Objectives: Nowadays, data drives the world. Public and private organisations in all sectors face an avalanche of digital data. While at first glance this appears to be favourable for our knowledge-based society, in many ways it is a burden. Data is of great value only after it has been refined and analysed, in order to produce information and knowledge that can be used for decision making in a particular domain of interest. Usage is no longer restricted to simple querying or data mining, it increasingly requires exploration, recommendation, explanation, and visualisation, along with special treatment of time and location.
This specialization disseminates essential knowledge about the ethical generation, collection, and exploitation of data for efficient decision-making systems. It focuses on models, algorithms, and technologies related to massive data analytics. It covers theoretical foundations such as decision-making in uncertain situations, machine learning methods, graph management and analytics as well as visualisation and innovation.
This specialization is underpinned by the Erasmus Mundus BDMA (Big Data Management and Analytics) Master’s program.
