Welcome to the official OCAD University Continuing Studies Introduction to Designing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Applications course.
In this hands-on course, students are introduced to Artificial Intelligence (AI) research and learn to design and build practical AI applications. The fundamental concepts covered by the course include logic programming, knowledge representation, and machine learning, applied to areas such as natural language processing, computer vision, and procedural generation. This course does not require computer programming expertise. Students will be introduced to languages including Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, which underpin development frameworks such as NLTK, OpenCV, and Tensorflow. The course will also explore ethical issues, bias, and other concerns surrounding AI.
Objectives: Review fundamental concepts in web development and build an AI-powered game of tic-tac-toe using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Objectives: Connect to a dedicated server using secure shell to create a Python script that fuels a simple chatbot application.
Objectives: Use available web services and libraries to create an application that can process video clips on-the-fly for object tracking and sentimental analysis.
Objectives: Train a simple regression model based on historical temperature data and create an interactive visualization with prediction capabilities.
Objectives: Create a web-based project via Python and Google Colab that can train an AI model that can recognize and classify a user-provided image.
Objectives: Use the GPT-2 model provided by Hugging Face to create an AI-assisted writing application.
