Data Science & Artificial Intelligence

Data science is a multi-disciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to generate actionable insights from data. Artificial intelligence deals with development of computer systems able to perform tasks requiring human intelligence such as speech recognition, decision-making, and translation. Data science enables artificial intelligent systems to perform better with the help of provided data and insights.

Why BMU

Data Science and AI specialization is powered by Microsoft and foreign universities. With labs and curriculum designed in association with them, students will work on cutting-edge tools and technologies to embrace the new trends. Availability of High Performance computing system on the campus leads to real-world applications. Additional IoT labs will allow creation of data sets and real-world applications that can be used for testing the algorithms and developing new techniques.

Examples

Data Science and AI is being increasingly used in a variety of applications. Some everyday examples are:
– Unlocking your phone with your finger print – your phone uses finger print data and pattern recognition
– Voice activated smart assistants like Siri and Google Assistant
– Shortest route planning
