## What you'll study

**Teaching for this programme starts on Monday 8th September. This early start is mandatory to provide you with two weeks of intensive pre-sessional teaching, equipping you with the essential technical skills required to successfully complete the course.**

This degree programme aims to help learners without strong backgrounds in programming or statistics to acquire a level of skill in these areas, before learning to apply them to specialist AI techniques.

During the programme, you’ll discover and devise data-driven AI solutions that can be applied to support and enhance organisational decision-making. You’ll also explore the essential ethical and legal issues that need to be considered when developing AI technology.

You’ll attend campus for two weeks of intensive teaching at the beginning of the programme. These two intensive preparatory modules will allow you to acquire the pre-requisite skillset in programming and statistics, before diving into more specialised modules.

Before starting the programme, you can complete a free online short course, [Get Ready for a Masters in Data Science and AI](https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/data-science-artificial-intelligence), developed by a collaborative partnership of leading higher education institutions, including Queen Mary. The short course is designed to help you identify whether you’re ready for masters study, improve your data science skills, and get to grips with the basics of Python.

### Structure

- Two preparatory modules.
- Six compulsory modules.
- Compulsory final year project.

### Compulsory/Core modules

#### Risk and Decision-Making for Data Science and AI

This module provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges of risk assessment, prediction and decision-making covering public health and medicine, the law, government strategy, transport safety and consumer protection. Students will learn how to see through much of the confusion spoken about risk in public discourse, and will be provided with methods and tools for improved risk assessment that can be directly applied for personal, group, and strategic decision-making. The module also directly addresses the limitations of big data and machine learning for solving decision and risk problems.

#### Principles of Machine Learning

Principles of Machine Learning covers the fundamental concepts, methodology and practical tools necessary to understand, build and assess data-driven models to describe real-world systems and predict their behaviour. We will follow the standard machine learning taxonomy to organise problems and techniques into well-defined families (supervised and unsupervised learning) and subfamilies. We will pay particular attention to the methodology that we need to use to avoid and identify common pitfalls. State-of-the-art models and the latest developments on model deployment will be discussed.

#### Programming for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science

This module provides an intensive practical introduction to programming in Python, suitable for students with some degree of mathematical or statistical maturity. It covers a range of practical skills and underlying knowledge. These include the basic programming constructs for control, data structuring and modularisation; the use of systems for collaborative development and version control such as Git; unit testing and documentation; project structures and continuous integration/deployment.

#### Statistics for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science

This module has two components. The first introduces students to the use of probability and statistics in the context of data analysis. The module starts with basics of descriptive statistics and probability distributions. Then we go on with applied statistics techniques, such as visualisation, fitting probability distributions, time-series analysis, and hypothesis testing, which are all fundamental to the exploration, insight extraction, and modelling activities that are fundamental in handling data, of any size. The second covers some basic matrix algebra, including matrix multiplication and diagonalisation.

#### Ethics, Regulation and Law in Advanced Digital Information Processing and Decision Making

This module takes a practical approach to the coverage of ethics in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. It sees ethical considerations as part of a spectrum of concerns, including ethics, but extending through regulation and legal compliance as formal expressions of what is and is not ethical. It considers examples of the kinds of issues that arise in existing systems, and uses the UK Government's Ethical Framework as an example of how to embed considerations of ethics into business processes.

#### Neural Networks and Deep Learning

The module covers the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of Neural Networks and automatic differentiation as a tool for modern AI. Neural Networks & Deep Learning are now the method of choice for solving various Machine Learning problems. They are applied to several real-world problems not only within Academia but most importantly within Industry. Knowledge of Neural Networks and how to apply them to solve practical problems is now considered one of the most essential skills in the job market for a CS graduate. The module will include a detailed exposition for Neural Networks and their implementation using a Deep Learning framework. Topics covered include but not limited to: Automatic Differentiation, Stochastic Gradient Descent, Regression, Softmax Regression, Multi-Layer Perceptrons, Training of Neural Networks and hyper-parameter optimization, Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks. Applications of Neural Networks to Vision and NLP.

#### Information Retrieval

The field of information retrieval (IR) aims to provide techniques and tools to support effective and efficient access to large amounts of textual information (e.g. stored on the web, digital libraries, intranets). This involves representation, retrieval, presentation and user issues.
The following topics will be covered:
1. Application of representation and retrieval approaches described in the Foundations of Information Retrieval module, Semester A, in the context of structured documents, in particular web documents, and digital libraries.
2. Databases & information retrieval, and logical models for information retrieval.
3. The organisation of documents according to categories (e.g. Yahoo directory) or their content to provide more effective presentation of the collection to the users.
4. The design of interfaces and visualisation tools that aim at supporting end-users in their search tasks.
5. User aspects, including the evaluation of IR systems according to user satisfaction, and the incorporation of user information seeking behaviour in the search task.
The module consists of 3 hours per week of lectures for 12 weeks, including labs and tutorials.

#### Project

The MSc project gives you an opportunity to apply the techniques and technologies that you have learnt to a significant advanced project. Projects will either be significantly development based or have a research focus that will require you to undertake practical work. All projects will be expected either to investigate or to make use of techniques that are at the leading edge.

#### Data Mining

Data that has relevance for decision-making is accumulating at an incredible rate due to a host of technological advances. Electronic data capture has become inexpensive and ubiquitous as a by-product of innovations such as the Internet, e-commerce, electronic banking, point-of-sale devices, bar-code readers, and electronic patient records. Data mining is a rapidly growing field that is concerned with developing techniques to assist decision-makers to make intelligent use of these repositories. The field of data mining has evolved from the disciplines of statistics and artificial intelligence.
This module will combine practical exploration of data mining techniques with a exploration of algorithms, including their limitations. Students taking this module should have an elementary understanding of probability concepts and some experience of programming.

*Please note that all modules are subject to change.*

### Assessment

The intensive preparatory modules are assessed by submission of a completed lab book and a short in-class diagnostic test.

Standard modules are assessed through a combination of coursework and written examinations.

The project is assessed via a written report, a formal oral presentation and, where applicable, a demonstration of any software and/or hardware you have developed.

### Research project

Individual projects are undertaken during the summer months, under the supervision of an academic member of staff, with whom there are weekly consultancy meetings. These are used for students to report on their progress, discuss research design, and plan their future work.

The Projects Coordinator also runs taught sessions to support the project module. A number of industrial-linked projects are offered each year, which students can apply for.

## Teaching

The two preparatory intensive modules will be taught through lectures and iterative learning approaches over two weeks, taking place before the start of the academic term.

Teaching for all other modules includes a combination of lectures, seminars and use of a virtual learning environment. Each module provides contact time with your lecturers, supported by lab work and self-directed further study.

You will be assigned an Academic Advisor who will guide you in both academic and pastoral matters throughout your time at Queen Mary.
