“The travel grant allowed me to participate in one of the top conferences in computer vision and machine learning. The experience that I gained by interacting with fellow researchers around the world is unparallel. I thank KIAC for giving opportunity to Indian students like me to present our work at such an esteemed venue.”

“Kotak AI Centre support for travel grants is a blessing for AI researchers, as the students don’t have to worry about external funding sources if the paper gets accepted in top-tier AI conferences. The AI Centre has provided funding for only the top AI conferences, which encourages students to publish research papers of top-notch quality at these conferences. The Centre has had a positive impact on the AI research landscape in IISc.”

“ICCV is one of the top tier conferences and a highly competitive venue to publish. Very few papers from India were published at ICCV. This year, only 16 papers were from India among 2300 papers presented at ICCV. KIAC ‘s travel support immensely helped the researchers to travel and present their papers. Also, the acknowledgement given to KIAC in these papers gives visibility to KIAC at international level and will help in getting Visiting Professors to IISc through KIAC. This great initiative of KIAC should be continued. “

“NeurIPS is among the premier machine learning / AI conferences in the world and being chosen to deliver a tutorial at the meeting is a unique opportunity. KIAC stepped up in a time of need to generously offer financial support for my travel to the conference in USA. Such support goes a long way in meeting the needs of Indian researchers to stay updated on cutting-edge research advances, as well as helping to improve the perception of Indian science and technology on the global stage. I appreciate KIAC for its commitment to supporting the Indian AI research ecosystem through its grants programme.”
