| Module Description: |
As a key area of technical communications, this module focuses on information design and development concepts and skills to enable information developers to design and deliver effective information for advanced systems, including connected and intelligent systems. The module aims to impart theory and practices of designing and developing information for systems governed by Artificial Intelligence, with a particular focus on Natural Language Processing (NLP), in order to deliver information that is personalised to user contexts.

Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).
|
|
Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list.
