Prerequisites:

  • Working knowledge of Python.
  • Working knowledge of standard Python ML/DL libraries (sklearn, pytorch).
  • Understanding of core ML/DL concepts (model, methods, training, performance evaluation, overfitting etc.).

Pedagogical objectives:

This course introduces students to the practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) across various industrial domains. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on projects, and case studies, students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to develop and deploy AI solutions to solve real-world problems. Topics covered will include AI models and methods, practices for operating ML-powered solutions, usage of LLMs and ethical considerations in AI.

Evaluation modalities:

Project work; a project assignment to perform after the STC execution will also be evaluated.
