Summary | *** Please note this course has been replaced by a 20-credit course "Group Research Project (Biomedical AI)" (INFR11203) from 2020/21. ***
This course requires students to undertake a significant group project in biomedical artificial intelligence, with the advice of a member of staff and a PhD student with a biomedical background. The project requires the application of skills learned through other courses and requires the development and synthesis of new skills, including problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills. |
Course description |
The course is a group research project where the students will work in groups of 2-3 on an application of Artificial Intelligence to a biomedical problem. All projects will have supervision from a member of staff and will be mentored by a PhD student from a biomedical collaborating group, enabling the students to work in an interdisciplinary environment and be embedded within the application.
Upon completion of the course, the students will have acquired;
- The ability to coordinate the work of a team with diverse intellectual background.
- The ability to design and implement AI systems suitable to biomedical problems.
- The ability to communicate novel scientific results orally and in writing.
