M. Tech. in Artificial Intelligence is a program offered at School of Engineering, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri campus.
As we see a tech revolution in all facets of life powered by Artificial Intelligence, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham offers an M. Tech. program in AI at both Amritapuriand Coimbatore campuses to provide young engineers with a futuristic edge.
M. Tech. in AI will provide the students with an opportunity to learn both foundational and experimental components of AI and Machine Learning. The program will open various career opportunities involving innovation and problem solving using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies as well as research careers in AI and ML.
Along with courses that provide specialization in AI, students will also have options to explore some applied domains such as computer vision, natural language processing, robotics, data analytics and computer security. This enables the M. Tech. in AI graduates to take up careers in R&D positions in Industry, academia and research laboratories. The 2-year postgraduate program is divided into 4 semesters, with each year containing 2 semesters. The course content provides the students with proper insight about the domain of Artificial Intelligence with a firm foundation in ‘Mathematics for Artificial Intelligence’. The carefully designed syllabus provides the students with deep knowledge in the core areas of Algorithm analysis and design, Modern Computer Architecture, foundations of Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Machine Learning and Parallel and Distributed Data Management etc.
Highlights of the Specialisation
The Core courses give them sufficient expertise in the areas of Algorithm Analysis and Design, Modern Computer Architecture, Artificial Intelligence Foundations, Data Science and Machine Learning, Parallel and Distributed Data Management etc. Elective courses include various application domains of AI such as Robotics, Video/Image Analytics, Medical Signal Processing, Agents Based Systems, Data Mining and Business Analytics, Natural Language processing, Wireless Sensor Networks, Internet of things etc.
Once they complete the course, students get opportunities to get fully paid Internships and placement offers at MNCs and IT/ITES companies like Intel, Cerner, Robert Bosch, DELL etc. Also, they could publish quality research papers of the case studies/dissertations done as part of their M. Tech. program. Along with regular M. Tech, this program also provides opportunities to do Dual Degree Program (M. Tech from Amrita and MS from International universities) or One Semester/ One Year abroad programs offered by premiere universities like KTH (Sweden), Politecnico Di Milano (Italy), University of New Mexico (USA) and RWTH (Aachen University Germany).
