Academic Focus Towards AI: University Theses on AI increased by 60 %
“Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) role in education is profound,” says Vytautas Barzdaitis, CEO at Adroiti Technologies and lecturer at the Faculty of Informatics (Vytautas Magnus University), referring to a remarkable shift in the university’s thesis.
“A year ago, few graduate students ventured into AI for their theses. Fast forward to this year, and over 60% of student projects delve into the intricacies of AI. This transformation underscores the growing importance of AI skills. By engaging deeply with AI, students learn cutting-edge skills and contribute to advancements that drive industry innovation. This dramatic increase signals a broader trend where AI is becoming an integral part of the educational fabric.” – says Vytautas.
Among Vytautas, bachelor students have created products that implement AI in various innovative ways. Their work covered such topics as:
- AI-Assisted Test Creation and Evaluation: Developing systems where AI creates tests and checks them, integrating multilingual support in student testing systems to enhance accessibility and inclusivity.
- Machine Learning for Medical Diagnostics: Conduct extensive research using magnetoencephalography data to create automated diagnosis systems for Parkinsonian patients, aiming to revolutionize the accuracy and efficiency of medical diagnostics.
Master’s theses are pushing the boundaries even further. By leveraging AI, students are addressing complex challenges and creating solutions that have the potential to impact multiple industries profoundly.
Their work includes:
- AI in Software Quality Assessment: Crafting and refining AI models that evaluate code quality offers developers tools to improve software reliability and performance.
- Cyber security is also among the top topics: Zero-Day Attacks Detection Method with Combined Classifiers Creation and Development; Advanced Threat Detection.
- Formation of cargo delivery routes in a dynamic environment: analyzing the relevance of optimizing the formation of delivery routes and the limitations of existing solutions and evaluating the effectiveness of using electric cargo bicycles as an alternative to trucks for transporting small consignments in the city.
“Adroiti” is proud to witness and support this wave of innovation. Integrating AI into academic projects enriches the learning experience and prepares students to tackle real-world challenges.
