MANTRA-2026

The Departments of Information Technology and Applied Sciences, Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIIT-A) are going to organise a hybrid workshop on Machine Learning, Linear Algebra and Natural Language Transformation during July 20, 2026 - July 22, 2026. The aim of this workshop is to explore the deep interconnection between mathematical foundations and intelligent language technologies. It will focus on how concepts of Linear Algebra power Machine Learning algorithms and enable efficient Natural Language Translation systems. The workshop will provide participants with theoretical insights, computational techniques, and practical applications in multilingual AI, data representation, neural networks, and language processing. Emphasis will be placed on emerging research trends, real-world applications, and interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Linguistics.
