Expert System Thesis: International Student at a Canadian University

AI Thread Summary
An international student pursuing a Master's degree in computer science at a Canadian university is seeking suggestions for a thesis topic focused on expert systems and problem-solving. The student has a background in education and computer studies but is struggling to identify a suitable problem for their thesis. Forum participants advise the student to explore topics related to their professors' research areas, emphasizing the importance of aligning with faculty expertise. They recommend extensive reading of relevant journals in expert systems to understand current research trends and potential problems. Engaging with the advisor to discuss interests and expectations is highlighted as crucial for finding a meaningful and supported thesis topic. The discussion underscores the necessity of narrowing down interests within the broad field of expert systems to identify a viable research direction.

Hello All ,

I'm an international student , studying at a Canadian university .
I'm doing my Master's degree in computer science which was not my major in my country .
My major was education and computer . I've studied 42% computer and the rest was education .
However , I'm wiling to do my degree in Expert system and problem solving . until now , I could not find any problem to be my thesis .
If anyone of you could suggest a problem that is good for an expert system , it will help me a lot .

Thank you ..

If you don't care either way, look at what the professors at your university are working at and pick a topic related to their work.

What's your domain of interest? Do you want to research expert systems with an education bent (grammar/translation/linguistic stuff), a financial services bent, management bent, etc?
 
It's probably a much better idea to talk this over with your supervisor rather than getting a thesis topic from some random people online.

The first key to figuring out a good topic is to read a lot. Figure out what the important journals are in "expert systems" and give them a thorough review. See what's being published in the field to get a sense of what problems people are working on. Talk with your advisor to see which problems he or she expects to be solved in the near future and which are worth working on.
 
My professor is asking me to find one which has to be a real .
that is driving me crazy ..

Read some of his/her work. Read the work he/she cites. Google his/her stuff. Ask him what that means. There are a bunch of real problems in all sorts of domains, but you need to sort out what you're interested in and what he'll support. You're not even giving enough specific info to point you in a direction, which is bad in it's own right, but Choppy's right that it'll be much better if you find your own interest. Expert systems is a really big field, so get yourself a bit more grounded in it and work from there.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
