Artificial Intelligence - Systems and Technologies The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Overview

This Artificial Intelligence - Systems and Technologies (AIST) programme delivered at The Chinese University of Hong Kong emphasizes fundamental mathematics, sciences and theoretical knowledge, and complements this knowledge with practical systems and skills.

Key Facts

• It is a broad area that covers many specializations, such as machine learning, deep learning, knowledge representation/inference, large-scale computing systems and distributed systems, logic/constraint programming, human-computer interaction, natural language processing and big data analytics. It has evolved in multiple disciplines, including finance, medicine, manufacturing, robotics, multimedia, telecommunications and computational linguistics, and there is now a huge demand for AI specialists both locally and globally. But there are critical challenges regarding how to innovate and design solid and rigorous solutions for AI, as well as how to properly address the related ethical and societal issues.
• With the support of a pool of top-tier AI talent and sophisticated scientific research facilities, our programme – Artificial Intelligence: Systems & Technologies (AIST) – aims to equip students with the capability to design and implement AI systems and technologies that can analyse, reason about and infer knowledge from massive information, backed by a rigorous foundation of mathematics, basic sciences, data structures, statistics, algorithms, distributed computing, and so forth. Graduates will be capable of applying AI in various disciplines, such as finance, medicine, manufacturing, robotics, multimedia, telecommunications and computational linguistics, and develop research skills for making cutting-edge innovations in AI that are of practical interest to academia, industry and society.
