Scientific Questions
• What is clustering?
• What is causality?
• What’s the magic behind deep learning?
• How can you efficiently search and rank?
• How do you build reliable models from complex data?

Data Science vs Web and Language Interaction
• Overlap: text mining, information retrieval, machine learning in practice, ...
• Data Science: broader scope of application domains, more emphasis on methodological aspects
• Web and Language Interaction: dive deeper into thepsychological and neurological aspects ofhuman-human and human-computer interaction
• “Process school” vs. “product school” view on AI
• Can do both through a joint, double master program:180 ec (3 years) for 2 master degrees!
