Sehore : The Mathematics Division, School of Advanced Sciences and
Languages (SASL), VIT Bhopal University successfully organized a three-day International
Workshop titled “Numerical & Optimization Techniques for Machine Learning
in Real-World Applications” from 11th to 13th February 2026, in online mode. Technical
sponsorship for the workshop was extended by the Madhya Pradesh Council of
Science and Technology (MPCST), Bhopal.
The workshop aimed to bridge the
gap between foundational mathematical principles and their applications in
Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). It brought together
eminent academicians, researchers, and industry experts from premier
institutions across India and Europe, creating a rich interdisciplinary
learning environment.
The inaugural session was held on
11th February 2026 and was graced by university dignitaries, faculty
members, and participants. The program began with Saraswati Vandana, followed

introduction was delivered by Dr. Anant Kant Shukla (Convener), and the Vote of
Thanks was presented by Dr. Neha Choubey, Convener of the workshop. Special
appreciation was extended to MPCST, Bhopal for technical sponsorship and to the
university management for institutional support.
Over the three days, expert
lectures covered a wide range of advanced topics including, Statistics behind
Large Language Models, Fuzzy logic and nonlinear differential equations,
Computational intelligence, Spectral and numerical methods in ML, Dynamical
systems, chaos and bifurcation, Möbius transform in robust ML, Game theory
applications, Mathematical modeling in biological systems, Evolving AI
landscape, Security assurance frameworks etc.
Renowned speakers from institutions
such as IIT Roorkee, IIT Delhi, Chennai Mathematical Institute, South Asian
University, ABV-IIITM Gwalior, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, and
international research organizations delivered expert sessions, enriching the
academic discourse.
The workshop concluded with a
valedictory session, certificate distribution, and participant feedback. A
final assessment and quiz were conducted to reinforce learning outcomes.
Participants appreciated the academic depth of the sessions and expressed
strong interest in similar future programs.
The workshop stood as a
significant academic milestone, strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration
and reinforcing VIT Bhopal University’s commitment to research, innovation, and
