enrollment
(2) CS lectureTake supplementary classes of CS lectures (e.g., intensive lecture, e-Learning)
in parallel if a certain score is not obtained
(3) AI-related lecturesAcquire leading knowledge and basic knowledge on AI (e.g., AI basics,
statistical machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision,
machine vision, big data analysis)
(4) Real common data exerciseWork on social issues by utilizing specific data to enhance work-ready
capabilities (e.g., image recognition, medical care-related data, meteorological
data)
(5) Certification scorePerform capability evaluation to assure education quality at the end of exercises
An educational program comprised of lectures and exercises is
provided. Students will choose the lectures and subjects of exercises.
