ArmInfo. As a result of cooperation between the Center for Creative Technologies of TUMO and Beeline, for the second year in a row, leading international  specialists visit Armenia, who create exceptional educational  opportunities for TUMO students.

 According to the press service of  Beeline, this year TUMO hosted master classes: short-term and  intensive educational programs in the field of machine learning, web  programming, 3D modeling, robotics, etc.

"We are very pleased that with the help of our team, such deep  knowledge becomes available to young people in Armenia, opens up new  opportunities in terms of training and for further work," said Hayk  Yesayan, Director General of Telecom Armenia (TM Beeline).

In particular, according to the source, at the master class of MIT  student Lara Schonkwiller, TUMO students learned the Python and Numpy  programming languages, the basics of human voice perception and sound  processing, as well as the coding of musical compositions.

At a master class by Microsoft artificial intelligence specialist  Shahbaz Mogali at TUMO centers in Yerevan and Gyumri, students,  through machine learning and natural language processing (NLP)  programs, created a program that can identify elements of sarcasm in  text.

Together with senior Facebook programmer Raffi Hovakimyan, TUMO  students created fullstack applications from scratch and mastered  open-sourcestack skills.

At a workshop by Anthony Deasy of the University of New Jersey, the  program participants had the opportunity to create a device that  charges a small battery using solar energy.  Together with Kyle  D'Souza from Stanford University, the students learned skills for  building a mobile app, including adding text, images, and buttons,  using ReactNative.
