Top 60 Thesis/Dissertation Topics in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence of 2020

Selecting a focus area and topic for conducting your research and writing thesis/dissertation can be a problematic process-given constant transformation of academic landscape. This is the reason our team has investigated strategies, and come up with the best ones that you can utilize to select the most suited topic for yourself and ensure perfect trajectory to academic success. Our experts collaborated to categorically define six steps that can set you in the right direction. To read more about the process kindly check "Starting Research and Selecting Topic" section in our knowledge base.


We sent out invitation to 134 PhDs on-board with us, to submit the most valuable research topics in CS and IT for the year 2020. Our QA Team received more than thousand topics, which were then thoroughly discussed in expert groups to funnel out a list for our valuable readers. These topics are based mainly on the recent trends in awarded grants and national agendas, as well as potential focus areas that are expected to rise exponentially in next five years. So, please pay close attention to the topics, our team has also defined basic introduction and a strategic overview for each topic in the list, which can be provided to you upon request; kindly feel free to contact us in that regard using the contact provided at the end.


We have divided the list of topics into further focus areas to make the selection easier for you; however, the topics are interdisciplinary and in many ways the focus areas are overlapping. These topics are on high priority by reputable institutes. We strongly recommend to use this list as a source of inspiration. Copying the topics, as it is, is not recommended; although, you can change them to add your own flavor.

In addition, we provide some valuable resources with each focus area that may allow you to dig deeper and shape your understanding of the research topics.


Starting with Machine Learning and AI, a series of posts will be published for the best topics in the following focus areas:

  1. Machine Learning and AI

  2. Computer and Network Security

  3. Big Data and IoT

  4. Information Systems (Cloud and Database Management)

  5. Health IT and Bioinformatics

  6. Robotics

  7. Visual Computing (AR/VR/CGI)

  8. Software Theory (OS and Architecture)

For basic understanding of Machine Learning, take this course for free at Coursera. The course is comprehensive, and one of the best MOOCs till date on any subject.

"Machine Learning" offered by Stanford


In order to get some expert insights into each component of machine learning, alongside some practical approaches, take the "Deep Learning Specialization" offered by Deeplearning.ai.


In order to start with some practical implementation from the get-go, google's offering of "Machine Learning with TensorFlow on GCP" is the best way to go. It will provide you hands-on step-by-step guides on implementing Machine Learning models without any cost or hassle.


On same line as that of the GCP specialization, a much easier and quick way to start is by using Microsoft Azure ML Studio, which provide you with already constructed models and algorithms to play with and implement. Its fun, its easy and its highly valuable: "Implementing Predictive Analytics" and "Predcitive Analytics for IoT".
