NIT, Goa conducts course on Pattern Analysis and Information Security

National Institute of Technology, Goa invites applications for a short-term certificate course on Pattern Analysis and Information Security which is scheduled to be held between 30 June to 4 July, 2014. This course is being organised by the Computer Science and Engineering department of the college.

The primary objective of this short-term certificate course is to provide insights into different challenges in Pattern Analysis and Information Security. The course structure is designed so as to motivate the research scholars, students, faculty members and industry people towards the fertile areas of Pattern Recognition and Information Security. This course will also provide knowledge about latest innovations in these fields.

The course is expected to cover the following topics:

Introduction to pattern analysis
Bayes decision theory
Parametric density estimation
Gaussian mixture model
Sequential pattern classification: Hidden Markov model
Non-parametric methods for density estimation
Methods for dimensionality reduction
Non-metric methods for pattern classification: Decision trees, Classification & regression trees (CART)
Discriminant analysis techniques
Regression/ Function approximation
Pattern Clustering
Number theory fundamentals
Foundations of cryptography
Cryptographic protocols and Provable security framework
Threshold cryptography for fault tolerant systems
Cloud computing security
Key management
