The scenario for the Hackathon involved an Indian Smart City's Traffic Police Department which wishes to use Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence techniques to solve their traffic crisis.
The mission is to create societal impact through multi-disciplinary interactions with the government, academic, research and industrial collaborators on core challenges in Data Science (DS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
"Artificial Intelligence is a core technology for all areas of connected life -- from connected mobility to buildings, factories and cities. The expertise of our Indian engineers contributes to expanding the AI skills set of Bosch," said Michael Bolle, Member of Bosch's Board of Management.
The centre will undertake foundational research in many areas of AI and Data Science, namely deep learning, reinforcement learning, network analytics, interpretable machine learning (ML), and domain aware AI.
