DIP: Data and Information Processing

Programmable digital electronics, operating and programming computers, big data management and analyzing. Intervention of the company IBM.

This track offers 64 hours of lectures and labs around the transformation of measures from our environment to signal, then to data and finally to the analysis of data by most sophisticated methods. First sessions will concentrate on signal (acquisition, filter, processing) then on systems to handle the information digitally (electronic cards, operating systems, programs on computers) or transmit it to the Internet. On a wider scope, information becomes data, and you will discover the basics of Data Science: innovative ways of storing data, mining data to extract meanings or intentions by machine learning and artificial intelligence methods.

Lecturers are members of Université Montpellier or of the Montpellier antenna of IBM corp.
