MAI 600: Master’s Thesis in Applied Artificial Intelligence

Students enrolled in the thesis option prepare an MSc thesis proposal that includes the research problem(s) to be addressed by the proposed applied AI research, a thorough literature review of the related works, the objectives, the methodology to be followed, the results and contributions expected from the proposed research, as well as timeline and schedule of the proposed research. The research proposal will be evaluated according to the university regulations and college/department internal procedures.
Students are expected to write a report, referred to as a thesis, on the results of an original investigation, in conjunction with a master’s Advisory Committee. Length and style of the thesis vary by college/department. All these are filed with the Office of Graduate Studies. A Master’s Advisory Committee will be formed for each student. The Chair of the Committee must have research and graduate student advising experience. This Committee will assist the student in the formulation of the Thesis Proposal, and later advise the student in the execution of the research, the Thesis write-up, and help the student to prepare for the oral defense.
