TUTORIAL TOPIC 1:
Multidimensional data can be represented as a tensor, multi-array, or multi-linear functionals without losing any information.
Mathematically, tensors are a generalization of the concepts of scalars, vectors, and matrices. Tensors occur naturally in this world, just like scalars, vectors, and matrices, with many video and machine learning applications. This tutorial focuses on the mathematical fundamentals of tensors and their application in data compression, machine learning, and other areas.

TUTORIAL TOPIC 2:
The objective of the workshop is to demonstrate the drone based common object detections which can be applied to satellite images too for common object detections.
Locating common objects like pedestrians, bikers and cars on roads is essential for city surveillance. This workshop presents a way that can help citywide speed up the pedestrian, bikers and car detection process by the use of drones. Any high number of presence of people, or cars can alert the authorities to take further actions. Drone technology is advancing at a rapid pace, improving drone capabilities whilst an increasingly competitive market is driving prices down. Drone capability is having an overall positive impact on society with its focus on usage in crisis and emergency response, search and rescue, automated shipping, the film industry, farming, environmental management, etc. This increases public surveillance and helps the concerned authorities to develop smart cities. Hands on using deep learning techniques of Yolov5 and other object detection techniques can help the system to detect common objects across the cities.
This orientation includes a participatory activity to introduce the concept of deep learning especially Convolution Neural Network for approaching problems in computer vision domain.

TUTORIAL TOPIC 3:
Human emotions account for a huge factor in their psychological and physical health. Hence, understanding human emotions is very important. Given the complexities of the human brain and its emotions, developing technologies to understand is a very challenging task. This workshop focuses on developing emotion models designed for humans. This workshop would cover topics such as collecting data and exploring emotion analysis tasks and developing novel methods for such tasks. This workshop would start from the very basics of developing deep learning models and solutions to advanced topics such as feature fusion methods. This work is focused on understanding how seq2seq models can help understand hidden patterns in human emotion, and how can such models be used to develop frameworks to build emotion understanding models. This workshop is focused on researchers and machine learning engineers who are interested to pursue research in the domain of emotion recognition. Some basic concept of machine learning and python is expected in this workshop.

TUTORIAL TOPIC 4:
Recent advancements in deep learning are solving real-world problems. Deep learning algorithms need a more diverse set of data to generalize and perform in the real world. These algorithms are largely dependent on high-quality labeled data. High-quality varied labeled data is a major obstacle in transmitting these technologies to the end users. Self-supervised learning (SSL) is a developing deep learning technique that aims to address the issues raised by the over-dependence on high-quality labeled data. Internet users generate roughly about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data daily. Most of the data is personal user data. As privacy concerns are increasing among Internet users, the privacy protection use of personal data will establish a trust to interact with user devices. Federated Learning is a technique in which we can train a global deep learning algorithm with protecting the privacy of the user's personal data. Federated learning with self-supervision on user data can help to solve many real-world problems and gain trust to interact with technology.
