Learning Outcomes 1. Understand the structure of the brain and how human cognition, human memory, and human thought processes work based as targets for what Artificial Intelligence applications should strive for an aim at 2. Understand how we can use AI techniques to sense and understand human activities, biometrics and behaviour and in particular how machine learning can be used. Uses of machine learning in this context is also applicable to other AI application areas 3. Information seeking and searching and information finding are the most common tasks we do in our day-to-day lives. This module equips the student with knowledge and understanding of how AI applications like information seeking, question answering, information retrieval, searching and in particular web search, operate 4. The first and possibly still most successful application of machine learning is in image and video processing. This module offers the student an understanding and appreciation of how machine learning as an application of AI, has evolved and has allowed computer vision applications like object and activity recognition, to become robust, effective and mainstream 5. An understanding of how linked data and semantic web technologies operate and are used | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
