About: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not only bringing forth unprecedented research, innovation and commercialization opportunities, but also providing an entirely new methodology for scientific research and discovery. Effective application of AI requires a good understanding of its fundamental and an AI way of thinking. This lecture series aims at introducing AI to non-technical professionals who wish to employ AI in their scientific research and business development. It provides the necessary vocabulary and conceptual understanding required to describe and discuss problems and proper use of contemporary AI, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). In addition, it will provide opportunities for participants to appreciate and understand some of the successful AI applications in real-world, as well as the limitations of AI techniques. The series will also provide the participants with general information on the commonly used AI tools and an opportunity to discuss their own problems with AI experts who deliver the lecture series.
The lecture series consists of the following four modules:
Who will benefit: The series is specifically designed
for the following cohort of professionals who are
not from Computer Science and Data Science disciplines
Expected Outcomes: Through the series, participants will have an opportunity to learn how to
Certificate: Certificates on
individual modules will be issued to the participants who complete the
modules.
The series will be delivered by the members of Centre for Artificial Intelligence (CAI), University of Wollongong, in a Dual-Mode (onsite on Wollongong campus and online via Zoom).
The lecture series in 2022/2023 is free thanks to the sponsorship of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences. The number of seats is limited.
Note that (a) the four modules are organized sequentially, later modules would assume the knowledge covered in the previous modules; (b) the number of available seats is limited in order to facilitate effective interactions among the lecturers and the participants; and (c) registered participants will be notified with the onsite venue or online zoom link in advance.
