| Aims |
|
• To introduce the student to a broad range of information representation models drawn from the fields of information science, computer science, semiotics, philosophy, cognitive psychology, and artificial intelligence.
• To introduce a formal method of qualitative data analysis. • To provide practical experience with basic data analysis techniques, such as selection, grouping and scaling of features. • To develop the student@s ability to understand the problems involved in the formalization of informal data. • To teach practical skills of using the computer software DIAGRAM, ANACONDA, and TOSCANA. • To provide practical experience with techniques of structuring graphical representations. • To provide insights into the formal structure of classification systems. |

| Assessment |
|
The activity ends with a written final exam (grade E) and a practical project during the semester (grade P). The exam subjects have theoretical questions from all the studied topics, and one problem, among the problems studied at the course and seminar. The final grade arithmetical mean of the two grades mentioned above, conditioned by all the grades being at least 5. Otherwise, the exam will not be passed. The final grade = (E + P)/2. |
