Start Date between Sept 22 - July 23

The aim of the module is for students to understand methods of analysis that allow people to gain insights from complex data. The module covers the theoretical basis of a variety of approaches, placed into a practical context using different application domains.

The module introduces the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), taking a strongly integrative and state of the art approach based on deep neural networks. In line with the use of AI in key sectors (e.g. finance, health, law), there is an emphasis on the combination of multiple input modalities – specifically, combining images, text and structured data. Students gain hands-on experience in developing AI systems to address real-world problems, providing the knowledge and skills necessary to develop an AI system as part of an MSc project.

The module will provide an introduction to linguistic theory and terminology. Students will develop understanding of and the ability to use algorithms and resources for implementing and evaluating text mining and analytics systems. Students will be supported to develop solutions using open-source and commercial toolkits, and will be encouraged to consider the applications of data mining and text analytics through case studies in information retrieval and extraction.

This module is designed to help students develop and demonstrate the skills required to carry out a substantial individual project in a chosen aspect of Artificial Intelligence. Core skills for conducting the individual project are developed through guided online learning.
