Intelligence-Practical
Unit 1. Infrastructure and Platforms for Building
Applications using AI
Hardware used in building AI applications: Processors - CPU, GPU, TPU, NPU, Memory - RAM, VRAM,
Storage - HDD, SSD
Platforms for building applications using AI: Online platforms (Example - Google AutoML, [Link],
Teachable Machine or similar platforms - for practice only); Desktop (No-code/Low- code) platforms
(Orange Data Mining, KNIME, Weka, RapidMiner or similar tools - for practice only).
Edge AI: Concept; Applications in daily life in devices like Refrigerators, Led Bulbs, Surveillance Cameras,
Micro Ovens, Smart Cars/Scooters; Edge AI in smart Appliances
Unit 2: Foundations of Data - Types, Ethics and Utility in
Building Applications using AI Importance of data in
building AI applications: Data as the fuel for AI, Role of big
data in training AI models.
Conceptual Foundations of Data: Data vs. Information vs. Knowledge.
Structure of Data: Structured, Semi-Structured, and Unstructured Data.
Modalities of Data: Text, Image, Audio, Video, Tabular, Time-Series, and Spatial Data. Formats of Data:
Text Formats (CSV, JSON, XML), Image Formats (JPEG, GIF, PNG), Audio/Video (MP3, WAV, MP4, AVI).
Data Repositories: Definition of public Datasets; Definition of private Datasets; Importance of Public
Datasets, Popular Public Dataset Repositories (Example - Kaggle, Hugging Face Datasets, UCI Machine
Learning Repository, Google Dataset Search or similar ones - for demonstration only), Dataset licensing
and usage rights.
Ethics, Privacy in Data Usage: Privacy concerns related to data usage; Regulations governing data usage -
GDPR, HIPAA (Overview), Ethical use of data, Responsible AI data practices.
Unit 3. The AI Data Pipeline: From Collection to Model
Readiness
The AI Data Pipeline: Stages and Components: Key Stages (Data Collection, Annotation, Preprocessing,
Splitting, Feeding into AI Models
Core Components: Ingestion, Storage, Processing, Validation, Delivery
Data Collection Methods for AI: Manual Input (Surveys, forms, human-curated entries), Sensors & IoT
Devices (Real-time data from physical environments), System Logs & Transactions, Web Scraping
(Automated extraction from websites), APIs (Structured data access from external platforms)
Data Annotation and Labelling: Definition & Importance; Annotation Methods: Manual Annotation,
Automated Annotation; Types of Annotation: Classification, Bounding Boxes, Segmentation, Transcription,
Named Entity Recognition (NER)
Data Cleaning and Preprocessing: Importance of data cleaning; Understanding “Dirty” Data: Missing
Values, Duplicates, Incorrect Formats, Outliers, Noise; Steps in Data Cleaning: Identify Issues, Handle
Errors (Imputation, Removal), Validate Cleaned Data
Data Splitting: Splitting data into training set and test set.
Data Transformation Techniques: Normalization, Transformation, Feature Engineering (Conceptual)
Unit 4. AI-Powered No-Code Development: Vibe Coding
and Workflow Automation
Vibe Coding: Concept & Workflow: What is Vibe Coding and how it works; Comparison: Vibe Coding vs.
traditional programming; Tools Overview: Google AI Studio, Firebase Studio, Replit, Cursor, Windsurf (for
demonstration and practice only); Tool Selection: Choosing the right platform for your needs; Benefits &
Challenges: Advantages and limitations of Vibe Coding; Paradigm Shift: From code-centric to prompt-
driven development; Prompt Crafting: Structure and examples of effective app prompts.
Workflow Automation using AI: Fundamentals: What is workflow automation and its relevance in the AI
era; Real-world Applications: Auto-email responses, Feedback summarization, Social media alerts &
analytics; Toolset Overview: Zapier, Power Automate, n8n, Lindy and other similar tools (for demonstration
and practice only); Choosing the Right Tool: Features, use cases, and integration potential.
