About this course

This research-oriented short course gives students the opportunity to study and have a good understanding of advanced and emerging subjects in the field of artificial intelligence. This course, unlike many others, will not always focus on imparting only tried-and-true techniques. Instead, we may at times, concentrate on areas where the state of the art is still insufficient and further research is required.

This is also reflected in the logistics of the short course, which place a lot of focus on live discussion, papers, and activities that encourage students to consider new concepts. This short course aims to help students know the landscape of AI technologies allowing them to navigate their way through industry and a wide range of AI-related technologies and research-related issues.

Students will be introduced to each topic while being directed to reading papers, which will expose them to the state-of-the-art. The short course will help students develop their skills in independent learning, research skills, as well as practical skills.

• To undertake research on emerging and advanced topics within AI.
• To provide students with practical experience in using and engaging with a number of AI topics and technologies.
