Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Further Information
  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    This course offers a deep introduction to the design and adaptaiton of interactive systems from engineering and computational perspectives. Students learn to formulate design problems and derive solutions by analysis, simulation, learning, and optimization. Application areas cover the most widely used interfaces. The course offers a solid introduction to students who seek principled understanding of user interfaces now and in the future. The maximum number of students may be limited. Students of the University of Helsinki are welcome join the course but are asked to contact the teacher in advance.
