About this course

In 2023, this course is on campus with remote adjustments only for participants with unavoidable travel restrictions/visa delays. This is a flexible 6 or 12-unit course which allows students to undertake a substantial research project on a machine learning and/or computer vision and/or Artificial Intelligence topic. Students will be expected to carry out independent research on this topic whilst working under a supervisor of an academic or a qualified researcher. The research project can be theoretical, experimental, design or development based on the interests of the student and the availability of supervisors. Project overview and assessment arrangements will be specified at the outset using the School of Computing form 'Independent Study Contract' where applicable. The output of the research project should include a written report and maybe examinable source code.

Learning outcomes

1Formulate and clearly define a research question including appropriate scope, aims and constraints, and identify a suitable methodology to address the problem.
2Apply research skills and methodologies to source, critically evaluate, and synthesise research and technical literature relevant to the project.
3Apply advanced theory, concepts and technical skills to design and conduct experimental, theoretical or computational research tasks.
4Interpret the results and justify the conclusions.
5Communicate the context, motivation, methods, results and conclusions of the project in written and/or oral form, using language and content appropriate to the intended audience.

Assessment
