The Media & Knowledge Engineering Track
In today’s society, there is a growing flood of digital data from sources ranging from conventional media like television and telecommunications systems, to PCs and the internet, to a multitude of electronic, biochemical, medical, industrial and other sensing devices. This data may be in the form of audio and speech signals, digital images and video, text, and bio-molecular data, to mention just the most prominent and familiar examples. But the utility of the data is dependent on the ease with which it can be accessed and processed. Accordingly, the quality and elegance of the user interface, the intelligence with which data can be represented, and facility with which users can interact with the machines are increasingly important.
Media and knowledge engineering (MKE) is all about the design of the tools and applications at the core of data access and processing. Media and knowledge engineers are indispensable for the design of applications, for example, for medical visualisation to improve the production and fit of prostheses, the development of algorithms that improve hearing aids so that users are better able comprehend speech and engage the world, and for the design of intelligent systems that support negotiations processes.
What you will learn
Media and Knowledge Engineering educates engineers who are able to design and build intelligent systems for information and knowledge processing and who are able to design, realize and test properly working intelligent user interfaces.
