1. Demonstrate a systematic understanding of techniques used to implement AI Systems, and their underpinning principles;
2. Evaluate critically alternative AI approaches according to quality/cost trade-offs;
3. Master the application of AI techniques to solve realistic and real-world problems, using appropriate programming languages and libraries (e.g., Python and Scikit-Learn);
4. Analyse and critically evaluate the obtained results in terms of quality/cost, and devise strategies to improve or replace them.
