Youth Programme: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (Data science)

NUS SCALE / Youth Programmes / Youth Programme: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (Data science)

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The programme introduces participants to the latest technologies in artificial intelligence and machine learning. At the completion of this course, students will have the knowledge on the fundamentals of AI including the various types of machine learning algorithms. This course also aims to equip students with skills and hands-on experience in applying AI and ML on real-world data using the Internet-of-Things as an example application.

PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS

  • Thematic discussions, live tutorials and short practice sessions from NUS faculty and teaching assistants.
  • The live tutorials will cover hands-on exercises and in-depth discussions through interactive breakout rooms.
  • The programme is designed with Continuous Assessments format to sharpen the understanding and application of ideas learned during the lectures.
  • Mini Project – There will be a mini group project in which students will solve and analyse a problem related to AI and Machine Learning.

Who Should Attend

University students majoring in Science, Technology, Engineering, Computing, and Mathematics subjects.

Pre-Requisites

There are no specific pre-requisites in terms of math or computational science. However, familiarity with scientific programming languages such as Python would be helpful. The class will incorporate practical assignments in Python. Also, exposure to calculus, linear algebra, and statistics would be helpful.
