Syllabus

The course is built from five main topics on AI in Practice:

Multimodal Machine Learning and Image Analysis - the National Police Lab AI (National Police and University of Amsterdam) and AI for Scientific Discovery in Publishing - the Discovery Lab (Elsevier and Vrije Universiteit).
Exploiting Structure in Deep Learning - Delta Lab (Bosch and University of Amsterdam) and a Bonus Track on Questions for Data Scientists in Software Engineering (AI for FinTech Research).
Thematic Track on Compliance & Ethics of AI - a variety of labs (University of Twente, Vrije Universiteit, ING, and Dutch National Police).
AI Applications in FinTech - the AI for FinTech Research (ING and Delft University of Technology).
Robotics - the AIRLab Delft (Ahold Delhaize and Delft University of Technology).

In each module of this course each topic is explained from the perspective of a selection of guest lecturers from ICAI labs, working in industry or academia.

This course is designed for people who want to apply AI in their own practical situation. This applies to managers who want to know what AI can do for their companies, data analysts and consultants who want to understand how AI can be applied in their business processes, or students who want to understand how the results of AI research can be translated into practical applications.
