The program took place at the Syndicate Hall of North South University and brought together engineers and academics to exchange real-world applications of AI and ML. [ NP: Greeky Solution is a collaborator of Cefalo\, Vivasoft\, Inument & Brain Station 23]\n\nThe ev ent commenced with opening remarks from the organizers\, setting the stage for a day filled with insightful sessions. Midway through the program\, P rofessor Abdul Hannan Chowdhury\, Vice Chancellor of NSU\, and Professor D r. Shazzad Hosain\, Dean of the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences (SEPS)\, addressed the audience. Both emphasized the vital need for strong collaboration between academia and industry to accelerate innovation and contribute to economic advancement through emerging technologies.\n\nBy da y\, AI engineers from leading software companies and NSU professors taught five sessions\, which showcased real-world\, impactful AI solutions in th e process of being developed for the global market:\n\nIn the session titl ed "From Pixels to Polygons: Deep Learning for Complex Image Understanding "\, the Inument team demonstrated how advanced AI techniques can transform complex technical diagrams\, such as engineering blueprints or circuit la youts\, into precise digital representations. By teaching computers to rec ognize and interpret various elements in these drawings—like lines\, sha pes\, and symbols—AI can convert them into accurate digital formats. Thi s automation streamlines tasks that traditionally required extensive manua l effort\, enhancing efficiency in fields like engineering and design.\n\n Md Arifuzzaman Chowdhury\, Lead Software Engineer at Brain Station 23\, le d a session titled "Bengali TTS at a Crossroads: Obstacles and Pathways to Success"\, discussing the challenges and advancements in developing Benga li Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems. TTS technology enables computers to read text aloud\, which is invaluable for applications like audiobooks\, virtua l assistants\, and accessibility tools. However\, creating natural-soundin g speech in Bengali presents unique hurdles\, such as capturing the langua ge's nuances and intonations. The session highlighted efforts to fine-tune AI models to better understand and replicate Bengali speech patterns\, ai ming to make digital interactions more inclusive for Bengali speakers.\n\n The third session\, titled "Industrial Time Series Under the Microscope: D etecting Anomalies Before They Fail You"\, Abu Hasnat Abdullah\, Senior So ftware Engineer\, and Parabal Kanti Deb Sarker\, Engineering Manager at Ce falo\, discussed how AI can monitor industrial systems to detect anomalies —unusual patterns that may indicate potential issues. For instance\, in a manufacturing plant\, sensors collect data on equipment performance. AI can analyze this data in real-time to identify signs of wear or malfunctio n\, allowing for proactive maintenance. This approach helps prevent costly downtime and ensures smoother operations in industries like manufacturing and energy.\n\nThen\, the Vivasoft team introduced the concept of convers ational intelligence in their session titled "Beyond Chatbots: The Rise of Conversational Intelligence"\, which goes beyond traditional chatbots. Th ey demonstrated how AI can conduct dynamic interviews and analyze response s to build comprehensive profiles of job candidates. This technology can a ssess not just the content of responses but also the tone and delivery\, p roviding deeper insights into a candidate's suitability. Such advancements aim to revolutionize recruitment by enabling more informed and efficient hiring decisions.\n\nFinally\, Dr. Nabeel Mohammed\, Associate Professor\, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, North South Universit y\, conducted a session\, "Introduction to Machine Learning and Applicatio ns with Problem Solving\," where he introduced machine learning—a sub-di scipline of AI where computers learn from experience to make decisions. He explained how machine learning occurs in everyday situations\, such as on line product suggestions or detection of online transaction fraud. During problem-solving exercises\, workshop attendees were illuminated on how suc h systems learn and the ways in which they might be applied to tackle real problems.\n\nThe event was inspiring\, highlighting engineers teaching en gineers with curiosity\, clarity\, and a shared passion for building AI/ML applications. A big thank you to all the speakers\, participants\, and th e NSU team for making the program meaningful.\n\n[No photo description ava ilable.]\n\nSpeaker(s): Professor Dr. Abdul Hannan Chowdhury\, Professor D r.
