portfolio of research projects funded by top nodal funding organizations

Machine Intelligence and Data Analysis Research Centre (MIDARC) was founded in collaboration with two international partners Stevens Institute of Technology, USA as Academic partner and Machine Intelligence Research (MIR) Labs, USA a global non-profit academic consortium and IBM as an industry partner. The aim of establishing this centre is to provide a vital and perfect platform for the research scholars to coordinate and focus their diverse domain specific research acumen in producing a cutting-edge technical solution and applications to a persisting business challenge. The incubation of this Centre MIDARC happens to fall in line with time when the contemporary digital world is governed by Computational Intelligence, Big Data Analytics and Cognitive Computing.

Research Areas

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Big data Analytics, Natural Language Processing and Cognitive Computing

• AI GPU Deep Learning Lab with IBM Minsky Server with 2 NVidia P100 GPU with NVlink Technology
