New Data Fusion MSc

[abla@gatsby.ucl.ac.uk]

To all participants of the Gatsby Neural Computation Tutorial:

Given your interest in neural networks, you (or your colleagues) might
be interested to know about the new MSc in data fusion (a technology
which makes use of neural networks). This was announced at the recent
FUSION'99 conference held in Sunnyvale, USA . It is the first such
course in the world and generated great interest in the international
data fusion community. This much-needed course is being run by the
School of Computing at the University of Central England in
Birmingham. The course lasts for one year starting in January 2000 and
is aimed at allowing people in employment to continue to work with
minimal disruption. The first part of the course comprises taught
modules delivered either during an intensive week or on a 1-day a week
basis over the semester.  The course is designed in such a way that
anybody may attend the one-week "Introduction to Data Fusion" module
without taking the full MSc.) The second part of the course involves
carrying out an appropriate research project culminating in a
dissertation. It is hoped that many students will identify a practical
data fusion problem within their own company on which they can work to
the benefit of both themselves and their company.
