Master's Degree Programme in Cognitive Computing and Collective Intelligence

Cognitive Computing simulates human thought processes in a computerized model. It focuses on self-learning and self-managing systems that use artificial intelligence to mimic the way the human brain works. While targeting the automatic decision-making and problem-solving, the Cognitive Computing systems are able to learn their behavior through training. They support forms of expression that are more natural for human interaction, which allows them to interpret data regardless of how it is communicated. The primary value is their expertise and the ability to continuously evolve at enormous scale as they experience new information, scenarios and responses.

The graduates will not only be able to “solve smart problems”, but in addition to it, they will be able to “invent new and smart problems” and drive them by designing artificial smart problem solvers. On completion of the programme, graduates will be able to:

• use, design and train complex self-managed and continuously evolving public and private industrial systems, digital ecosystems, cyber-physical systems, systems-of-systems, platforms, services and applications;
• connect their designs with publicly available Deep Learning and Big Data analytics and Web-based Cognitive Computing capabilities as services;
• find out and approach various challenging aspects of complex problems world-wide, which require collective intelligence and self-managing service-based architectures for their solutions;
• understand, and professionally utilize for that purpose, knowledge on enabling technologies and tools;
• access academic doctoral level studies;
• be skillful in international communication due to the integrated language and communication studies.
