This course aims to provide an opportunity for students to explore individually an area of AI of their own choice, e.g., AI applications in finance, healthcare, smart city, etc. It allows students to develop their skills and knowledge further in the area of interest. It provides the context for students to demonstrate their ability to integrate specialized knowledge that they have acquired in other preceding and concurrent courses of study and apply them to solve an advanced problem with a working solution.

Students are given an opportunity to work in an industrial setting by undertaking a research internship in Hong Kong/Dongguan or other approved locations, under the joint supervision of a CityUHK faculty member and research supervisor at the host organisation.

For assessment of technical merit, report, and presentation, the project committee assigns two examiners, including the supervisor.  The Supervisor is required to provide detailed information on all aspects of assessment.  The Assessor will evaluate the CILOs 2-4 of the project.  The Course Leader will review all projects, moderate consistency across a wide range of projects, and, where necessary, resolve discrepancies between grading of the Assessor and the Supervisor, drawing on the expertise of domain experts as needed.
