Threats to data privacy and security; methods for privacy-preserving data collection, analysis, and sharing; data anonymization; differential privacy; security and privacy in machine learning; adversarial machine learning; real-world applications and case studies.

Introduction to cryptographic concepts. Symmetric encryption, the public-key breakthrough, one-way functions, hash functions, random numbers, digital signatures, zero-knowledge proofs, modern cryptographic protocols, multi-party computation. Everyday use examples including online commerce, BitTorrent peer-to-peer file sharing, and hacking some old encryption schemes.

Brief history of interface design in human-computer interaction from solid user interfaces to wearable interfaces. The stages of interface design and planing the process. Methods used in interface design and its testing. Elements of user interface (UI) design, look & feel, layout, information architecture, navigation, dialogue, patterns, guidelines and standards. Case studies from different fields: command line interfaces, graphical user interfaces, object oriented user interfaces, tangible, wearable, gestural interfaces. User interface design in the future.

Reality-shifting paradigms: mixed, dual, blended realities and their reflections on technology. Real, virtual, augmented, diminished and synchronized realities. The concept of reality in today’s digital world. Discussions on recent topics such as cyborgology, cyborg-art, super-human studies, world-making and where the world is going. Exploring the sensory and cognitive abilities of humans; how technology can change these abilities and our experience with the world surrounding us.

Student projects focusing on conceptualization, planning and execution of a production cycle in a medium that student chooses to work on (e.g. television, video, documentary, web, animation, video gaming, advertising).

Topics will be announced when offered.

Interaction with the Uncertain The information has brought together more visible uncertainty in the daily life. This course explores the ways of exploring, visualizing and interacting with the uncertain. The first quarter of the course starts with very basic notions of sensation, perception and cognition while understanding how the brain works and how human being reacts when confronting the uncertainty. Second quarter is about different methods for exploring the world around us, taking notes and projecting the world onto a registry (analog or digital, maps, books, journals, mindmaps). Third quarter deals with drawing the figures of thought, reflecting the self-projection, visualizing the uncertain and spatio-temporal data, using metaphors and abstraction. In the final quarter, students work on case studies regarding autism by analyzing, imagining and reflecting how an autistic brain interacts with the world.

Students are familiarized with problems that are frequently encountered during different phases of empirical research. Subsequently, students are guided through problem solving in an ongoing research project. Students gain experience in documentation, resolution, and the implementation of the solutions of problems in empirical research.

This two day course describes fundamental principles of evidence based medicine in an interactive manner. Critical appraisal of research articles is carried out.
