DM2583 Big Data in Media Technology 7.5 credits

Welcome to "Big Data in Media Technology," where you will explore the integration of advanced AI, particularly generative artificial intelligence, into the handling and analysis of large datasets in digital media. This course will equip you with the skills to harness AI tools like convolutional neural networks, transformers, and large language models, such as ChatGPT, transforming media production landscape, content creation, and data analysis.

During this course, you will:

  • Understand the application of big data techniques within the media sector, using AI to uncover patterns and enhance decision-making.
  • Dive into the capabilities of generative AI to innovate in content creation and media personalization.
  • Discuss the ethical considerations and management of AI technologies to ensure their responsible usage

By engaging with practical projects and case studies, you will gain hands-on experience that prepares you for the evolving demands of technology in media. Equip yourself with the knowledge to lead in a data-driven media environment, where AI's potential to innovate is boundless.

Join us to redefine the intersection of big data technology and media with AI-driven tools and insights.

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

  • Basic methods: pattern recognition, machine learning, data analysis, data visualization, network analysis, and commonly used tools for data mining and visualization of big data.
  • Case studies (seminar): students study selected cases and use course methods for analysis and data visualization.
  • Small student projects: the students use big data methods for, e.g., studying consumer media use and purchase behaviours. Will be presented as a short research report.

Intended learning outcomes

Having passed the course, the student should be able to

  • account for basic methods, technologies and tools in big data analysis
  • use scientific big data technologies, tools and methods to solve practical problems in media technology,
  • perform the most important stages in big data work from collecting, preparing and modelling data to evaluation and dissemination of results
  • explain important machine learning concepts such as feature extraction, cross validation, generalisation and over fitting, prediction and the curse of dimensionality
  • account for how common data modelling methods work, their applications, and describe their assumptions and limitations
  • apply common data modelling frameworks, technologies and tools within a broad spectrum of media application areas
  • apply and evaluate results derived from use of common data modelling frameworks, by means of Matlab or Python
