Compendium of Best AI Solutions Use Cases
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)

Artificial Intelligence
Ability of machines to perform functions similar to that of human mind like
perceiving, learning, and problem solving
Machine Learning
Supervised 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

Machine 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
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
Unsupervised Learning
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
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.

AI is the need of the hour AI promotes innovation AI enhances workforce AI helps automating
for efficient and effective which is must for the skills and abilities making complex solutions
industrial , economic and growth in today’s era them to be more powerful intelligently for better
social growth efficiency

qER: Prioritizing head CT scans by detecting emergency findings

 Head CT scans of patients with brain hemorrhage need to be evaluated immediately

 However, radiologists evaluate head CT scans on first-come-first-serve basis
PROBLEM  Productivity of radiologists is hampered since there’s no way of automated prioritization
 For critical cases relying only on the readings of trainee radiologists could potentially lead to

aid diagnosis, prioritizes scans that need immediate action, and facilitates decision‐making in
remote locations without an immediate radiologist availability
 Deep Learning to detect scans with emergency findings
 Streamlining the radiologist workflow by prioritizing these scans

This is important new technology, the strong results of the deep

learning system support the feasibility for use of automated head CT scan
interpretation as an adjunct to medical care. This improves the quality and
consistency of radiologic interpretation.

Cost effective rail track fault detection

 Traditional railway operational activities involve railroad & regular maintenance by personnel
manually inspecting and detecting the rail track for faults.
PROBLEM
 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.

Developed a custom AI solution that examines the video captured at real speeds,
to detect a wide range of faults in the rail tracks.

 Glossary (1/3)
Algorithm: A formula or set of rules for performing a task. In AI, the algorithm tells the machine
how to go about finding answers to a question or solutions to a problem on its own; classification,
clustering, recommendation, and regression are four of the most popular types.
Analogical reasoning: Solving problems by using analogies, by comparing to past experiences.
Artificial Intelligence (AI): A machine’s ability to make decisions and perform tasks that simulate
human intelligence and behaviour.
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN): A learning model created to act like a human brain that solves
tasks that are too difficult for traditional computer systems to solve.
Autonomous: Autonomy is the ability to act independently of a ruling body. In AI, a machine or
vehicle is referred to as autonomous if it doesn’t require input from a human operator to function
properly.
Bayesian network: A type of probabilistic graphical models built from data and/or expert opinion.
They are graphs explaining the chances of one thing happening depend on the chances that
another thing happened. They can be used for a wide range of tasks including prediction, anomaly
detection, diagnostics, automated insight, reasoning, time series prediction and decision making
under uncertainty
Chatbots: A chat robot (chatbot for short) that is designed to simulate a conversation with human
users by communicating through text chats, voice commands, or both. They are a commonly used
interface for computer programs that include AI capabilities.
Classification: Classification algorithms let machines assign a category to a data point based on
training data.
Cluster analysis: A type of unsupervised learning used for exploratory data analysis to find hidden
patterns or grouping in data; clusters are modelled with a measure of similarity defined by metrics
such as Euclidean or probabilistic distance.
Clustering: Clustering algorithms let machines group data points or items into groups with similar
characteristics.
Cognitive computing: A computerized model that mimics the way the human brain thinks. It
involves self-learning through the use of data mining, natural language processing, and pattern
recognition.
Computer vision: The field of A.I. and image processing that train machines how to interpret the
visual world
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN): A type of neural networks that identifies and makes sense
of images.

artificial neural networks composed of cascading layers of information
Facial recognition: The recognition of faces and emotional states in images or video signals.
This is commonly done through point annotations called landmarks
Heuristics: These are rules drawn from experience used to solve a problem more quickly than
traditional problem-solving methods in AI. While faster, a heuristic approach typically is less optimal
than the classic methods it replaces.
Image recognition: Recognizing the specific types of objects in given image or video datasets
Machine intelligence: An umbrella term that encompasses machine learning, deep learning, and
classical learning algorithms.
Machine Learning (ML): A field of AI focused on getting machines to act without being
programmed to do so. Machines “learn” from patterns they recognize and adjust their behavior
accordingly.
Natural Language Processing (NLP): The ability of computers to understand, or process natural
human languages and derive meaning from them. NLP typically involves machine interpretation of
text or speech recognition.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR): A system that detects images of handwritten or printed
text and converts them into machine-readable text
