BScIT–Concentration in Machine Learning (AI)

Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence that provides learning and experience so that the capabilities of all computer systems are automatically improved without programming. It basically addresses the question of how computer capabilities are used to automatically improve by experience. Today, Machine Learning is most rapidly growing in technological fields thereby facilitating the interaction of computer science and statistics with Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at its core.PBS has developed this specialization area that focuses on the fields of AI. Students will learn programming perspectives on different fields of AI such as machine learning, deep learning and IoT etc.
