This will further Samsung’s commitment to its vision of #PoweringDigitalIndia.”

Collaborative research projects will be open to third and fourth year B.Tech and M.Tech students and Ph.D. scholars at KLE Tech. Students will also be encouraged to publish papers jointly with SRI-B engineers, pinning their research work done at the Data Engineering Lab in India. The SEED Lab could be considered as a key component of Samsung’s global AI Vision.

The Samsung SEED lab is spread over 3,000 sq. ft. and is equipped with facilities such as a special dark room with lighting equipment to conduct experiments on multimedia in varied lighting conditions, devices and accessories, image quality analysis tools, amongst others. It also has backend infrastructure to store, process and archive large volumes of data.
