New Knowledge Engineering master specialization KE master @ FIT CTU

Knowledge engineering master specializationDue to the strong demand from industry, we are opening new master specializationon Knowledge Engineering. A successful graduate of our specialization willpredominate with strong programming background and deep theoreticalinsight when compared to graduates enrolling related specializations abroad.

Keywords

Data Mining, Analysis, Integration, Preparation, Reporting, VisualizationPattern Recognition, Statistics and ProbabilityComputational Intelligence Methods, Neural Networks, EvolutionaryAlgorithms, Swarms, Nature Inspired MethodsKnowledge Discovery from Databases, Deployment, Business IntelligenceFunctional and Logical Programming, Lisp, PrologInformation Systems, Database Systems

Our students can be both theoretically and practically oriented and continue in ourdoctoral programme with the same specialization or become industrial experts inthe field.


New Knowledge Engineering master specialization Prerequisites

Prerequisites and related bachelor program modules

Enroling students should be familiar with the basic statistic which is obligatory formajority of bachelor programmes worldwide. We prefer students with excellentalgoritmization skills and programming background in Java or C++. Basicknowledge of databases is also important.

Our bachelor program offers the following modules:

Industrial partners in education

Involvement of industrial partners in education

We plan to use commercial business intelligence software in application orientedmodules and open source software in theory oriented modules. In applicationoriented modules, part of lectures will be given by top industrial experts, who willformulate topics and supervise part of student theses.

Example

Data mining exercises to be prepared in SAS commercial software.SPSS and SAS industrial experts have invited lectures in Data preprocessingand KDD modules.
