About FICS
FICS (FAST NU - IBA Sukkur – COMSATS University Islamabad – SZABIST Islamabad) is a network of four leading universities of Pakistan which is established to promote mathematics research and academic activities in the partner universities. The founding members of the FICS are committed towards active collaboration to promote quality research in mathematics. The network will host regular seminars and workshops to nurture academic activities in mathematics. The following faculty members are designated as FICS representatives from partner universities.
About the Workshop
The workshop is intended for students, faculty members, and people from industry. The purpose of this three day workshop is to provide a hands on introduction to various methods in data science. Our main focus will be on image recognition, sentiment analysis from text, next word prediction such as in the cell phone messaging applications, topological data analysis and its applications in image analysis, image data compression and principal component analysis (PCA).
