The University of Cyprus's Master programme in Artificial Intelligence 4 Careers in Europe (MAI4CAREU) contains several courses. One of Master's programme's courses, MAI645 - Machine Learning for Graphics and Computer Vision is split up into several lectures, which are taught by the CYENS Centre of Excellence.

Learning outcomes

This lecture focuses on machine learning techniques for image recognition. It introduces Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), explaining their structure and use in classifying images. The module covers transfer learning and fine-tuning, which involve adapting pre-trained models for new tasks. Advanced topics such as object detection and segmentation are also discussed, providing knowledge on identifying and separating objects within images. These techniques are fundamental for various practical applications in graphics and vision. 

The lesson Machine Learning for Image Recognition covers the following topics:

• Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)

• Transfer learning and fine-tuning

• Object detection and segmentation
