Students are exposed to manufacturing operations in several
areas/domain such as system design, planning, scheduling,
monitoring and control. The theory and principles
accompanied by the real world problem in each area will be
studied. It will then be extended with the applications of AI
techniques such as knowledge-based system, Neural Network
and other that the students already learn from previous AI
subjects. At the end of the course, students will involve in the
development of intelligence manufacturing module system by
using appropriate artificial intelligence techniques.

This course provides knowledge to students about natural
language processing (NLP). Topics covered: English grammar,
grammar representations, NLP tasks including syntactic
analysis (grammars and parsing), semantic analysis (word and
sentence meaning), and discourse analysis (pronoun
resolution and text structure) and its applications such as
machine translation, information retrieval and search,
information filtering and text categorization, information
extraction, spell checking, dictation, command interfaces,
question-answering systems, and other dialog systems.

Synopsis
Electronic game is one of the most popular forms of
entertainment that we need to understand from the
perspectives of commercial products, cultural phenomena
and computer technology particularly computer graphics.
An understanding of software technologies such as
graphics, networks, software design and artificial
intelligence as well as the cultural context is necessary in
designing and developing computer games. This subject
focuses on the design of computer games and how
different technologies can be adopted in practical
projects.
