COIT12213 - Applied Artificial Intelligence

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Artificial Intelligence (AI) involves developing systems that are autonomous and intelligent. This unit introduces you to contemporary and emerging AI technologies to address problems such as medical diagnosis, manufacturing optimisation and transport scheduling. You will investigate the application of AI technologies in areas such as computer vision, machine learning and deep learning. Fundamental AI concepts will be considered, including artificial neural networks and model validation techniques. You will develop AI systems using industry tools and learn to develop a business case for an AI system.

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Assessment Overview

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

This information will not be available until 8 weeks before term.

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Source: Teaching Team
Feedback
Students feel overloaded with many new theoretical and practical concepts each week, making it difficult for some students to grasp key AI concepts.
Recommendation
Increase practical materials on important AI topics, such as image analysis, face recognition and deep learning models, while reducing some of the theory on less important topics.
