6 Jul, 7 Jul 2023 | 9am – 5.30pm | Online (Professional Certificate in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Foundation for Executives)
28 Aug, 29 Aug 2023 | 9am – 5.30pm | Classroom Learning (Professional Certificate in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Basics)
Duration: 2 Days
Course Overview
This course is designed to teach you about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its applications. Learners will comprehend basic AI-related terms such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Expert Systems which will play a key role in the future of technology and science. By working on some simple practices and small-scale projects, participants will be able to understand the practical uses of AI in business and daily lives as well as its diverse applications and possibilities, including AI as a career. In doing so, learners will be able to appreciate the challenges of AI. As this is an introductory course, participants do not have to be an IT experts or programmers in order to attend it.
This course is part of Professional Certificate in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Basics and Professional Certificate in Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning Foundation for Executives.

Before joining NUS, he was with the Faculty of Computer Engineering, University of Isfahan, Iran, where he was serving as a professor of AI, Machine Learning, and Data Science. He was born in Isfahan, Iran. He studied towards BSc and MSc in Computer Engineering at Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), and Shiraz University respectively. He got his PhD in computer engineering, pattern recognition and image processing, from the University of Bristol, Bristol, England, in 2005. His research interests include AI, Machine Learning, Machine Vision, IoT, Data Science, and their applications.
He has taught the artificial intelligence courses, including AI, Advanced AI, Expert Systems, Decision Support Systems, Neural Networks, and Cognitive Science since 2005 at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He was awarded the best university teacher of the province in 2012. He also has studied Learning Management Systems, E-Learning, and E-Learning for workplaces since 2007.
Dr Monajemi has registered a few patents in the fields of AI, Machine Vision, and Signal Processing applications, including an AI and machine vision-based driver drowsiness detection system and a low power consuming spherical robot. He also has published more than a hundred research papers in peer-reviewed, indexed journals and international conferences (IEEE, Elsevier, Springer, and so on), and supervised several Data Science, IoT, and AI industrial projects in various scales, including Isfahan intelligent traffic system delivery and testing, and red light runners detection. He is experienced in different sub-domains of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, from theory to practice, including Deep Learning, Logic, and Optimisation.
Hear from the Participants
“This course was a good introduction of AI and ML and the real-world applications.”
– Agatheeben Amarasingam
“This was a good introduction of AI. The course provided knowledge of various algorithms that one should know and interest before diving deeper into AI. Although it was only 2 days, I gained a better understanding in implementing AI development.”
– Tang Tung Ngie
“The course has provided me a deep insight about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning including the origin and in trend technology. Having this knowledge will enable us to be more proactive to deal with information and data that we have. It also helps us to understand the technology that we used in our daily life.”
