Automated seaweed species classification using deep learning and large language models – Scientific Reports
Dataset collection and preparation An initial set of 800 original images was collected during field surveys conducted in the coastal waters of Hurghada, the Gulf of Suez, and Marsa Alam, Egypt (Red Sea coast). The dataset covers 43 species across three phyla: Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta. The dataset exhibits an inherent class imbalance, with the
School On AI: Silver Lining For The Dog Days of Summer –
From teaching researchers how to assemble GPU machines to unpacking the latest multimodal AI models, IIIT Hyderabad’s Summer School on AI has mirrored and helped shape the evolution of AI itself. Here’s a look back through the last decade. When artificial intelligence exploded into the mainstream, most universities found themselves scrambling to keep pace. Course
Evolution of AI Architectures: From Expert Systems to Generative AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved from simple rule-based systems to advanced generative models that can create content, reason contextually, and assist in human decision-making. The transformation of AI architectures over the past few decades reflects a continuous journey toward building systems that not only compute but also understand, adapt, and generate.
