For digital transformation, today, businesses depend heavily on analytics powered by artificial intelligence (AI) as a "must-have." Any data-driven business that ought to handle its processes with data as the salient glow can certify this. However, at the same time, many enterprises find it quite demanding to collect huge amounts of data and create sense of the data and apply it in the right context. As a result, they fail to get the most out of their growing information resources.

AI and ML driving, exponentiating sustainable and quantifiable transformation
IEEE COMPSAC
September 09, 2020
AI is a major transforming technology impacting every sector of life. AI is not a force to deprive humans and take over the control, rather a real enabler and lever for digital transformation. The former view aligns with Hollywood need to be undressed with the latter, which is realistic and becoming tangible over time as more organizations, and communities are leveraging AI’s potential. Developing a practical understanding of AI, its capabilities, the challenges, and opportunities that it brings is fundamental to get the maximum out of its envisaged potential.
The objective of this paper is to highlight how technology and industry have developed, discuss the role of AI in driving intelligent transformation concentrating on an applicable understanding of AI and related technologies. We introduce a new conceptual framework: AI's multi-dimensional role, to highlight its transformative power in multiple aspects and to support that with facts across different industry verticals.

Activity Recognition for locomotion and transportation dataset using deep learning
UbiComp/ISWC 2020
September 01, 2020
Worked on a broad, real-life dataset to classify transport-related activities in a user and location-independent manner. Since deep learning architectures have now received great attention on achieving promising results on time series classification tasks, we focused our experiments on some recent state-of-the-art deep learning architectures such as CNN, Resnet, and InceptionTime. A considerable amount of time was spent on the preprocessing pipeline, which turned out to be a critical phase that impacted most of the results. At the end and after many experiments and hyperparameter tuning, we were able to achieve a 79% F1 score on the validation dataset using InceptionTime architecture. The objective of this paper is to present the technical description of the Machine Learning processing pipeline, the algorithms used, and the results achieved during the development/training phase.

What do businesses achieve, once they start their journey to become a data-driven enterprise? In this blog, I will discuss what you would obtain if you would become a Data-Driven business. Being data-driven is no longer a choice, rather it is a must-have if you want to stay relevant. Data is the new oil to explore the full potential of an organization and its capabilities. Once the organizations use it to their advantage, they can not only lead with data-driven decision making but also to deliver more digitally enhanced experiences to all the stakeholders and customers.

Data Scientist Types: What kind of data scientists do you come across in the market?
Towards AI
April 11, 2020
I have seen different types of people around carrying out and using the title of a data scientist. I would categorize them in the following types:
1. Self-claimed Data Scientists or the Titalists: These are the ones that started using the titles and critical terms. They go with the hyped, the moment they heard someone saying data scientist is the “sexiest job of the 21st Century”, they jumped over the bandwagon and started declaring them as a data scientist. There would be absolutely no issue, had they learned the required skills, and could do the job. ....

What do I want to do during Covid-19?
Undoubtedly, we are all passing through an unprecedented time of COVID-19. However, given that this pandemic has restricted our free movement, changed radically our work and life style- many of us have taken it as something to live with (fear, grabbing everything from supermarket as if they would neever get it again) , and many of us have (or most of us should see) seen this differently considering it as an opportunity to be creative, responsible and finish the things that we have never got the time to do them.

It has made business leaders aware of and come up with the desire to take advantage of the opportunities that data and AI offer. However, contrary to the desire of becoming data driven and infusing data science and AI into their businesses, business leaders still have to deal with many challenges, despite investing their resources toward their data- & AI-related strategic initiatives.

What are Data Driven Businesses and what do they need to do to become truly data driven? Data and AI are forcing to change the business landscape and this leads the organisations to shift from traditional to a more intelligent and data centric decision making. While doing so, organisations face many challenges; some making to hit the border, other being stuck somewhere in the middle fighting with internal politics and other issues. In this series, I would like to discuss those issues and approaches for businesses to become a data driven entity. However, to start with, I will focus on defining what makes a business to be truly data driven.

5G - Fifth Generation of Mobile Networks
LinkedIn
December 04, 2019
We are hearing a lot about 5G these days, but the question is what is it and how it will change our life? 5G is not something that will replace 4G completely at once, and will continue to exist, rather it is organic phenomenon that will evolve and change over time. This should also clarify the perspective that why there are already some efforts going on for 6G. We need to recognise the fact that there are more promising developments to come ahead of this. All smartphone companies are doing their level best to launch 5G enabled devices and connections. These devices will operate in different frequency bands such as from 3 to 300 GHz. Let's put these promising opportunities aside for now and start with actually introducing 5G and how the mobile technology has evolved from 1G to where it stands today. Before, concluding, I will also discuss advantages of 5G and some limiting factors / disadvantages of 5G (as of now).
