AI Projects
What is it
Postgraduate AI project support covers designing and executing a substantial applied or research AI project — including selecting an appropriately scoped problem, choosing suitable models and evaluation methodology, and honestly reporting both successes and limitations of the resulting system.
Why it matters
AI projects fail most often not from a lack of technical skill but from poor scoping — choosing a problem too ambitious to be solved and properly evaluated within the available time — making disciplined project planning just as important as modelling expertise itself.
Exam tip
Define your evaluation methodology and success criteria before building your model, not after seeing its results — deciding what counts as success only once you know the numbers is one of the most common sources of unintentionally biased reporting in applied AI projects.
