Aim:
The Data Science and AI master programme aims at providing the students with a good theoretical knowledge and practical skills regarding mathematical, statistical and computer science methods to manage, analyze and extract information from large scale data sets, as well as develop tools and algorithms in complex, computer intense and AI related applications.
|
|
Learning outcome:
Knowledge and understanding
On successful completion of the programme the student will be able to
- describe what data science and machine learning is and can be in terms of question
formulations, models and methods and their pros and cons,
- master necessary tools and concepts, such as within probability theory, statistics,
optimization, algorithms and software architecture, at a level where they can
modify and develop them in the desired direction,
- apply their practical experiences of modelling through implementation, simulation,
analysis and testing of the models, - give a detailed account of the most up-to-date question formulations, the most
recent technology and the most recent research results within a subdomain.
Skills and abilities
On successful completion of the programme the student will be able to
- participate in the development of intelligent and automated digital
systems, thereby improving, accelerating, and amplifying the
digitalisation of society - create models of concrete problems and balance the model complexity against the amount
and quality of data, as well as against time and computational power,
- deduce and apply the methods in optimization and statistics, required for a correct
analysis of the model behavior and experimental results,
- create and implement efficient algorithms for analysis and simulation,
- master field relevant programming languages and tools as well as be able to deal with
different data formats,
- quickly absorb and implement new knowledge in a changeable field,
- communicate their results and conclusions verbally, in writing and visually to both experts
and non-experts.
Judgement and approach
On successful completion of the programme the student will be able to
- critically analyze models and algorithms with regards to efficiency and reliability,
- give an account of the possibilities and limitations of the technology, and be
responsible for its ethical, societal and environmental sustainability, and
thereby contribute to a discussion of its role in the society.
