This lecture overviews the impact of AI, and Large Language Models, particularly of ChatGPT language model in Education, e.g., in Universities. First it present the ChatGPT transformer structure and ChatGPT training.

This survey highlights the complexity of language and the challenge of developing AI algorithms capable of understanding and generating language.

In the past decade, artificial intelligence has made remarkable progress, achieving feats like self-driving cars, defeating go-masters, and precise image categorisation through supervised deep learning with labelled data.

This lecture overviews Image Filtering, which is very important to ensure high image quality and image denoising.  It covers the following topics in detail: Image noise. 2D FIR filters, including Moving average filters.

This lecture overviews 3D Road Surface Reconstruction that has many applications in autonomous car vision and smart city infrastructure inspection.

This lecture overviews Road Condition Assessment   that has many applications in autonomous car perception and smart city management. It covers the following topics in detail:

“The AI community has been focusing on developing fixes for harmful bias and discrimination, through so-called ‘debiasing algorithms’ that either try to fix data for known or expected biases, or constrain the outcomes of a given predictive model to p

In this lecture, the limitations of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in effectively processing sequences are emphasized.

This lecture overviews the use of drones for infrastructure inspection and maintenance. Various types of inspection, e.g., using visual cameras, LIDAR or thermal cameras are reviewed. Primary application area is electric line inspection.

This lecture overviews Self-Awareness that has many applications in in Autonomous Systems and robotics. It covers the following topics in detail: Self-awareness definition, Self-aware systems, Cognitive architecture.

This lecture overviews digital image coordinate systems and their mathematical representations (vectors, matrices). Memory allocation issues are presented. Elementary digital image processing and geometrical transformations operations are explained.

Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers have been developing and refining large language models (LLMs) that exhibit remarkable capabilities across a variety of domains and tasks, challenging our understanding of learning and cognition.
