Even though the ubiquitous current centrality of AI (and its accompanying technologies, such as 'big-data', 'cloud computing', 'deep-learning', and now ‘generative technologies-GPT et al.), it is still not the case that young PhD researchers are fulling profiting from AI. This in-person and intensive course (in English) will cover a wide range of fundamental concepts, technologies and will delve on possible use of AI and CI (a.k.a., Machine Learning), as seminal tools for scientific research. The course is designed for non-computer experts, especially those who are pursuing or plan to tackling complex modelling and simulation (desirably via AI/CI Techniques).
