NUS SCALE / Youth / Youth Programme: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (Computer vision)

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING (COMPUTER VISION)

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Machine Learning (ML), a branch of Artificial Intelligence, has proven useful in many fields, such as medical diagnosis, e-commerce, security, education, and so on. This short course introduces the basic technical concepts in ML, especially where it is used in image processing. You will learn enough to implement a simple system that recognizes traffic signs, and be able to further your own in-depth study into this exciting field.
