Description In the final semester, from May to August, students work on a practicum or major Artificial Intelligence research project of a practical and applied nature . Here, the students individually or in small teams develop prototype systems to solve a real-world problem. The projects, which may be sponsored by external clients or involve some of the students' or staff's own ideas, typically require feasibility studies followed by the creation of a project plan, and the development of a rigorously validated research experiment in Artificial Intelligence. The final research output involves the production of a scientific report/paper. This also allows students to work on projects for external or funding organisations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
