An intensive, 2-year, English-language programme that teaches the development of intelligent systems that can learn, reason, & collaborate. Perform task more efficiently & optimally.
The Artificial Intelligence programme addresses the development of intelligent systems with the ability to learn, reason, and collaborate. These abilities enable intelligent systems to perform tasks more efficiently, optimally, and in a distributed manner. Practical applications range from planning and diagnosis to image recognition, from traditional games such as chess to modern interactive computer games, and from information retrieval to data mining. A group of enthusiastic researchers at the Department of Knowledge Engineering is currently developing systems for domains such as cultural heritage, air traffic control, bio-informatics and computer games. Master's students can write their theses in these and other domains. This is a two-year programme taught in English.
