CL Data School

Workshop @ Allcargo Logistics, Mumbai

A four day Machine Learning Bootcamp was conducted in All Cargo Logistics, Mumbai for the leadership and senior managers of the organization. At the end of the 30 hour program every participant became eligible for a Green Belt certification , to be awarded after submission of all project work

The objective of the workshop was:

To create the awareness of data analytics and application of machine learning processes to enhance the decision making ability of the organization.
Basics of Python and Machine Learning algorithms - including advanced topics like Recommender systems, Artificial Neural networks, Natural language processing and Time Series Analysis
Exposure to a range of Business problems - with coding examples of solving problems using Machine Learning algorithms

In addition to the learning sessions, the participants brought their own problems and datasets to solve and came through with great results and insights.

A team from CL Educate, led by Mr Sujit Bhattacharyya (Chief Innovation Officer, CL Educate) conducted the sessions. Dr Subhrajit Bhattacharyya and Mr Ayush Joshi were co-faculty of the program.

In total, 23 participants, comprising top management personnel from a number of different verticals attended the workshop.

Feedback

Faculty has very strong knowledge of ML concept and very helpful. Special thanks to the faculty for providing guidance on real ML project. The session of Voice bots was the most interesting to me

Great insight to Machine learning and the way to explore the data. I was very impressed with the Clustering analysis algorithms- it allowed me to gain insights about our customers which our leadrship has always been asking for

Sujit, Subhrajit and Ayush are really hands on, they made the program design very simple to understand and interesting. For me the high point of the workshop was the power of Artificial Neural networks

Sujit is obviously very knowledgeable in ML and is pretty good in solving problems and suggesting alternative way of thinking about a problem. The most exciting part of the workshop was getting a Kaggle rank in the Titanic problem and get a position among the data scientists of the world

Vaasu Rastogi

Joint MD's Office, Allcargo Logistics

Wonderful and simplified way of presenting complex topics like this to non-tech audience. Subhrajit was easy to follow and he really made the conceptsvery clear

Sujit was very good at explaining concepts and very nicely paced the entire training.They were very helpful in identifying errors done by me in my projects and assignments and explained how it can be resolved. I loved the regression and classification problems and how they could be applied to business.

It was a phenomenal experience. The faculty complemented each other perfectly, ranging from a young Data Scientist to a Ph.D. in Computer Science. By the end of the workshop, all of us were able to utilise our new learnt skills to solve the problems which were staring at us for quite some time and I am confident I'll be using ML a lot more to tackle these business problems.

Rohan Mittal

Vice President, Allcargo Logistics

Discovering the power of classification and recommendation systems was the best part of the workshop. I am sure we can use the same concepts in solving our business problems
