Foreword

If there is one technology that has disrupted every aspect of human existence it will have to be Artificial Intelligence. AI has pervaded across every industry,

every country, and every sphere of life. It is transforming businesses, economies and engagements across the world. India is uniquely positioned to gain

immensely from this prospect as we take huge strides to find our place in the sun. The Government of India too has recognized this game changing

phenomena and has crafted a comprehensive strategy for building a vibrant AI ecosystem in India.

To showcase and recognize the innovative, high impact and hi-tech AI solutions that organizations have delivered from India, NASSCOM Centre of Excellence

for Data Science & Artificial Intelligence (CoEDSAI) launched the first “NASSCOM AI GAME CHANGER AWARDS 2018” We received an overwhelming

response with over 300 use cases and after a stringent process of evaluation, the esteemed jury shortlisted the best 50 top use cases which is presented in

this compendium.

We are highly encouraged by the depth and breadth of use cases covered, be it in the highly evolved area of BFSI or niche areas like fraud detection, smart

policing and healthcare. What is heartening to note is that the innovation, tech stack and the implementation approach followed by these firms are highly

competitive and adhering to global standards. We can confidently say that AI can accelerate growth not only for the industry but for India by addressing

bottlenecks in efficiencies, providing quality healthcare, education and improve the overall well- being of the nation. We hope that these use cases will help the

reader envisage a clear picture about the immense potential and opportunity that AI solutions has created not in labour and cost savings but in actual tangible

growth.

Happy Reading!

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Source: NASSCOM, Expert System, McKinsey & Co., SAS 6

Artificial Intelligence

Ability of machines to perform functions similar to that of human mind like

perceiving, learning, and problem solving

Machine LearningMachine learning refers to ability of computer systems to

improve their performance by exposure to data without the need

to follow explicitly programmed instructions

Deep Learning

Supervised Learning

Unsupervised Learning

Reinforcement Learning

In Supervised Learning, the machine is trained on data which is labeled and tagged. The

learning algorithm can also compare its output with the correct, intended output and find errors in

order to modify the model accordingly. Ex: Regression Analysis

In Unsupervised Learning, data used by machine is neither classified nor labeled allowing the

algorithm to act on that information without guidance. The system doesn’t figure out the right

output, but it explores the data and can draw inferences from datasets to describe hidden

structures from unlabeled data. Ex: Clustering Analysis

Reinforcement learning is more of an experience based learning in which decisions are made

sequentially. In this, the learning method interacts with its environment by producing actions and

discovers errors or rewards.

A type of machine learning which sets up

basic parameters about the data and

trains the computer to learn on its own by

recognizing patterns using multiple layers

of processing

AI is the need of the hour

for efficient and effective

industrial , economic and

social growth

AI promotes innovation

which is must for the

growth in today’s era

AI enhances workforce

skills and abilities making

them to be more powerful

AI helps automating

complex solutions

intelligently for better

efficiency

Cost effective rail track fault detection

PROBLEM

Traditional railway operational activities involve railroad & regular maintenance by personnel

manually inspecting and detecting the rail track for faults.

The client, a leading railroad company, records high-definition videos of rail tracks as the train

moves along the tracks. This video would then be evaluated by trained professionals to detect any

issues with the track. This process would be conducted on a periodic basis. The client was looking

for a cost-effective solution to this process, using AI.

SOLUTION

Developed a custom AI solution that examines the video captured at real speeds,

to detect a wide range of faults in the rail tracks.

Developed custom de-noising nets to correct for dust/fog/light and performed

pre-processing activities to account for features specific to rail track videos

(e.g. angle, aspect ratio, focus).

We trained custom deep nets to detect and annotate specific parts of the video

with fault-tags and geo-tags. The AI would then appropriately alert the maintenance department.

IMPACT Considerably reduce the degree of manual effort in analyzing the videos

Significantly more accurate in detecting faults – both early-stage and late-stage.

Estimate the eventual impact of the solution to be of the order of $10-12 million annually.

through a system of rewards and punishments — starting as a novice and improving with practice

and feedback.

Speech recognition: The recognition of words and/or emotional state in an audio signal

Supervised learning: A technique that teaches a machine-learning algorithm to solve a specific

task using data that has been carefully labeled by a human. Everyday examples include most

weather prediction and spam detection.

Training data: In machine learning, the training data set is the data given to the machine during

the initial “learning” or “training” phase. From this data set, the machine is meant to gain some

insight into options for the efficient completion of its assigned task through identifying relationships

between the data

Transfer learning: This method tries to take training data used for one thing and reused it for a

new set of tasks, without having to retrain the system from scratch.

Unsupervised learning: A type of machine learning in which human input and supervision are

extremely limited, or absent altogether, throughout the process. In unsupervised learning, the

machine is left to identify patterns and draw its own conclusions from the data sets it is given. The

most common unsupervised learning method is cluster analysis.
