Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in our everyday lives and it is believed that many traditional jobs will be replaced by machines equipped with AI technologies. Some important AI technologies will be covered in this programme, including deep learning, computer vision, and image and video processing.
Multimedia and wireless communications is a rapidly growing area in the booming communications industry. New standards such as 4G and 5G for mobile networking enable applications including triple services for mobile networks, digital television, video streaming, interactive gaming, navigation services, and emergency and healthcare applications.
