o3-mini vs Deepseek-r1: As the battle between o3-mini and Deepseek-r1 heats up, we put them to test with a simple linear algebra coding task. Prompt: Write a C program to find the maximum value in a skew-symmetric matrix. The results surprised us! Seems mini is yet to mature😅

Vision and AI Lab (VAL), IISc has been recognized as the top AI lab in India by @CSrankings 🥇🎉, reflecting a decade of dedicated research. IISc is also ranked #1 in AI research nationwide 🥇. Thanks to our amazing team for their hard work and commitment🙏 #AI #CV #ML #IISc

🎉 Congratulations to @RangwaniHarsh on successfully defending his PhD thesis today! We're incredibly proud of your hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Wishing you great success as you step into this new chapter as Dr. Harsh! 🚀 #PhDDefense @cdsiisc @iiscbangalore

Unfortunate to see India's top institute, @iiscbangalore, missing from @OfficialINDIAai's document. Hope this oversight is rectified soon @GoI_MeitY.

Congratulations, Sravanti!

IKDD congratulates Sravanti Addepalli @iiscbangalore  for enhancing the robustness of Deep Neural Networks against adversarial attacks and distribution shifts while addressing practical deployment challenges. @PreethiJyothi1 @ManishGuptaMG1 @asinghee1
