The Centre for Defence Research and Development recently hosted an informative workshop on "Data Science and Machine Learning," in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science Engineering at the University of Moratuwa. Held on our premises, the event saw participation from both military and civilian personnel.
The workshop was led by two distinguished lecturers from the University of Moratuwa, Dr. Uthayasanker Thayasivam and Dr. Thanuja Ambegoda. Both are esteemed experts in the fields of data science and machine learning, and their presentations provided a deep dive into both the foundational principles and practical applications of these advanced technologies.
Through comprehensive sessions, attendees explored how data science and machine learning can significantly enhance decision-making processes, boost operational efficiency, and foster innovation within the defence sector. The workshop included hands-on experiences with real-world examples and case studies, demonstrating the transformative impact of these technologies in both military and civilian settings.
The insights and skills gained from this workshop are set to greatly benefit ongoing projects and future initiatives at the Centre for Defence Research and Development. We extend our sincere appreciation to Dr. Uthayasanker Thayasivam, Dr. Thanuja Ambegoda, and the University of Moratuwa for their invaluable contributions. We look forward to continuing our collaboration to further our understanding and capabilities in this dynamic field.
