Malaysia artificial intelligence at MMU: the degree in brief
MMU says computer systems keep growing in complexity, and that intelligent features now belong in any application, from web search engines to stand-alone programs. Its stated aim is to give students the knowledge and skills to build intelligent computer systems. The three-year programme covers the traditional grounds of artificial intelligence (AI fundamentals, programming language concepts and computational intelligence) and then moves to applied AI techniques such as computer vision, natural language processing and data analytics. The degree sits in MMU's Faculty of Information Science and Technology (FIST). MMU lists the code as R3/0613/6/0070 (08/28) (MQA/FA16170).
