OBJECTIVES

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The MSc program addresses strong Artificial Intelligence, as a distinct domain of computer science and offers courses that cover a wide spectrum of well-established Artificial Intelligence topics in a comprehensive curriculum, targeting to skills and competences that graduates must have: This creates a firm basis for graduates to have the abilities needed to use, improve existing, and develop new Artificial Intelligence methods, with a creative attitude, advancing science and technology.

 

Specifically, the program aims to educate scientists who design, develop and implement

  1. systems and methods adhering to ethical rules,
  2. machine learning methods, with the aim of automating the decision-making process in a data driven way,
  3. knowledge representation and reasoning methods,
  4. methods for developing and integrating intelligent agents and robotic systems,
  5. search, planning and optimization methods,
  6. natural language processing methods,
  7. solutions to specific problems,

in various fields of human activity and science, in an environment of interaction between research topics and fields of application.
