Central Library in Jadavpur University

I have become  a life time member of Jadavpur University Central Library only at a cost of Rs 1000 . It is really nice . Advantage of becoming a life member of JU CL  is that at a time you can borrow three books and you can keep them for a month and again for another month after reissuing . You can access Reading room , Digital library and reference room at any time with the card in office hours . My main focus is to be strong in Mathematics . I have borrowed book of probability theory , Discrete mathematics , Graph theory , Queueing Theory , statistics etc . There is a huge collection of maths book in central library . Some are very good . Advantage of using CL is that you can not only borrow books of your related topics but you can also take a look of books of other subjects also . Yesterday I saw books of Organizational Behavior , Entrepreneurship ,  Wire less net work , Mechanics of  Mechanical Engineering , compiler design ,  six sigma of statistics etc at the rake of Pierson Education and other rakes. This is something new addition . There is arrangement of chilled drinking water also . Really it is very pleasuring to be there . But the only thing I should mention that the reading room and the reference rooms are non AC .Thats the problem thats why I cant spend much time there reading books in day time . After six o' clock its ok to be there . The temperature is low then . But the digital library is also very nice . You can spend there for hours reading tutorials or other on line educational magazines or surfing tutorial web sites . I spent hours for GRE on line exam practice. Playing with GRE words is an old practice of mine . I like to use bombastic words in my text when it is necessary cause it looks better and gives a real sense of knowledge of literature . Apart from that you can also take on line tutorial courses offered by Stanford University or Princeton University on various subjects .   These course are really useful for preliminary ideas about a subject . 

IEEE seminar on Computational Intelligence

IEEE seminar on Computational Intelligence

REcently  at St Thoumas' College Of Engineering and Technology , IEEE Computational Intelligence society organized a two day seminar on Computational Intelligence in Information System , Imaging and security on 3 rd and 4th August 2012 . The first lecture was of Dr Tinku Achariya who discovered the web cam . Prof Sanghamitra Bandyopadhyay   from ISI Kolkata Machine Intelligence Unit delivered a lecture on K mean's clustering . Prof Ujjal Mallik delivered a lecture on Genetic ALgorithm . I liked best the lecture delivered by Prof Amit Konar . He spoke about Prosthetic limb or artificial limb . His topic was human brain computer interaction . How human thinking can operate a robot . Basically giving a robot the same characteristics that of a human brain provided some biological interaction can not be operated in robot , just like hormone reaction . But easily robot can dance at the comment of human or at the thought process of human . Actually IEEE Spectrum gives   us detail description of how human brain can be interpreted by robot using some sensor nodes . This is the greater advantage for physically challenged people . I am totally enthralled by the subject matter . It is fantastic . If you are interested in this human brain computer interaction then read some articles on online magazine of IEEE Spectrum . It will help you understanding the subject matter . Apart from that Prof Pabitra Mitra delivered a lecture on information retrieval . Though the subject was not unknown to me .
