- Basic methods: pattern recognition, machine learning, data analysis, data visualization, network analysis, and commonly used tools for data mining and visualization of big data.
- Case studies (seminar): students study selected cases and use course methods for analysis and data visualization.
- Small student projects: the students use big data methods for, e.g., studying consumer media use and purchase behaviours. Will be presented as a short research report.
DM2583 Big Data in Media Technology 7.5 credits
Welcome to "Big Data in Media Technology," where you will explore the integration of advanced AI, particularly generative artificial intelligence, into the handling and analysis of large datasets in digital media. This course will equip you with the skills to harness AI tools like convolutional neural networks, transformers, and large language models, such as ChatGPT, transforming media production landscape, content creation, and data analysis.
During this course, you will:
- Understand the application of big data techniques within the media sector, using AI to uncover patterns and enhance decision-making.
- Dive into the capabilities of generative AI to innovate in content creation and media personalization.
- Discuss the ethical considerations and management of AI technologies to ensure their responsible usage
By engaging with practical projects and case studies, you will gain hands-on experience that prepares you for the evolving demands of technology in media. Equip yourself with the knowledge to lead in a data-driven media environment, where AI's potential to innovate is boundless.
Join us to redefine the intersection of big data technology and media with AI-driven tools and insights.
