COMP421 Artificial Intelligence 3 45 hrs ---
The course introduces both the theoretical and the practical aspects of artificial
intelligence (AI), including the fundamental mathematical models and the state-of-the-art
tools for AI problem solving. The topics include mathematical logic, searching heuristics,
Bayesian inference, machine learning and prolog programming language. These topics
cover a wide range of key topics in modern AI, from deterministic reasoning to reasoning
with uncertainty, from rule-based systems to learning-based systems, etc.
COMP422 Ethics and Professional Issues in 3 45 hrs ---

ethical users of future technologies.
COMP490 Final Year Project* 12 90 hrs COMP223,
COMP321
The final year project (FYP) aims to allow students to tackle a real problem and to
complete the specification / design / implementation / documentation / testing /
evaluation processes. Students are required to develop software projects and / or carry
out research project in a relevant area. The FYP is an individual project. The students are
required to explore an area of information technologies in considerable depth,
demonstrating sound problem solving and analytical skills.
Remarks:
*Except for the course “Final Year Project”, all other courses are semester-based courses.
