IIIT Delhi has announced that it has collaborated with IBM Research to offer Data Lifecycle Management courses to Computer Science Engineering students at the institute.

Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Delhi has announced that it is introducing a course on 'Data Lifecycle Management' for Computer Science Engineering of the institute in coordination with IBM Research. The course will be offered to the pre-final year and final year undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctorate students. The course will also include algorithms and best practices to handle data to construct excellent Machine Learning pipelines. As per the institute, the course will be taught by Dr. Sameep Mehta and Hima Patel from IBM Research.

The course will be covering various components and challenges for the data lifecycle. The course aims to help students to understand the evolution of data research from business intelligence to Artificial Intelligence to Hybrid Cloud, the institute said in a statement. 

Dr Sameep Mehta, IBM Research AI, said, “It is important for our next generation of AI researchers to understand the data lifecycle. In a typical AI project, around 80 per cent of the effort is spent on data acquisition, cleaning, and preparation, whereas model learning accounts for 20 per cent. This course will focus on teaching these concepts in a principled fashion to the students.”

The two-credit course is divided into six sections which will cover — AI Background Refresher, Framework For Operationalising Data For AI Tasks, Data Exploration, Data Quality Analysis For ML, Getting Data Ready For AI, How It All Comes Together In A Practical Setting, and Re-imagining Data in Hybrid Cloud Environments, according to the IIIT.

The course will also feature a couple of guest lectures from industry experts to showcase how these principles are applied to build Large Scale Data Lakes, the official statement from the IIIT informed.
