About Program







This is part of its efforts to popularize science to the general public and students who are pursuing science as their career. TNSF attempt to focus on students on higher science as everyone knows that learning of science at college within the curriculum is not enough to acquire holistic knowledge of science at the appropriate time. Hence, to fill the gap between what students are acquiring through the curriculum and what it is required, TNSF is planning its activities on higher science to students who are pursuing higher education



In computer science, artificial intelligence (AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans. Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is often used to describe machines (or computers) that mimic "cognitive" functions that humans associate with the human mind, such as "learning" and "problem solving".



Data science is a multi-disciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data.Data science is the same concept as data mining and big data: "use the most powerful hardware, the most powerful programming systems, and the most efficient algorithms to solve problems".



Cryptography or cryptology (from Ancient Greek: κρυπτός, romanized: kryptós "hidden, secret"; and γράφειν graphein, "to write", or -λογία -logia, "study", respectively) is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties called adversaries. More generally, cryptography is about constructing and analyzing protocols that prevent third parties or the public from reading private messages; various aspects in information security such as data confidentiality, data integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation are central to modern cryptography. Modern cryptography exists at the intersection of the disciplines of mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, communication science, and physics.

மனிதர்களின் ஒரு பொதுவான குணத்தைக் கருத்தில் கொண்டு உருவாக்கப்பட்டது, அதாவது நுண்ணறிவு - ஹோமோ செப்பியன்களின் பகுத்தறிவு - இத்தகைய குணத்தை ஓர் இயந்திரத்திலும் வடிவமைக்க முடியும் என துல்லியமாக விவரிக்க முடியும். இது மனதின் இயல்பு மற்றும் அறிவியல் பெருமிதங்களின் எல்லைகள் தொடர்பான பல சிக்கல்களைத் தோற்றுவித்தது, மேலும் இந்த சிக்கல்கள் பழமைச் சின்னங்களிலிருந்து புராணம், புதினம் மற்றும் தத்துவம் போன்றவற்றால் விளக்கப்பட்டன. செயற்கை நுண்ணறிவானது ஒரு கடினமான நன்னம்பிக்கையின் துறையாக இருந்துவந்தது, இது துரதிஷ்டவசமாக பல பின்னடைவுகளுக்கு ஆளானது ஆனால் இன்று, இது தொழில்நுட்பம் சார்ந்த துறையில் ஒரு முக்கியமான பங்கு வகிக்கிறது, மேலும் கணினி அறிவியலில் பல மிகவும் கடினமான பிரச்சனைகளை தீர்ப்பதற்கும் உதவுகிறது.
