The Cultural Activities Committee in the Computer Science Department took part in the workshop titled "Leadership Women in the Era of Development (Challenges and Innovations)," which was held by the University Presidency/Women Empowerment Unit in collaboration with the Department of Registration and Student Affairs and the Department of Control and Systems Engineering. The workshop, in partnership with the Center for Continuing Education, took place on Tuesday, December 26, 2023, in the conference hall of the Control and Systems Engineering Department. The lecture was delivered by Assistant Prof. Dr. Ahmed Sadiq Al-Jaff.

The Computer Science Department discussed a doctoral thesis titled "Multi-Object Tagging System Based On Machine Learning" by the student Suhah Zaher Azab, a PhD candidate in Computer Science, on Tuesday, December 26, 2023, in the discussion hall of the Computer Science Department building. The thesis aims to add attributes to objects using a deep learning network to extract a large number of characteristics for accurate object detection and to assign distinctive attributes to them. The work was applied to build an augmented reality system for Iraqi artifacts, achieving a detection accuracy of 84% in the proposed system. The discussion committee was composed of Prof. Dr. Alaa Abdul Hamid Abdul Latif as the head, with members including Prof. Dr. Yusra Hussein Ali, Assistant Prof. Dr. Suhad Mal Allah Kadhim, Assistant Prof. Dr. Adhraa Jasim Mohammed, Assistant Prof. Dr. Ikhlas Faleh Nasser, and Prof. Dr. Abdul Amir Abdullah Kareem as a member and supervisor.

Under the direct supervision of the Head of the Computer Science Department, Professor Dr. Alaa Kadhim Farhan, the department has launched an electronic program developed by members of the Electronic Systems Committee in the department (Assistant Lecturer Fadhil Abbas Fadhil and Assistant Lecturer Mohammed Thamer Abdulhadi) to track the discussions of faculty members. The system aims to record the number of discussions for each faculty member, ensuring equal and transparent distribution of discussions. This system contributes to achieving balance and fairness in the distribution of academic responsibilities, ensuring the highest standards of efficiency and effectiveness in the educational environment.
