The development of this platform will help boost the AI community in India," Sudeshna Sarkar, Head of Centre for Artificial Intelligence at IIT Kharagpur, said.The platform was first launched with funding from the HRD ministry. Now the platform will be expended by indexing a wide variety of AI-specific resources such as learning materials, courses, workbooks, datasets, codes, tools and platforms. The portal will also provide search, browse, learning and computation services.The platform will provide hands-on learning to all the AI learners from across the nation through workbooks and cloud. The infrastructure will be provided by Amazon Web Services and in time the platform will also be connected to the in-house cloud developed at IIT Kharagpur. "With more than 200 significant machine learning capabilities launched in the last two years, AWS has the broadest and deepest set of machine learning and AI services focused on solving some of the toughest challenges facing developers. We welcome the opportunity to work with IIT Kharagpur on some of those challenges," Bratin Saha, Vice President AWS Machine Learning & Engines, said.
