Splitting his lecture into two segments, Prof N Balakrishnan will initiate the session by describing the concept “Revenge of Silicon” that clearly establishes the inevitability of the birth of big data and AI. Further, he will share insights regarding his research on the use of ML in handling large volumes of network data to enhance the performance of Intrusion Detection Systems, detecting structured botnets at infrastructure level traffic, malware detection, and classification for offline and online streaming data. Proceeding with the talk, he will dedicate the second half of his lecture in explaining Influence maximization and mobility, and churn prediction for a large population of a city which depend on large volumes of data from social media and Call Data Records (CDR). These concepts have significance in establishing smart cities, smart businesses, and smart economy.
