DAS in Extended Intelligence

Mathematical Institute

The DAS Extended Intelligence is a university study program leading to a «Diploma of Advanced Studies in Extended Intelligence» awarded by the University of Bern (DAS XI Unibe). In addition to the learning objectives of the CAS programs in Applied Data Science (CAS ADS) and Advanced Machine Learning (CAS AML), the participants are within their DAS thesis work able to independently design, carry out and communicate an Extended Intelligence project with current Machine Learning methods on a publication-ready level. The learning methods include lectures, online courses, seminars, workshops, events and individual work with extended intelligence tools, typically with data science and machine learning software libraries.

The DAS Extended Intelligence is a university study program leading to a «Diploma of Advanced Studies in Extended Intelligence». The program comprises at least 38 ECTS credits. It consists of the CAS ADS study course (16 ECTS), the CAS AML study course (16 ECTS), a DAS module (2 ECTS) and a DAS thesis (4 ECTS). In the DAS thesis, a topic from one of the topic from one of the two CAS programs is discussed or topics from the two CAS from both CAS programs are deepend in an interdisciplinary way.

The study programs make use of different teaching methods, in order to optimally support the transfer of learning and knowledge and to ensure a lively learning culture. In addition to imparting theory- and practice-oriented knowledge and skills, the courses offer space for reflection and discussion. The content and form of the courses take into account the needs and wishes of the participants. Their professional knowledge  and their experience as experts flow into the teaching and learning process..

Target group

The courses of study are aimed at people who are interested in management and analysis of data, especially in the field of machine learning and learning and artificial intelligence, and who want to update their want to update and round off their knowledge through and round off their knowledge.

Further learning objectives

In addition to these learning objectives, within the framework of their DAS work they will be able to independently an extended intelligence project using current methods of methods of machine learning, and to communicate it at a level and communicate it at a level that is ready for publication.

The study program will be conducted in English.

 

The DAS program comprises a total of at least 38 ECTS credits and has a modular structure.

It is composed of:

  • the CAS AML (16 ECTS credits),
  • the CAS ADS (16 ECTS credits),
  • a DAS module worth 2 ECTS credits,
  • a DAS thesis worth 4 ECTS credits.

 

The Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) in Extended Intelligence (XI) is offered by the Mathematical Institute of the University of Bern. The individual courses are taught by university lecturers and experienced experts from the field. Usually, these experts also supervise the final theses.
