MICRO-321: Optical engineeringCe cours présente différentes facettes de l'optique moderne et met à la fois l'accent sur des bases rigoureuses et des applications pratiques. Le cours inclut une partie théorique avec un cours et des exercices, ainsi qu'une partie expérimentale avec des travaux pratiques.
CS-486: Interaction designThis course focuses on goal-directed design and interaction design, two subjects treated in depth in the Cooper book (see reference below). To practice these two methods, we propose a design challenge, which is further divided into mini-projects evenly spaced throughout the semester.
COM-490: Large-scale data science for real-world dataThis hands-on course teaches the tools & methods used by data scientists, from researching solutions to scaling up
prototypes to Spark clusters. It exposes the students to the entire data science pipeline, from data acquisition to
extracting valuable insights applied to real-world problems.
CS-451: Distributed algorithmsComputing is nowadays distributed over several machines, in a local IP-like network, a cloud or a P2P network. Failures are common and computations need to proceed despite partial failures of machines or communication links. This course will study the foundations of reliable distributed computing.
CS-442: Computer visionComputer Vision aims at modeling the world from digital images acquired using video or infrared cameras, and other imaging sensors.
We will focus on images acquired using digital cameras. We will introduce basic processing techniques and discuss their field of applicability.
FIN-523: Global business environmentThis course gives the framework and tools for understanding economic events, taking financial decisions and evaluating investment opportunities in a global economy. It builds up an integrated model of exchange rate and output determination, and explains how monetary and fiscal policies work.
DH-500: Computational Social MediaThe course integrates concepts from media studies, machine learning, multimedia and network science to characterize social practices and analyze content in sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Students will learn computational methods to infer individual and networked phenomena in social media.
AR-456: Urbanism in AsiaLe centre de gravité de l'urbanisation du monde se déplace vers le continent asiatique. Quelles sont les singularités propres aux villes d'Asie? Comment se fabriquent-elles? Comment qualifier ces pratiques urbaines? Quelles sont leurs particularités culturelles et sociales?
