Development and Deployment of a Generative Model-Based Framework for Test to Photorealistic Image Generation
How SCAAI Collaboration benefitted?
With SCAAI a lot of things changed in my life. I was more aware about my research and experimenting properly, I got more proficient with my coding and technical writing. More importantly I got disciplined to work and was able to complete an arduous project with the help of my astonishing teammates and incredible mentors. Additional my profile was boosted and benefited me for my masters program.
Experience at SCAAI
I made a lot of mistakes, learned and solved the problems. An arduous project was completed with the help of my incredible teammates and without the support and guidance of our mentors, it wouldn't be possible. They have always guided us at every step wherever we needed help and it amazes me that they handle the same way with many other teams. Their managerial & research experience skills are top notch. We were very lucky to have them as our mentors. Getting into SCAAI was one of my best decision in the college.

DDoSGEN: Generating and Detecting volumetric DDoS attacks
How SCAAI Collaboration benefitted?
Initially, I wasn’t into research much but I wanted to explore the AI field more. Working with SCAAI helped me to get into the research side with proper guidance. When I joined, I wasn’t aware of how the whole research methodology works and how to publish a research paper, but my mentor helped me a lot in the whole process and also used to give me suggestions regarding my research project. I also got a chance to explore some of the recent trends and applications of AI while reading papers for my project. I used to think that research is boring stuff but working with SCAAI made me change the way I think about research now.
Experience at SCAAI
I got into SCAAI when I was in my second year. My research project was related to ‘Applications of AI in Cybersecurity.’ I used to have weekly calls with my mentor wherein we used to discuss the work progress and my mentor used to give me some suggestions on how to proceed further. After completing the project, with the help of my mentor, I started writing the research paper based on my work. Since I didn’t have any experience in writing a research paper before, I found this part a bit challenging. Overall it was an eye-opening experience for me. My perspective regarding research completely changed after working with SCAAI.

How SCAAI Collaboration benefitted?
My association with SCAAI started when I was in my third year. I was an electronics and telecom. student and like most others, I too wasn't sure whether I would be able to contribute as much to the projects as other CS students. But thanks to our mentor, this misconception of mine was cleared. I joined SCAAI and it turned out to be a very good decision. I owe a good part of the success of our project to SCAAI and my mentors.
Experience at SCAAI
My experience with SCAAI has been truly enriching. The learnings that I've had while being in SCAAI have been immense and I am glad that I got a chance to be associated with SCAAI.
There were many phases in our project. We worked, we failed, we learnt, got back up and we persisted. But what remained constant throughout our journey was our mentor's support and belief in us. And believe me, when you have a good guide, you really feel like working and giving your best.

Gas Detection and Identification Using Multimodal Artificial Intelligence Based Sensor Fusion
How SCAAI Collaboration benefitted?
SCAAI has been the highlight for my profile. In interviews, I've been only asked about my SCAAI projects. It valuable mentorship by the faculties here have helped me to touch upon important aspects of AI problems. All this combined benefitted me in preparing a good research paper, ready for publication in a reputable journal. I feel extremely thankful about this opportunity.
Experience at SCAAI
"An investment in Quality experience pays the BEST interest" ~ I'll start by saying is that SCAAI has been the best choice my major internship. The kind of flexibility and guidance with work I got here, was extremely useful to move ahead with my project on the right track. I faced different kinds of problems during my work, which when discussed with my mentors and colleagues I found a good insights to different possible solutions and their outcomes. SCAAI for me was was full off good and fun experimentation with a desirable environment. Working on some industrial level projects and practical learning has given an edge to my profile, which honestly is highly appreciable. Thank you SCAAI for giving me this opportunity. It helped me to shape myself. "

Gas Detection using Multi Sensor Fusion and Deep Learning
How SCAAI Collaboration benefitted?
I chose SCAAI because I wanted work on an interesting , relevant AI project, thereby gaining some skills that really would be needed in the industry or research.
Skills I gained : Data Collection, Data Processing, Pipelining, Research, Research Paper Writing, Deep Learning, Data Fusion, Sensor Fusion, Co-Learning, Presentation, Effective Communication, Team Building.
Going forward, I can assure you that most of the higher studies interviews prefer it if you have done some excellent research work or published a paper in a reputed journal. SCAAI came as an opportunity to me, which I had grabbed in my second year itself. I exposed myself deliberately, went to the teachers to ask for career advice. They knew I'm interested to work in AI and helped me getting onboarded to the project smoothly and it was one of a kind experience, which I won't ever forget - Immense learning in 1-2 years.
Experience at SCAAI
SCAAI pushed me to go out of my comfort zone and enabled me to learn Sensor Fusion Deep Learning. Initially I had done 2-3 online courses on deep learning but wasn't very sure on how to apply it onto a real-time project. I had a chance to talk with Rahee Ma'am and Parag Sir regarding a patented project, which sounded exciting to me - combining Sensor Data and Thermal Image for a better detection of Gas Leakage. It helped me refine my Data Analysis, Extraction, Processing, Pipelining skills. The project was a combination of AI + Hardware, which I believed was quite a new, innovative thing. There were many issues in the starting but I eventually learnt how to debug my code. The moment when fix the error on your own is one of the best feelings.
I enhanced my Time Management Skills, Published a SCOPUS indexed Research Paper within a time period. I learnt to ask - WHY, WHAT, HOW? Overall, my journey and experience with SCAAI has been immensely good and extremely levelled up my project building skills. I would definitely recommend my juniors to work with SCAAI and talk to the mentors to get a better clarity.
