Students are required to investigate some contemporary AI related topic, prepare a high-quality proposal, and write a high-quality manuscript with content and organization that meet international standards. Students should follow the rules and regulations set by the MSAI council for that purpose. All work should be done in coordination with a thesis supervisor. The thesis must constitute original contributions, in the form of theories or heuristics, to the fields of AI and its applications. There will be an oral presentation for the submitted proposal and an oral defense for the thesis. The manuscript of the thesis will be archived and copyrighted.
