The students will first be given a short introduction to what is meant by cognitive systems, the set-up of the course, examples of technical platforms to develop cognitive systems and example of projects at KTH where such systems are developed. Thereafter, they will be divided into project groups of about 2-3 persons and be assigned a supervisor. The groups will then work with defining an issue that requires implementation and evaluation of a cognitive system and writing a project plan. As a part of this, the students should retrieve a number of relevant scientific articles. The project plan and the literature survey should then be presented in a written report and orally at a seminar. The completed work should also be presented in a written final report and be presented at a seminar, where the students publicly discuss each other's work.

Cognitive systems are systems that interact with humans or the environment, and which utilizes processes similar to human cognition, such as knowledge, problem solving and natural language. The aim of the course is that the students should get in-depth knowledge about how to plan, implement and evaluate cognitive systems, and the scientific process. In the course, students will work together in project groups of 2-3 students, with the help from a supervisor, to develop a cognitive system, for example involving conversational technologies, vision and robotics. The course will start with an introductory lecture covering theory, tools, and evaluation. The projects will start with a reading period, where the students search for research papers relevant to their project, define a research question that requires the implementation and evaluation of a cognitive system, and write and present a project plan. At the end of the course, the students will write a report and present their work at a seminar in a scientific form, where they will act as opponents on each other’s presentations.

Grading scale
Examination
- PRO2 - Final report, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
- PRO1 - Project plan, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
