General Information

Overview

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an important part of software development. Neural networks and Deep Learning are the main contributors to the recent advances in applications of Artificial Intelligence. Deep Learning enables computers to learn complicated concepts by building them out of a hierarchy of simpler ones. Deep Learning techniques have been successfully applied to a broad field of applications such as computer vision, image and video recognition, natural language processing, and medical diagnosis. This unit introduces you to the fundamentals of Deep Learning and how it can solve problems in many areas. In this unit, you will learn the architecture of neural networks and algorithms, including the latest Deep Learning techniques. You will learn to develop conventional neural networks such as multilayer perceptrons, and convolutional neural networks. You will use software to train and deploy neural networks. You will also identify practical applications of Deep learning by exploring recent case studies.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites

Pre-requisite: COIT20277 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).

Offerings For Term 3 - 2025

Online

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).

Website

This unit has a website, within the Moodle system, which is available two weeks before the start of term. It is important that you visit your Moodle site throughout the term. Please visit Moodle for more information.

Previous Student Feedback

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.

Feedback from Teaching Evaluation

Feedback

It is better to use code to illustrate the lecture content.

Recommendation

For individual weeks, we can add Python code to explain relevant machine learning algorithms.

Feedback from Self-Reflection

Feedback

The content can be further enriched by adding extended materials on image analysis using OpenCV libraries.

Recommendation

Adding appropriate new materials on using OpenCV for image analysis applications.
