| DESCRIPTION | The Group Assigned Practical Task (GAPT) project gives students the opportunity to work on a given task from start to finish and students are expected to work collaboratively in groups to provide a tangible and practical solution to a given problem scenario. The project titles are chosen on the basis of their practical application for a specific group of users as well as to their chosen areas of study. Students are expected to demonstrate their skills in completing a practical project, and addressing the set problem through an identification of the most practical effective solution. Study-unit Aims: To give students the opportunity to work in pairs to understand a problem set by the Department of Artificial Intelligence; to work in pairs to design a solution to the problem that incorporates AI techniques; to work in pairs to write a report containing an introduction, a short literature review, an explanation of the design of the solution; an explanation of the AI technique(s) used in the solution, a description of the implementation, a description of the evaluation carried out and the results obtained; an analysis of the results; and a conclusion. The GAPT also acts as preparation for the Final Year Project. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Analyse a given problem scenario and identify effective AI techniques to solve it; - Explain how the AI techniques chosen will provide a solution; - Explain how the solution should be evaluated; - Explain the results obtained following the evaluation; - Describe the process of problem analysis, solution design and implementation, evaluation, and analysis of results in a written report presentation and research paper; - Create at least one tangible AI-driven object or artifact that will be made available for demonstration purposes. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Work in groups of 2-3 people collaboratively to solve a given problem or challenge using the necessary tools / resources required and applying their knowledge from previous units; - Present their project using the right digital tools for demonstration purposes; - Organize the work to be carried out by the team to complete the project on time; - Demonstrate their ability to identify the significant aspects of their work and clearly communicate them to peers, colleagues, and academics in the research flied through a presentation. Main Text/s and any supplementary readings: These are specific to each GAPT and will be made available when the GAPT descriptions are announced in October. |
