Description
The course aims to introduce students to the fundamental concepts and
practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and R programming in the
field of computational applied psychology. The course will cover various topics,
including the foundations of AI, supervised and unsupervised learning
techniques, natural language processing (NLP), and the use of R for data
analysis and visualization. Additionally, the course will explore case studies
and applications of AI in computational applied psychology, allowing students
to understand how these technologies are leveraged to address psychological
challenges and improve outcomes.
Objectives
