He is presently Head of the Computer and Communication Centre, IIT Guwahati and also Head for the Mehta Family School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, IIT Guwahati. Prior to joining IIT Guwahati, he served as a faculty member at REC (at present NIT) Silchar from 1991 to 2002. He holds a Ph.D (Engineering) from Jadavpur University, Kolkata and an M.Tech (Microwave Engineering) from IIT Kharagpur. He did his B.E. in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (First Class Hons) from REC (at present NIT) Silchar. Abstract: Wireless communication has become an integral part of today's world and in recent times it is witnessing unprecedented growth. To meet the growing demand of higher data rate in wireless communication systems, the millimeter wave band of frequencies will play increasingly important role. While millimeter wave band of frequencies offer abundance of bandwidth for supporting very high data rate communication, the design of communication systems becomes quite challenging. To overcome the high signal attenuation in the millimeter wave band, use of large arrays with beamforming are considered as viable solution. Hybrid beamforming with number of RF chains much smaller as compared to the number of antenna elements are being developed as a cost effective solution. However, there are several technological challenges which require to be addressed for utilizing the potentials of beamformers. Beam blockage is another major issue for millimeter wave wireless network and mitigation of such beam blockage is a very important aspect of the design of such network. This tutorial will highlight some of the challenges for designing wireless communication system in the millimetre wave band and some of the ways such challenges can be mitigated.

TUTORIAL II : Introduction to Recommender System and Its Recent Trends Speaker: Dr. Bidyut Kumar PatraIIT(BHU), Varanasi DATE: 23/06/2023 Biography: Dr. Patra is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi. He earned his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Guwahati, Guwahati, India under the supervision of Professor Sukumar Nandi. He received ERCIM (Marie- Curie) Fellowship from European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM), France, for doing post-doctoral research at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Finland. Prior to joining IIT(BHU). Dr. Patra was associated with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, National Institute of Technology Rourkela during 2011-2022. Dr. Patra received the prestigious Best Teacher Award from National Institute of Technology Rourkela in the academic year 2020-2021. He has executed few sponsored projects and published research articles in reputed journals and conferences. His research interests include Data Mining, Machine Learning, Anomaly Detection, Recommender Systems, Educational Technology. Abstract: Recommender systems have been immensely successful in overcoming information overload problems through personalized suggestions to consumers. There are many approaches for providing personalized suggestions. These approaches are divided into three major categories. Collaborative Filtering is the most popular approach in academics and industry. In this talk, various techniques will be discussed emphasizing on Collaborative Filter approaches. Traditional recommender systems have various issues such as diversity, long tail item recommendations, cold-start item (users). The session specific recommendation is another advancement of the traditional recommender system. In this talk, these issues will be discussed in detail. Click here to visit his website. |
