CS5061: ENGINEERING AI SYSTEMS (2018-2019)

Last modified: 22 May 2019 17:07


Course Overview

Artificial intelligence has helped solve complex practical problems such as
driving a car, translating text from/to different languages, understanding and
answering questions, and playing games such as chess and Go. This course will
provide students of our MSc in AI with skills to help them engineer AI
systems, equipping them with solid programming skills, and using
state-of-the-practice languages, tools and technologies

Course Description

The course will equip students with knowledge and practical skills for AI system
building. The first part of the course will cover core AI topics and how to
build small-scale working prototypes for these (e.g., search,
reasoning, natural language processing, game playing, machine learning,
planning, and others), with an emphasis on efficiency and use of
state-of-the-practice technologies. The second part of the course will present
methods, tools and technologies for building practical and large-scale AI
systems. Topics will include integrating and extending libraries, programming
for distributed environments (e.g., distributed files systems
for big data), software engineering for AI systems
(including knowledge engineering, project management, and
others).
