@ChangezTaizu @gargiuvacha @KousiksarathyS A sample of what our alumni are doing now: * Building RAG and gen AI products for culture / tourism sector * Yoga safety tech * Data science/ EMR intelligence for Ayurveda hospital * Indian language grammars and NLP tech around it

@gargiuvacha @KousiksarathyS @MohanRaghavan8 Can you share some of those details of what kind of job profiles one can expect? Not many know about this , will be good information to have.

I strongly urge people to look at the M.Tech / Executive M.Tech in Heritage Science & Technology at IIT Hyderabad. Because this is not just another degree. It is a serious attempt to study, strengthen and advance Indian knowledge systems with both rootedness and rigour.

@gargiuvacha @MihirHardas @KousiksarathyS Understand 'Science' behind IKS/Heritage Develop 'Technology' to promote IKS and Heritage industry

@MihirHardas @KousiksarathyS @MohanRaghavan8 Because you can also design Tech around IKS. For eg IITH is developing VR to experience various historical places and temples. Also a lot of work on language is being done - developing tech. Yoga studios where tech can be installed for checking asanas.

#WorldHeritageDay Preserving Heritage through Science and Innovation. With the support of the @IndiaDST - SHRI scheme, institutes like @IITHyderabad are advancing heritage conservation through the use of cutting-edge technologies, ensuring sustainable preservation of our rich cultural legacy. #InternationalDayForMonumentsandSites @DrJitendraSingh @karandi65 @sharmarashmi123 @hstiithyderabad @KousiksarathyS @MohanRaghavan8 @DBTIndia @CSIR_IND @moesgoi @MinOfCultureGoI

We profusely thank @IndiaDST for their generous support over the last several years which led to the formation of this Dept, first of its kind in Bharat and the work depicted in this snippet. @IITHyderabad @MohanRaghavan8

Our heartfelt thanks for sharing this sir. This only inspires us to work with greater thrust and build a trillion dollar economy around India's Heritage assets as outlined by the Hon. PM @PMOIndia @narendramodi !!! @IITHyderabad

Exciting news at IIT Hyderabad MTech (2 yrs) & Executive MTech (1 yr) in Heritage Science & Technology. Apply cutting-edge tech to conserve & revive India’s heritage. Pre-register: forms.gle/LdjkJyEXJChSiw… #IITHyderabad #HeritageScience #HeritageTechnology

Two hidden trends that matter in the Ai world right now; Continual Learning and World Models This is what India has to focus on. The fact is that GPTs and their products, the LLMs and their core architectural constraints, the Transformers are all at a dead end. The LLM world doesn't know how to impact the real economy or productivity on this path. They are throwing the sink at it and hoping some magic will come out of it just by deploying the sheer compute at scale that costs billions and trillions of dollars (this was the classic mistake of early dotcom era bust too). Yet they are nowhere near solving the 2 basic problems of "bad generalisations" and even worse "sample efficiency". In fact, if anything they may hit mathematical limitations of RL soon. India needs to bet on an alternate path, an alternate destiny for mankind. Fund a new architecture. Liberate intelligence from the abstract layer of Human language constraints and focus on narrow intelligence dominance in specific domains with continual learning. No preformed biases, no pre-trained models, no frozen training weights. This is a revolution that can differentiate Bharat from US and China, it can give us that edge that nobody currently has, in less than 2 years! But current data-centre deployment in India is minuscule compared to the world at around 1.5GW (US has 54GW and China 32GW). If India can strategically plan to deploy the next 2-5GW of hyperscale datacenter for CL and world models with more efficiency rather than just throwing all the labelled datasets at it and instead deriving intelligence beyond mere human language understanding, then there is a potential path to achieve massive intelligence gains in specific domains at a fraction of the cost and compute. Interestingly, this aligns with our ancient wisdom of the Sindhu-Saraswati civilisation. Most of us think of Sanskrit as a language born to communicate ideas amongst us humans (like all other languages), but what if you think of Sanskrit as a layer of intelligence beyond the mundane human existence? in fact, it was probably a layer specifically designed to capture intelligence from a higher level. Vedas were then downstream to that intelligence capture and so very complex in nature that most parts have either been lost or remain only partially deciphered till date. Can Bharat achieve such a paradigm today? Let the world focus all their energies on the current backprop-Transformer-GPT-RL-LLM models and throw the sink of data and compute to arrive at a magical intelligence layer, maybe they will achieve success. But if they won’t (which is more likely), we will be in a commanding position to walk on an alternate path in 2 years. As a nation we need to institutionally and strategically focus on deploying compute at scale towards CL and world models to achieve narrow AGI in specific domains. Can we, for once, find the courage to do something different and lead the world rather than be led?

A clear case of IP theft, though hard to track. I guess it is high time for technologists to step-in and document the art of India. We have tech to track and reliably parameterize and quantify these transgressions.

1. Deepawali: Symbolism of Balipadyami & Govardhana Puja 🪔 In this part, we explore the inner experience behind Balipadyami / Govardhana Puja (Prathama) and Yama Dvitiya / Bhagini Dvitiya (Dvitiya) — profound reflections on the transformation of ego, balance between material wealth and Dharma, and the divine union of Purusha and Prakrti.

2. Victory over Narakasura ⚔️ Narakasura embodies naraka — the result of immense paapa karma. Born of Prithvi (Earth), symbol of material abundance, he steals the ornaments of Aditi, mother of the Devas — a violation of Dharma, symbolising reckless materialism that leads to downfall.

1. Deepawali: Inner Experience & Symbolic Traditions 🪔 Dhanatrayodashi, Dhanvantari Jayanthi & Yama Deepam (all on Trayodashi) may appear as random observances. Yet, from a Yogic & spiritual perspective, they form a coherent whole — flowing from inner experience and symbolising the balance of Yoga (inward bliss) & Bhoga (outer prosperity).

@iobyleon Only on Android still 🙏 planning iphone and desktop version next few months

@MohanRaghavan8 Is it Android only? Didn't find it on the App Store.

Our humble offering on Durgashtami.. 🙏 Dhara in its new 2.0 avatar has immensely helped me in my own research and writing. It has improved my productivity by leaps and bounds.. Looking forward to hearing from you all ! Please download, install/upgrade try and let us know🙏

@hamsanandi @Bheri_in @HTSRinstitute @KousiksarathyS Not yet Sir.. but planned for the coming quarter, 🙏

@Bheri_in @HTSRinstitute @MohanRaghavan8 @KousiksarathyS Not yet on iPhone?

On this auspicious day of Durgashtami we are excited to present Dhara - India's first homegrown AI powered search engine for Indic Knowledge, Culture and Heritage.

@jamvasu It is the default interface on dhara now.. from here you can search for verses or definitions or books.. just it just like Google search or Google scholar

@MohanRaghavan8 Is shodh a different app?

Dhara is my go to app for searching slokas on "Quick Verse". It is a wonderful tool for research. I am grateful to @MohanRaghavan8 ji for coming up with this app.
