Environnement
In the last few decades, companies have accumulated overwhelming amounts of data, be it textual (reports, emails, phone call transcripts, etc.), numeric (sales figures, meteorological data, etc.) or binary (images, audio, sensor data, etc.). Using statistical “data mining” methods, one can detect tendencies, hidden patterns and knowledge nuggets, and use them to make strategic decisions. This process is of crucial importance in all sectors of activity, and in particular for business, science, politics, security, healthcare, etc.
Course aims
This MSc program is aimed at future experts in the design of high-performance support systems for data mining, knowledge extraction and decision aiding.
This Masters program also offers a gateway to PhD studies.
