Overview
Data Science programme of Chalmers University of Technology is focusing on a highly cross-disciplinary field concerned with how to extract useful knowledge from data, for deeper understanding and decision support. It is based on a blend of methods in statistics and machine learning, together with computational techniques and algorithms for handling large-scale data. Examples of application areas include biology and other sciences, healthcare, business, finance and different kinds of internet data. Computational methods range from algorithms for collecting and handling large-scale data, statistical methods such as Bayesian modelling, to machine learning techniques such as deep neural networks.
AI is about building intelligent systems and is currently a rapidly evolving field thanks to recent advances in machine learning with large-scale data, where machine learning enables the computer to perform complex tasks without being explicitly programmed. Successful examples of this approach include machine translation, computer vision, game playing and self-driving vehicles.
Career opportunities
There is a huge demand for engineers with a solid foundation in Data Science and AI, and as the computational power and the amount of data available rapidly increases, the need will only continue to grow. Upon graduation you can pursue a wide range of career opportunities in software development and applying data science and AI in academia, industry and government.Get more details
