Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence Programme (2024-2025)

Fundamentals of AI Programme (FAIP) is an elective course that is designed to teach master students the basics of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The aim of the course is to describe fundamental concepts and techniques of AI, explain possibilities and limitation of AI systems, and examine technological and ethical perspectives on AI. 

This course offers a coherent and broad introduction to AI and a small project with the aim to apply AI solutions to a real world problem proposed and supervised by researchers from the TU Delft AI Labs [link: https://www.tudelft.nl/ai/tu-delft-ai-labs ]. This is one whole 15EC course that consists of course work and a project where you develop an AI solution and apply your knowledge. Available projects will be announced starting in June.

You will be offered a broad introduction to topics such as: Data engineering, Ethics in AI, Machine Learning, Unsupervised Learning, Neural Networks, Natural Language Processing, Computer vision, Robotics. 

The setup of this AI elective consists of a blended design whereby the flipped classroom approach is used. Students are offered online video lectures, papers, quizzes to prepare themselves. The day after they have an on-campus session with teaching staff where they dive deeper in the material collectively.

 This course aims at MSc students from all faculties of TU Delft with no to little prior AI knowledge and those that want to explore the field of AI within their own domain. For example, an architecture student that wants to improve their AI knowledge to formulate an AI solution within the architecture domain.

• Prerequisite knowledge: basic programming skills and basic knowledge of statistics. Knowledge of linear algebra is a plus.
• This course is not accessible for computer science and robotics students because it has too much overlap with their programmes.
