Overview
|
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is concerned with the
development of computer systems that can perform tasks that otherwise
require human intelligence. These tasks can include visual perception,
speech recognition, natural language understanding, learning,
planning, reasoning, problem solving, knowledge management and
decision making. AI can have many applications in many areas in
engineering and technology, business and finance, health and medical
care, etc.
Since AlphaGo's winning of matches against top Go players, some
believe that advances in AI are already ahead of human intelligence
and eventually, AI will take over jobs from human - jobs not only
typical of assembly line workers but also professionals such as
medical doctors, lawyers and accountants.
So, what then is AI? What can AI do? Why is it so powerful? How
has AI been developed? What does one need to know to be able to
make use of AI or develop AI technologies? To find answers to
these questions, it is important that executives, business and
technical professionals understand more about the concepts and
possible applications of AI, as it will become more and more important
in the world in the future.

(1) Fundamental of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for
Executives (2-day)
The course emphasises on the understanding of fundamental concepts
of AI, what AI technologies can and cannot do and how AI has been
used in the business world for different applications:-
- Overview and the definition of machine learning
- Computer vision
- Natural language processing
- Speech recognition
- Knowledge management and engineering
- Uncertainty reasoning
- Search and problem solving
- Relationship between AI and data science
- Relationship between AI and deep learning
- Relationship between AI and machine learning
(2) Introduction to Machine Learning for Business Professionals
(2-day)
The courses focuses on the AI tools that can be used for business
analysis. Different real-world cases will be introduced so that
students can learn how AI techniques can apply to solve real world
problems. This is specially designed for business professionals
without mathematics and programming background but able to learn
effectively:-
- Algorithms for supervised learning
- Unsupervised learning
- Semi-supervised learning
- Reinforcement learning
- Deep learning
- Artificial neural networks
- Evolutionary computation
- Computational intelligence, vision and speech
(3) General AI Programming with Python (2-day)
For technical professionals who do not have a background in IT or
Computer Science, we also design and develop the courses that meant
to introduce to them in the most effective way, both the theory
and applications of AI. Participants will learn the necessary AI
programming skills to make use of necessary tools for building AI
applications.
- Data types
- Variables
- Basic operations
- Conditional executions
- Loops
- List and list processing
- String and list methods
- Logical and bitwise operations
- Functions and modules

Experienced Speaker
|
All courses are conducted by a professional and experienced
speaker who helps you to approach the best practices in AI
and Machine Learning
Professor Keith C.C. Chan
Prof. Chan has over 35 years of experience working in Artificial
Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Data Analytics
(DA). He began researching into AI and ML during the second
AI wave in the eighties and has been publishing in these areas
since then. Over the years, he has authored and co-authored
over 250 research publications in academic journals and conference
proceedings.
He has developed many effective algorithms in ML and DA using
such computational intelligent techniques as fuzzy logic,
evolutionary computation and artificial neural networks and
have applied them effectively to solve different problems
in business and finance, healthcare, medical care and drug
development.
Prof. Chan serves on the program committees of over 20 conferences
in AI and Bioinformatics every year. He graduated with a B.Math.
degree in Computer Science and Statistics and a M.A.Sc. and
Ph.D. degree in Systems Design Engineering from the University
of Waterloo in Canada in 1984, 1985 and 1989 respectively.
Soon after graduation, he joined the IBM Canada Laboratory
as a software analyst before he returned to the academia to
join first the Ryerson University in Toronto in 1993 and then
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 1994 where he worked
at the Department of Computing until 2019. During the period
from 2002 to 2008, he was Head of his department.
