ITC576 Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (8)

This subject provides students with an in-depth study of the issues surrounding the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) systems. It will examine the basic mathematical foundations and logic requirements for developing AI and ML systems. AI and ML will be examined in detail together with the need for data analysis, data matching, decision trees, and Bayesian networks. The role of Neural networks in AI and ML will be considered. The subject will provide students with design and development experience in AI and ML programming and will include a practical section using AI and ML techniques.
