The two-year Data Artificial Intelligence Master’s program covers artificial intelligence (AI) and large-scale data management. Students will acquire the basics of machine learning, logic, big data systems, and databases, before diving into applications in advanced machine learning, symbolic AI, swarm intelligence, natural language processing, visual computing, and robotics.
Students can choose from a wide range of courses including mining large datasets, big data processing systems, reinforcement learning, GPU programming, semantic networks, cognitive modeling, self-organizing multi-agent systems, autonomous navigation for robots, text mining and image understanding, as well as ethics in AI.
In the second year, students will build more advanced knowledge and complete a research internship.
Objectives
The Master’s program aims to enable students to:
- Acquire the fundamental knowledge, technical skills and concrete applied methodologies to make machines more intelligent
- Gain experience in using and developing data-supported smart services and tools for data-driven decision making, while exploring the technical and scientific challenges of processing large data and knowledge bases
- Solve theoretical and applied problems, present their work in oral presentations and written reports, analyze a bibliography and identify open research directions, work independently and in a team, identify and seek appropriate resources for advancing their work
Students who successfully complete the 2-year program will be equipped to:
- Build a successful research career in robotics, image processing, machine Learning, web technologies, social web, data analytics, big data management, knowledge base management, information extraction, information retrieval, databases, data warehousing, knowledge representation and distributed data management
- Pursue a PhD at Institut Polytechnique de Paris
- Build a career in industry, e.g., in research and development
