| COMP2611 | Artificial Intelligence |
This module is not approved as a discovery module
Objectives
On completion of this module, students should be able to:- apply human-computer interaction methodology to identify user needs, draw requirements, design, and evaluate user-adaptive systems;
- identify most common techniques for user modelling and adaptation and apply them in practical areas;
- implement one or more recommender system techniques in a practical application;
- reason about the significance of user-adaptive systems and directions the field is going to develop.
Learning outcomes
On completion of this module, students should be able to:
-understand and demonstrate coherent and detailed subject knowledge and professional competencies some of which will be informed by recent research/scholarship in the discipline;
-deploy accurately standard techniques of analysis and enquiry within the discipline;
-demonstrate a conceptual understanding which enables the development and sustaining of an argument;
-describe and comment on particular aspects of recent research and/or scholarship;
-appreciate the uncertainty, ambiguity and limitations of knowledge in the discipline;
-make appropriate use of scholarly reviews and primary sources;
-apply their knowledge and understanding in order to initiate and carry out an extended piece of work or project;
Skills outcomes
Experience and understanding of techniques for user modelling and their application to build user adaptive intelligent systems
