| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To improve understanding of modern artificial intelligence (AI) by learning to code, debug and train machine learning algorithms. Students will learn about the theory as well as the implementation of state-of-the-art supervised and unsupervised algorithms. The module will use popular examples to showcase AI applications in reasoning and decision-making, language understanding, image and activity recognition tasks. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Evaluate the principal theories, concepts, and methods used in the development of complex intelligent systems. |
| 2 | Design experiments for complex machine learning algorithms, involving the identification, definition, conceptualisation, and analysis of the algorithms. |
| 3 | Create solutions involving the application and evaluation of a wide range of advanced AI models for real-world problems. |
| 4 | Evaluate techniques used to ensure data quality and understand the ethical and transparency issues related to AI. |
| 5 | Critically appraise relevant literature in AI. |
| Indicative Module Content |
