To further deepen the educational reform of professional master programs in Artificial Intelligence at Dalian Maritime University and optimize its first-class talent cultivation system with distinctive maritime features, this study explores and refines the postgraduate cultivation mechanism tailored to the interdisciplinary training demands of the university’s AI professional degree programs. An industry-university-research integrated cultivation model is proposed, aiming to support the quality improvement of professional postgraduate education and provide a referential paradigm for cultivating high-level innovative and application-oriented talents.
