Asif is exceptionally well versed in topics and has the best didactic approach of any teacher/instructor I have had in 30+ years of postgraduate studies . . . reminds me of Richard Feynman and his great books on physics. Asif’s geometric approach is profoundly … illuminating and prod to learn more.
Dan Cashman, Senior Scientist, Univ. of California, BerkeleyAsif sir is a treasure trove of knowledge. We attended his workshop on ‘Data Visualization with Python’ and it was amazing how he presented the subject. He explained the concepts in a manner that is easy to follow, and also made the sessions very interesting and enjoyable. He introduced us to various Python libraries for visualization and taught us the step-by-step approach to transform a basic visualization into a well-polished, print-worthy format. In addition to visualization, he provided so much insight into the latest developments in the fields of ML and AI. He also shared some cool resources for further learning. The sessions left us inspired and hungry to learn more. We will definitely be going back to Asif sir and Support Vectors for more!
Athira Fnu, Athira Fnu, Acuvity…explained from a geometric perspective that is not easily found in books…It is a big facility that can seat about 50 people. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided. I think the greatest part of this (or any other class that Asif offers …
Subhash Gaur, Senior Director Software Development, OracleExcellent facility, unlimited access, very neat and clean and quite training room and labs env. Course material: very comprehensive and excellent mix and coverage of theory and labs. Instructor: very knowledgeable and passionate about teaching and makes sure that one really understands the concept … very good analogies and examples to explain the subject. Overall the best instructor I have ever experienced.
It was my pleasure to join the Introductary Course. It was very valuable for me. My goal was to understand the workings of the model, interpreting models….The instuctor was the best knowledgeable instructor I have seen in this industry. One word “Top Notch”… his passion was around teaching and grooming. Also he has brought up start-ups and sold so he has industry experience too. I would highly recommend the instructor and the course to any individual and corperation for corporate training.

Plutarch
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. “For the mind does not require filling like a bottle, but rather, like wood, it only requires kindling to create in it an impulse to think independently and an ardent desire for the truth.
Our Goal: build the next generation of data scientists and AI engineers
