    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

    Understanding the principles and applications of AI in computational applied

    psychology, including the terminology and concepts.

    Gaining proficiency in applying supervised and unsupervised learning

    techniques using R, preprocessing data, training machine learning models, and

    interpreting the results.

    Utilizing natural language processing (NLP) for psychological text analysis,

    performing tasks such as sentiment analysis and text classification.

    Developing skills in effectively using R for data analysis and visualization,

    employing tools like ggplot2 to create visual representations of psychological

    data and communicate findings.

    Learning outcomes: 

    By the end of the course, the student will be able to

    LO1. Interpret the principles and applications of AI in computational applied

    psychology.

    LO2. Articulate supervised and unsupervised learning techniques using R.
