The course provides students with expertise in data structures and algorithms for both sequential and parallel computing environments. Students will examine the fundamental concepts, design principles and practical implementation of data structures and algorithms that are essential for the development of artificial intelligence and applications. Students will select, implement and optimise data structures and algorithms, including arrays, linked lists, trees, graphs, hash tables, search algorithms, search algorithms and graph algorithms, reflect on their AI development practices and stay up-to-date in the industry. Students will collaborate in teams, solve complex AI problems and present findings. The course will also promote the ability to plan and execute AI projects independently or as part of a team, will encourage knowledge exchange within the AI community and will promote innovative thinking in AI development and applications.
