Introduction
This MSc covers a range of advanced topics related to digital media. Digital media collectively refers to content found in audio, images, video, written and aural speech, biological data, graphics, and virtual reality. To analyze such content, one needs good foundations in signal processing, computational vision, graphics, digital biology, machine learning and computational intelligence, including associated enabling technologies (e.g., deep learning, bioinformatics, language technologies, computer animation, brain-computer interfaces).
The MSc provides an excellent opportunity to develop the skills required for careers in some of the most dynamic fields in processing and analysis of big data extracted from multimedia and biological databases, social networks, robotics and autonomous systems, without excluding complex adaptive systems of social life.
