The wor kshop aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of h ow data-driven technologies are applied across the industry\, while exposi ng them to modern Data Science and Machine Learning workflows\, emerging t echnologies\, and real-world AI applications. Through a combination of exp ert-led sessions\, industry discussions\, and practical learning\, partici pants will gain insight into the complete AI lifecycle\, from identifying business problems and preparing data to developing\, evaluating\, and depl oying Machine Learning solutions.\n\nThe workshop brings together experien ced industry professionals and technology leaders to provide participants with both technical knowledge and career-focused insights. Sessions will e xplore how organizations integrate Data Science and Machine Learning into business operations\, the collaboration between different technical roles\ , emerging industry practices\, and the skills employers seek in aspiring data professionals. An interactive career panel will further guide partici pants on career pathways\, portfolio development\, internships\, certifica tions\, technical interviews\, and successfully transitioning from univers ity to industry. The workshop will culminate in a hands-on\, end-to-end Ma chine Learning session where participants will work with a real-world\, in dustry-inspired use case\, gaining practical experience in dataset prepara tion\, feature engineering\, model development\, performance evaluation\, and deployment considerations. By the end of the workshop\, participants w ill have strengthened their technical and professional capabilities while developing a practical\, portfolio-ready Machine Learning project.\n\nSpea ker(s): Mr. Tharindu Sankalpa\, Mr. Ramindu Walgama\, Ms. Nishakya Ranasin ghe\, Mr. Keshan Sodimana\, Mr. Isuru Wijesiri\n\nAgenda: \n9:00 AM - 9:05 AM : Welcome and Opening Remarks\n\n9:05 AM - 9:50 AM : Session 01: From Data to Decisions: The Future of Data Science & AI (Keynote session)\n\n9: 50 AM - 10:10 AM : Kahoot Quiz\n\n10:10 AM - 11:10 AM : Session 02- The Da ta Science Career Playbook (Panel Discussion with Q&A)\n\n11:10 AM - 11:30 AM : Networking Session and Refreshments\n\n11:30 AM - 1:30 PM : Session 03- From Data to Deployment: An End to End ML Solution (Hands on practical session)\n\n1:30 PM - 1:40 PM : Closing Remarks and Group Photograph\n\nI IT School of Computing\, 10 Trelawney Pl\, Colombo 00400\, Sri Lanka\, Sri Lanka LOCATION:IIT School of Computing\, 10 Trelawney Pl\, Colombo 00400\, Sri La nka\, Sri Lanka ORGANIZER:info@ieeeyp.lk SEQUENCE:35 SUMMARY:InsightX - Beyond the Model URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/577130 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify\;">In sightX: Beyond the Model\, powered by IFS and organized by IEEE LETs talk in collaboration with IEEE Young Professionals Sri Lanka\, is a premier Da ta Science and Machine Learning workshop designed to bridge the gap betwee n academic learning and real-world industry practice.
