🎉 Congratulations to Harsh Rangwani on successfully defending his PhD thesis today! We're incredibly proud of your hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Wishing you great success as you step into this new chapter as Dr. Harsh! 🚀 #PhDDefense IISc Computational and Data Sciences IISc Bangalore

Vision and AI Lab (VAL), IISc has been recognized as the top AI lab in India by CSrankings 🥇🎉, reflecting a decade of dedicated research. IISc is also ranked #1 in AI research nationwide 🥇. Thanks to our amazing team for their hard work and commitment🙏 #AI #CV #ML #IISc

o3-mini vs Deepseek-r1: As the battle between o3-mini and Deepseek-r1 heats up, we put them to test with a simple linear algebra coding task. Prompt: Write a C program to find the maximum value in a skew-symmetric matrix. The results surprised us! Seems mini is yet to mature😅
