Entry Level Artificial Intelligence Course
Learn the basics of artificial intelligence, including machine learning, neural networks, and natural language processing.
Introduction to Python Programming
Learn Python, a popular programming language, covering core concepts for everything from web and software development to data science and quality assurance. Skills gained include writing Python 3 programs and simplifying code.
Applied Deep Learning with PyTorch (Zero to Mastery)
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Deep Learning using PyTorch, the most popular framework for machine learning research. Starting from tensor fundamentals, students will progress through the complete ML workflow, computer vision, modular software engineering, transfer learning, and model deployment. The curriculum is "code-first," emphasizing hands-on implementation and experimentation.
Introduction to Deep Learning
Deep learning is a sub-field of machine learning that focuses on learning complex, hierarchical feature representations from raw data using artificial neural networks. The course covers fundamental principles, underlying mathematics, optimization concepts (gradient descent, backpropagation), network modules (linear, convolution, pooling layers), and common architectures (CNNs, RNNs). Applications demonstrated include computer vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning. Students will use the PyTorch deep learning library for implementation and complete a final project on a real-world scenario.
AI Magic Lab
A rigorous course structure integrating four major sections: AI Fundamentals, Large Model Generation (GenAI & LLM), Agents and Evolutionary Computation (highlighted as a PolyU Feature), and Ethics. The course logic progresses sequentially through Perception & Data (L1-3), Cognition & Generation (L4-6), Agents & Evolution (L7-9), and concludes with Ethics & Future (L10).
HKU | China’s Ethnic Groups: Pluralism and Assimilation
Explore the diverse ethnic groups of China, their cultures, and the dynamics of pluralism and assimilation
PolyU | Artificial Intelligence Concepts
This comprehensive course provides a rigorous yet accessible introduction to Artificial Intelligence, designed for postgraduate students and professionals. Bridging the gap between historical foundations and cutting-edge innovations, the curriculum progresses from symbolic AI and search algorithms to modern Deep Learning and Generative AI. Students will explore essential topics such as knowledge representation, probabilistic reasoning, and classical machine learning before diving deep into neural networks, Transformers, and Large Language Models (LLMs). Emphasizing both theory and practice, the course utilizes Python and industry-standard frameworks like PyTorch to implement algorithms, interact with modern APIs, and address critical issues in AI ethics and safety.
PolyU | Introduction to Data Analytics
This is a foundational undergraduate course offered in Spring 2026 at PolyU that introduces students to the core concepts, methods, and tools of data analytics. The course builds a solid analytical foundation by integrating essential mathematics (linear algebra and calculus) with practical skills in R programming, data manipulation, and data visualization, and progresses to key analytical techniques such as Monte Carlo simulation, linear regression, and time-series analysis. Through a balanced mix of theory and hands-on practice, students learn how to analyze and interpret data systematically, with learning assessed through quizzes, assignments, a midterm test, and a final examination.
PolyU | Data Structures and Algorithms
Learn the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms, including arrays, linked lists, trees, sorting, and searching techniques.
