Enrolment options

Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, the student

  • can explain the fundamentals of neural networks function.
  • is able to construct, design, implement and run a deep learning based AI analysis project in medical domain.
  • has the skills to select and utilize and the tools for applying AI for the different use cases needed for medical applications.
  • is able to identify and develop the data sets that provide the best results.
