Spring 2000

Introduction to Learning Systems for Humanities (begin Feb 29) with, e.g.

neural networks and their applications in humanities
genetic algorithms with applications in arts and design
introduction to self-organizing maps
self-organizing maps in natural language processing

The courses are also suitable for advanced MA students.

OTHERS DEPARTMENTS

The doctoral school Elomedia has its own www pages.
Some of the doctoral students of the department of industrial arts have related topics and

thus some of the TMO seminars may be interesting also for Media Lab's doctoral students.

NORDIC INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA RESEARCH SCHOOLS

The next research school will be organised in Gotheburg on June 2-9.

OTHER EVENTS

If you visit other seminars. doctoral defenses, etc., please, document your visits, make rather detailed notes for your own benefit and for having a chance to be credited for your activity.

I highly recommend visiting doctoral defenses occasionally and following carefully the dicussions and, for instance, the strategies of the opponents.

MORE INFORMATION

There are some links through which one can find information on, e.g., research methodology, international education and research institutions.
