We know that most guest lectures end up being a tad bit boring and meaningless. Therefore, after scrounging through the list of available topics, we bring to you the one most useful and understandable. The title of the lecture is:

“Big, Open, Data and Semantics for a Real-World Application Near You”

In this talk, the speaker will demonstrate and discuss how large volumes of data (Big), made available publicly (Open), can be productively used with semantic web and analytical techniques to drive day-to-day applications.

What’s more? Dr. Srivastava would mainly focus on why Artificial intelligence can’t help us do mundane activities, like fighting diseases, commuting to work or reducing financial frauds. Under the segment titled “Call for Action – A Local Suggestion”, our speaker will use the talk’s principles for an initiative the students can undertake under guidance of faculty and external entities (e.g. govt – Data.gov.in and industry).

Yes! This is not just a guest lecture. You may walk out with a concrete and useful project in hand!

The segment would be taken up during the event itself. After discussions with the speaker, we have finalized “water pollution in Ganga” to be the local issue for the segment.

Requirements:

• The event is open to all branches and batches.
• All of you are requested to sign up for free on this link. This would let us know the approx audience size::  http://goo.gl/forms/c6imJCE4ev
• Please bring a small notebook and pen. No pre requisite skills are required.

Other info:

• The guest lecture won’t clash with any other workshop/event.
• The total time span would be 90 minutes only.

Till then,

Keep learning stuff!

What made the 2 hr event special, was that it didn’t look for hard core coding implementations. The users needed to run their codes in their brains and print only the output. The questions ranged from simple to tough levels testing the numerical and analytic abilities of the participants.

Like CQM #2, this event was held on codedemon.in as well. We didn’t release the names of the winners, as it would have failed our main purpose. We’ll be back with more exciting stuff.

Till then,
Keep learning,

The questions are put into practice and the editorials are uploaded. http://codedemon.in/#/problems. Go check them out and find out what were you missing. For any queries or doubts feel free to contact us here.

We would like a moment to thank Ashesh Vidyut Sir for letting us use CodeDemon and being really patient with the testing process of the round. We would also like to thank all the seniors who have been directly or indirectly involved in helping us create a programming culture at BITP.

We hope to see the same enthusiasm in the near future.

We have a beautiful back end setup in the form of ABPOJ, which has all your data and the questions and the judge. So, it was a matter of surprise when some of you called complaining that the questions weren’t visible. On further investigation though, it turned out they were there. Although not in a form some of you might be expecting! No animations right? Boring people we are

The 2k14 batch was the most active one. We hope it was a local maxima in all of yours’ learning graph, as far as your programming careers are concerned. 2k13, watch out! Here’s the list of table toppers::

1. deepak_kumar94 40 pts
2. vaporwave 40 pts
3. Raks8877 40 pts
4. RE 30 pts

Congrats to all the winners, keep the streak alive!

And here’s the stats for nerds::

Total teams : 76

Teams with points : 20

Total no. of submissions: 306

Total AC : 46

AC/T ratio : 15.03

Most submissions : “Velocity”

First submission : deepak_kumar94 (BH 2 Stairs)

Languages submitted in : C, C++, Java

Hope all of you had a good time. Comment, message your feedback about the contest here or on FB, on how the smoothness of the ABPOJ blew your mind, on how bad our customer care service was, etc. Watch out for the next post with editorials!

The 2k13 batch was the most active one. We hope it was a local maxima in all of yours’ learning graph, as far as your programming careers are concerned. 2k12 batch closely followed, in terms of number of participants. We would love to have more people from 2k14 though! Here’s the list of table toppers::

1. Ganthet 30 pts

2. Optimus_Prime 30 pts

3. GeForce 20 pts

Congrats to all the winners, keep the streak alive!

And here’s the stats for nerds::

Total teams : 40

Teams with points : 14

Total no. of submissions: 185

Total AC : 27

AC/T ratio : 14.5

Most submissions : “At the movies”

First submission : 14 minutes (Vaporwave)

Languages submitted in : C, C++, Java, Python

Hope all of you had a good time. Comment, message your feedback about the contest here or on FB, on how the smoothness of the ABPOJ blew your mind, on how the refreshment video link at the end of the contest could’ve been better (What you didn’t know? Better stick around till the end next time :D), etc. Watch out for the next post with editorials!
