Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Manage large-scale software development projects.
    • Apply, mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired in order to help lead and complete a project.
    • Lead a project by mastering its complexity and taking into account the objectives, allocated resources and constraints that characterise it.
    • Demonstrate independence and their ability to work alone or in teams.
  • Master communication techniques.
    • Communicate, both orally and in writing, their findings, original proposals, knowledge and underlying principles, in a clear, structured and justified manner.
  • Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
    • Aquire new knowledge independently.
  • Apply scientific methodology.
    • Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Practical (hands-on) knowledge of the AI tools (mostly deep nets and deep reinforcement learning); knowledge og the state-of-the-art deep net architectures for solving AI problems.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Three applicative challenges in AI, coming from various domains are proposed. For each challenge, 3 hours are devoted to theory, followed by two 3-hours co-working sessions in teams, and a report is prepared by students at home.
A series of seminars are organized in parallel, on transdisciplinary topics related to AI. 
All activities are proposed in evenings (in the same format as the Mons AI Meetups launched in 2017).
They are also accessible to people registered to the Certificat d'Université en Intelligence Artificielle (See this page for more info, especially the Programme and Structure tab)
