RESEARCH-BASED PROGRAMME - AI AND DEEP LEARNING
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
The AI and Deep Learning Research Programme is a foundational program that will help you understand the capabilities, challenges, and consequences of AI and deep learning. The program will benefit students by preparing them for research and allowing them to participate in the development of leading-edge AI technology. Topics include deep learning neural networks for structured data, computer vision, and natural language tasks.
The programme will be delivered through synchronous lectures and mentoring sessions and interactive Q&A sessions. Towards the end of the programme, students will work in groups to submit a group paper on the topic of interest.
