Postgraduate Program in Artificial Intelligence with Deep Learning

Description

The Postgraduate Program in Artificial Intelligence with Deep Learning of UPC School, is a program designed to train highly specialized professionals in artificial intelligence and deep learning. The postgraduate program equips students with advanced competencies in deep neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision and robotics, preparing them to develop AI systems that drive innovation across multiple sectors.

This program responds to the growing demand for AI professionals, the core of the Industry 4.0 revolution whose influence on society and economy intensifies year after year. The availability of large data volumes and computational resources at affordable costs has made possible the training of deep neural networks, a powerful tool in machine learning. Progress has accelerated in 2023 with multimodal systems like GPT-4, Gemini and Claude 3, while companies compete creating AI-based products. According to Stanford’s 2023 AI Index, enterprise investment in AI exceeded 189 billion dollars, with financing for generative AI reaching 25.2 billion. In the United States, AI-related job offers represent 1.6% of total; in Spain, 1.4% with contracts doubled compared to 2015-2016. Public investment is also growing: the EU Digital Europe program finances AI with 2.1 billion euros in 2021-2027. Glassdoor has chosen data engineering and machine learning engineering as best jobs, with deep learning competencies being the most demanded.

The program benefits from faculty with experience and global recognition in industry and academia, developing deep neural network-based systems for multiple clients and innovative research presented at leading scientific conferences such as NeurIPS, CVPR and ICLR. Students acquire experience in practical implementations with PyTorch and solid theoretical foundation that allows understanding opportunities and limitations.
