Our Success Story
From our inauguration in 2015 to 2019, we've covered an awesome journeyEight of the TUKL Interns were selected for funded internships in EPFL, CERN, Switzerland, Rutgers, DFKI, Germany and more.
We were awarded Best Researcher SEECS Award in 2017 for our extensive research in Machine and Deep Learning.
For the past 4 consecutive years, our projects have been one of the most exquisitive FYP Projects in Open House.
In 2017 we were able to produce 5 publications in 14th IAPR Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition and one in 13th IAPR Conference on Document Analysis Systems.
The main purpose of the workshop was to bring together experts from various application domains to highlight recent research in the Pattern Recognition field and discuss possible future directions and collaborations.
