I am a graduate in Physics from the Loyola college Chennai. I also have post-graduation in Shipping and logistics management as well as yoga for human excellence. A person keens into an active lifestyle explores new destinations, flexible and friendly from within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional Background:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a sailor by profession and a teacher by passion. I sailed for 14 years in different types of ships in a progressive role until I took command of the ship as captain in the year 2006. I joined AMET, deemed to be a university in the year 2007, and served as the director of \u2013 center for international relations handling over 500 students across 10 different nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I am the dean of the nautical science department training the students to become nautical officer cadets onboard ships and enabling them to command ships as captains. Before I joined the PGP-AIFL program<\/a>, I was and am still working as dean of the nautical science department at AMET University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem which I faced at my workplace<\/strong> was when I applied Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning at Work: <\/strong>Visualising the performance of ships using the past data available and arriving at a better inference to adopt predictive maintenance practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complete context of the problem:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To analyze no of the incidents that happened on a fleet of 20 ships in the last 5 years and to assess the effectiveness of the corrective action taken by fleet superintend and the fleet crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To assess the probability of recurrence of such incidents and action to be taken to curb the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How this problem was affecting my Organization\u2019s Business:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was affecting the safety standards maintained onboard ships. Recurrence of such incidents questions the standard of maintenance, awareness of crew, and their competency to analyze and curb such incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tools & techniques I applied to solve the problem:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used the techniques of two-class logistic regression to classify the problem and visualize the same using Microsoft Azure ML Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Insights of my AI\/ML concept application brought into the picture:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insights about statistical tools available to understand such issues. Insights about better inference about the recurrence of such incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution \/recommendation that I proposed to solve the business problem:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was able to visualize the problem much better by cross-table comparison of data. I was able to explain in which ships corrective actions were more effective. I was able to suggest possible reasons for recurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Impact my recommendations generated at the organization:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the first-hand level, they were able to appreciate the different perspectives from which the problem was visualized. They felt a need for training the senior management in Artificial Intelligence For Leaders (AIFL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How this exercise benefitted me:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helped to express my understanding of the new techniques in which I am getting trained. <\/p>\n\n\n
