Cognitive Computing and Collective Intelligence

Overview

On completion of the Cognitive Computing and Collective Intelligence programme at the University of Jyväskylä, our 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;

• will be able to connect their designs with publicly available Deep Learning and  Big Data analytics and Web-based Cognitive Computing capabilities as services;

• will be able to figure-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;

• perform research training and academic doctoral level studies;

• will be skillful in international communication due to the integrated language and communication studies.

Research Focus

The Faculty is engaged in active international cooperation both in the field of research and teaching. We have strong collaboration with industry both at local and national level; the vast majority of Master’s theses are completed in collaboration with industry. The programme locates itself in the core of the area of computational thinking and decision making which is one of the major development areas of the Faculty. 

Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Computing research and teaching are well established and the Faculty research is aligned to strategic plans of IBM Watson; the inventor and leading global provider of Cognitive Computing services. The programme is designed to capitalize this core research to teaching.
