C-variant Artificial Intelligence and Communications This variant is intended for students in Artificial Intelligence who want to specialize in communication. The programme consists of two parts of 60 cp each, both including their own project with master thesis: one part is dedicated to training in Artificial Intelligence at the master level, the other part is dedicated to communication and is shared with students with other BSc degrees. It focuses on science communication theory and research as well as on science communication in practice. This includes science journalism as well as museology. the use of internet for science communication and health communication. Note: Every programme, including the choice of optional courses, has to be discussed and agreed upon with the master coordinator or a personal mentor and approved by the Examination Board.

The programme focuses on science communication theory, research and practice. The programme of the communication (C) specialisation is 1 year (54-57 credits). The specialisation must be combined with a specialisation in biological or biomedical research and may not be combined with the Societal specialisation or the Educational specialisation. C-courses are shared with master students of the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and of the of Exact Sciences. The communication programme consists of 54-57 credits. Two courses (12 credits), one research project (21 credits) and a thesis (9 credits) are compulsory. The rest of the program can be filled in with optional courses (1-15 credits). You can do an internship at the department of Science Communication, another research institute, or at a radio station, a newspaper, a museum or another public communication institute, according to your personal interest. Please note that the extent of the internship or research project is 21 credits, which differs from the regular 30-36 credits for internships and research projects in the other specialisations within the Master's programme Biology. The thesis (9 credits) consists of a study of literature on an aspect of science communication. The thesis consists of a study of literature on an aspect of science communication. The course language is, but the courses Interpersonal Communication, Science Journalism and Science Communication through Museums are taught in Dutch.

Jaar (september) 21.0 X_400538 Research variant Knowledge Technology and Intelligent Internet Applications This programme contains elements so that the graduate student has a good overview of the contemporary literature regarding applications of intelligent web-sites and intelligent agents on the internet. Furthermore, the student learns techniques and methods from Artificial Intelligence that are used in internet applications. The master graduate student is a capable designer of intelligent web-sites, and applications based on intelligent agents. The student ensures that his/her designs respect the needs of the company for which the design is meant. An increasingly number of companies starts to document knowledge in the company with the use of knowledge acquisition and knowledge modeling techniques from AI. By doing this, the conduct of business is being simplified. Also with change processes in companies, automated knowledge intensive methods can be used, together with elements from economics and organisation psychology. For graduates, these is a multi-disciplinary field of labour. Via company internships and company funded research projects there is good contact with industry. Audience: students with an interest in analysing, modelling, simulating and experimenting with dynamics properties.

For instance, you can learn how to model the mental and physical states associated with depression. Such models are then used in applications that support humans in their daily lives in a dedicated manner, also to enable the developed support systems to understand humans better. In the specialization phase of the master you can study relevant courses with respect to an application area (e.g. support of people during exercising, or elderly care) or a relevant scientific discipline (e.g. psychology, sociology, movement sciences, biomedical sciences, criminology, etc.). During you final Master project you will then combine your domain knowledge with the knowledge of modeling such human processes.

Automated Reasoning in AI Course code X_400389 (400389) Period Period 5 dr. K.S. Schlobach dr. A.C.M. ten Teije, dr. K.S. Schlobach Lecture, Seminar Since its early days Artificial Intelligence has employed logic as a mean to provide generic solutions for computationally and conceptually difficult practical problems. The aim of the course is to make the students familiar with a number of popular logic- based representation and reasoning mechanisms for Artificial Intelligence. Furthermore, students should have the capability to transfer the learned techniques to other problems and to other representation mechanisms. The course will be structured in three modules. In each of these modules a practical problem will be introduced, a logic- based representation proposed, and the basic techniques for automated reasoning in this language studied in a practical, hands on, way. In a nutshell, we plan to cover: - propositional Logic for scheduling, and satisfiability checking with Davis Putnam; - Allen's interval logic for Planning, with constraint propagation in Temporal Constraint Networks; - description logics for classification, with Tableau calculi for subsumption. In period 5 there will be lectures and practical sessions, plus significant time for self- study and practical work. In period 6 there will be regular meetings to support for the work on a larger project. 3 practical assignments Course reading Selected scientific papers. Entry requirements Basic knowledge in logic is an advantage, but not required, as is some familiarity with programming.

L.J.F.M. van Zoest, dr. A.V. Belopolskiy Lecture To provide students with in- depth knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of the scientific method and behavioural methods commonly used in cognitive (neuro) psychology. This course reviews the basic principles that govern the development and evaluation of scientific theories (e. g. philosophy of science). Commonly used experimental methods and methods for data analysis are discussed and evaluated. The methods that are covered in detail include: method for discovering processing stages, signal detection theory, various psychophysical methods, and methods used in cognitive neuropsychology (e. g. double dissociations. Traditional; dataanalysis methods, such as general linear model and null- hypothesis significance testing are also discussed, as well as their alternatives.
