He then went on to complete his MSc degree in Advanced Computer Science from the University of Manchester in 2014. In 2023, he completed his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Essex. [1]

Career

SDey began his career at Samsung Electronics, where he collaborated with the University of Essex to develop a machine learning algorithm designed to optimize battery consumption in smartphones based on user interactions. This work was presented at the DATE 2020 conference. [2] He later joined the National Centre for Nuclear Robotics, where he co-developed SoCodeCNN, a methodology that combines natural language processing and computer vision using convolutional neural networks to increase the resilience of electronic systems against radiation damage. The research team behind SoCodeCNN included Dey, Klaus McDonald-Maier, Amit Kumar Singh, and Dilip Kumar Prasad. [3] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dey co-developed the Nosh app, a mobile application designed to reduce food waste in households using embedded machine learning. Dey and computer engineer Suman Saha co-founded Nosh Technologies, a technology company focused on developing algorithms and technologies to reduce food waste. [4]

Dey is a clinical professor of AI and machine learning at Woxsen University, [5] a lecturer of Data Science at York St John University, [6] and a lecturer of Computer Science at the University of Essex. [7]

Dey writes a column titled "A Window to the Tech World" for the Times of India and contributes to publications such as the Free Press Journal, The Conversation, and Forbes Technology Council.[ citation needed ] In 2020, He gave a TEDx talk at Colchester, UK, with the title "Are We Developing Artificial Intelligence to Support Humanity?".

Artificial intelligence (AI), in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems. It is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and uses learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals. Such machines may be called AIs.

In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), tasks that are hypothesized to require artificial general intelligence to solve are informally known as AI-complete or AI-hard. Calling a problem AI-complete reflects the belief that it cannot be solved by a simple specific algorithm.

Machine learning (ML) is a field of study in artificial intelligence concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data and generalize to unseen data, and thus perform tasks without explicit instructions. Recently, artificial neural networks have been able to surpass many previous approaches in performance.
