Developed and presented by the University of Florida and customized for USDA-ARS with funding from ARS’s AI Center of Excellence, Practicum AI is a hands-on applied artificial intelligence (AI) curriculum intended for learners with limited coding and math background. Using hands-on exercises and graphically based, conceptual content, the program starts from introductory content and builds your AI knowledge, enabling you to design and conduct AI work. Starting this fall, the University of Florida Research Computing team will be offering a series of courses to help ARS researchers begin using AI. In January, a more advanced course on computer vision will be offered.
