New Delhi (India), December 03: KnowDis and School of AI, IIT Delhi, have jointly organized the third edition of the online conference that looks to bring together leading experts from all over the world for a meeting of the minds. Hearing these discussions will stimulate the minds of young researchers to push the frontiers of AI even further and help India to become a leader in this field, a small step from our end to live up to the dream of our PM Shri Narendra Modi for Digital India.
Highlights of the Conference
The conference started with Invoking blessings of Ganesh and Saraswati, shlok rendition by Shrinvias Joshi and Viraj Joshi, Son and grandson of the legendary Pt. Bhimsen Joshi.
The KnowDis Machine Learning Award has been presented to Prof. Partha Talukdar of IISc Bangalore, and he spoke about: Recent advances in Multilingual Representation Learning an opportunity to transfer knowledge and supervision from high web-resource languages to languages with lower web resources.
The Keynote address was delivered by Dr Shailesh Kumar, Chief Data Scientist at Reliance Jio, and he shared insights about Ashtaang AI- an eight-layer stack to form the building blocks of an “AI Architecture” for Complex ecosystems of the future – Telecom, Retail, Manufacturing, Smart Cities
Dr. Manish Gupta is the head of Google AI India, and he talked about how AI begins to impact various aspects of our lives. There is a need to combine it with a better understanding of the drivers of human behavior.
Mr. Saurabh Singal, CEO of KnowDis talked about the use of AI in Drug Discovery. He shared insights that there are many rare diseases that impact less than one person in one million. There are over 5,000 of such diseases, and because of this rareness, even a very experienced physician might not have seen a single patient in his lifetime. AI-based applications can not only retrieve such symptoms but also perform meaningful diagnostics. He also described the role of AI in the discovery of new drug molecules.
Mr. Mark Moraes, Head of Engineering, D. E. Shaw Research, described their massively parallel supercomputer Anton 3, which achieves simulation speeds at least 100-fold faster than the fastest general-purpose supercomputers. This supercomputer enables research in drug discovery.
Dr. Vikram Mulligan, Research Scientist at the Flatiron Institute, New York, talked about Practical Quantum Computing for Peptide Drug Discovery
Dr Avantika Lal, Senior Scientist at Insitro talked about how Deep learning models can be used to learn patterns in epigenomic data from human cells in order to prioritize sequence variants and propose biological mechanisms linking these variants to an individual’s risk of disease.
There was a special Panel Discussion on AI for chess. This Panel discussion featured GM Parimarjan Negi, Chess Master and PhD student at Computer Science & AI Lab, MIT.
Along with WIM, Natasha Regan, an award-winning chess author, is best known for her book Game Changer. This session was moderated by Saurabh Singal@Knowdis.

Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks
I am glad to be a visitor of this gross site! , regards for this rare info ! .
Hi , I do believe this is an excellent blog. I stumbled upon it on Yahoo , i will come back once again. Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you be rich and help other people.
certainly like your website but you have to test the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the reality then again I will definitely come back again.
Whoa! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Excellent choice of colors!
I don’t ordinarily comment but I gotta tell thanks for the post on this special one : D.
Keep working ,remarkable job!
Well I truly liked studying it. This tip offered by you is very helpful for proper planning.
This is very interesting, You’re a very professional blogger. I have joined your rss feed and stay up for looking for more of your fantastic post. Additionally, I’ve shared your site in my social networks!
Thank you for sharing with us, I think this website truly stands out : D.
You need to take part in a contest for top-of-the-line blogs on the web. I will advocate this website!
I enjoy the efforts you have put in this, appreciate it for all the great articles.
Perfectly written content, Really enjoyed examining.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
Regards for helping out, great information.
great points altogether, you simply gained a new reader. What would you recommend in regards to your post that you made a few days ago? Any positive?
I’ve been surfing online greater than 3 hours lately, but I never found any interesting article like yours. It is beautiful value sufficient for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the net will probably be much more helpful than ever before. “Oh, that way madness lies let me shun that.” by William Shakespeare.
Very interesting points you have observed, thankyou for putting up.
