Digital media collectively refer to content found in audio, images, video, written and aural speech, biosignals, graphics, and virtual reality. To analyze the aforementioned content, one needs good foundations in signal processing, computer vision, graphics, pattern recognition/machine learning and computational intelligence, including associated enabling technologies (e.g., language technologies, deep learning, computer animation, brain computer interfaces). The MSc provides an excellent opportunity to develop the skills required for careers in some of the most dynamic fields in processing and analysis of big data extracted from multimedia, social networks, the web, the internet of things, without excluding complex adaptive systems of social life and robotics. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>This programme builds on the internationally recognized research strengths of the <span class=MsoHyperlink><a href="https://www.aiia.csd.auth.gr/">Artificial Intelligence and Information Analysis Laboratory</a></span> within the <span class=MsoHyperlink><a href="http://www.csd.auth.gr">School of Informatics</a></span> at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. This research team conducts pioneering research in the required aforementioned fundamental disciplines and work areas. The laboratory is well equipped with first-class computational facilities and state-of-the-art measurement equipment, including multiple cameras, microphone arrays, motion capture magnetic sensors, brain interfaces, and drones.
