Workshop On Binary Classification And Spam Detection Conducted

, , , , ,

Spiralogics successfully conducted its second AI workshop titled “AI Workshop: Art of using Naive Bayes for Binary Classification and Spam Detection” on 15th Dec, Saturday. There was a total of over 50 participants which included IT students and AI enthusiasts. The program was held at Softwarica College of IT and E-commerce, Dillibazaar.

Spiralogics is organizing a series of workshops throughout December as pre-events leading up to its main event – Spirathon. The studios are done in collaboration with Nepal.ai community and are being held at various IT colleges in Kathmandu.

This year 2018, Spirathon is focused on exploring and explaining the ways how AI can create a positive impact on various aspects of your life. Spirathon-Artificial Intelligence for Impact is not just any ordinary Appathon. It is a platform which will act as a driving force in encouraging the implementation of AI (especially in the Nepalese environment).

Mr. Ayush Subedi, former CTO of Tootle, Co-founder of Moonlit Solutions, facilitated the workshop where he discussed over the following topics:

Probability Primer
Conditional Probability
Bayes theorem
Sensitivity, Specificity and Confusion Matrix
Accuracy, Precision, and Recall
Naive Bayes
NB Spam detection classifier
NB vs. Bagging, Random Forest and Adaboost

The session started with Mr. Ayush revising the concepts of probabilities that gave us the remembrance of our school days and participants also applied the underlying problems through the code in their Jupiter notebook. Then, the concept of probabilities gradually deepened and the speaker explained how these concepts are needed in the real world from the medical field to diagnose type I and type II error and how the same ideas can be used for spam detection techniques. A dataset containing Spam and Ham messages were taken through the supervised machine learning process from the beginning to end: from preprocessing the data to building the model, learning from the training set and applying the model to the testing set and finally to calculating the efficiency of the model using accuracy, precision, and recall.

The program concluded with the Networking Session where participants interacted with each other and the speaker.

Spiralogics Family would like to thank Mr. Ayush for taking out the time and conducting such an informative session. They are also thankful to the IT and Editorial Club of Softwarica for assisting our team during the workshop. The next AI workshop will be held at Kantipur City College. The session is titled “Third AI Workshop: AI Workshop: Deep Learning for Face Detection with Convolutional Neural Networks” and will be facilitated by Mr. Akash Adhikari.

Spirathon is an annual appathon organized by Spiralogics International in partnership with Spiralogics Institution of Technology. At this event, a team consisting of a maximum of three members will need to build a prototype application based on a specific agenda.

The team members will need to turn the raw idea they have into a real-life computer application. The team can build its use in any computer language & platform. There are no set barriers for this. Spiralogics as well as other top profiled software companies will be providing mentorship to each of the team. Each team will be assigned the mentor two-weeks before the appathon to guide them on their project.

Professionals from the top IT companies and non-government organizations will be judging the event and choosing the winners.

Spirathon 2019 This year’s theme is AI for Impact. The organizers will conduct various pre-events leading up to the main event. Besides the appathon, they will also be inviting keynote speakers and attending a workshop during the pre-events.

We will be selecting teams from different IT colleges to compete with each other for the winning title. Each group will be assigned a mentor two-weeks before the appathon to guide them on their project. Teams will present their application and give a demo in the finale. Each side will be scored on different criteria by the judges.

What’s different this year? Spiralogics is organizing five different workshops throughout December as a pre-event leading up to its main event – Spirathon. Each workshop is held at different venues regarding various topics related to AI. Regarding the first workshop, Ashwin Dhakal, Associate Software Engineer from Yomari aims to provide an insight into deep learning for Natural Language Processing. The event is organized on 8th December at Apex College.

The second workshop is led by Aayush Subedi, Former CEO of Tootle and Co-founder of Moonlit and will take place in Softwarica College. The workshop will focus on the art of using Naive Bayes for Spam Detection.

Alongside the appathon, the main event will also include an AI conference where experts in Artificial Intelligence will be sharing their insights. This will be a platform where investors, IT professionals, students and entrepreneurs can come together to share their ideas and network.
