Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is impacting on our lives, business and environment. Knowing more about this transformational technology can put you ahead on your chosen career path and put you in the driver’s seat as New Zealand positions itself as a global leader in AI.
The growth of available data (“Big Data”) across companies, industry, government agencies and departments, iwi and community organisations has meant more and more of them are adopting AI into their mainstream activities. This has led to an increased demand for graduates with advanced skills in AI.
Studying AI at the University of Waikato will give students advanced skills and techniques to better leverage AI for the benefit of our communities.
The University of Waikato is well known worldwide for its computer science research and for development of open source software such as WEKA, MOA and ADAMS, with more than 10 million downloads. The University has recently invested in New Zealand’s most powerful computer for AI, it is also the home of Te Ipu o te Mahara, The Artificial Intelligence Institute.
Students have the opportunity to work alongside some of the world's leading AI researchers, with particular expertise in machine learning, deep learning, real-time analytics and open source software.

| COMPX521 | Machine Learning Algorithms | 15.0 | 23B (Hamilton) |
| This paper exposes students to selected machine learning algorithms and includes assignments that require the implementation of these algorithms. | |||
| COMPX523 | Data Stream Mining | 15.0 | 23A (Hamilton) |
| Data streams are everywhere, from F1 racing over electricity networks to news feeds. Data stream mining relies on and develops new incremental algorithms that process streams under strict resource limitations. | |||
| COMPX525 | Deep Learning | 15.0 | 23A (Hamilton) |
| This paper provides an introduction into Deep Learning, focussing on both algorithms and applications. It covers both the basics of Neural networks and current mainstream and advanced Deep Learning technology. | |||
| COMPX556 | Metaheuristic Algorithms | 15.0 | 23B (Hamilton) |
| Metaheuristic are stochastic search algorithms for solving massive scale combinatorial problems where exact algorithms do not exist. This paper explores the state-of-the-art metaheuristics such as GRASP, particle swarm optimisation, and parallel metaheuristics, along with their applications in operations research, science and engin... | |||
My masters focuses on machine learning and artificial intelligence application in health and biotechnology. There is so much room to make our health systems more efficient for patients and doctors, and machine learning and AI will be at the core of this.
