Data Science and AI Applications

Vak
2025-2026

Description

How can we use AI/ML techniques in real life? What kind of models have been used in different fields? In this course, we will introduce domain specific AI/ML applications and discuss challenges we are facing in using AI/ML in different fields. In addition, special datasets created and processed in diverse domains will be explained. This course will especially focus on fields including society, environment, health care and life science. Various types of data will be introduced such as biological imaging, spatial, or network data.

This course is a combination of lectures, practical sessions and project work. After the introductory lectures and practical sessions, students will design their own AI/ML applications.

Course Objectives
