1. You read a research paper proposing a new algorithm. How far do you go?

2. You need to design the architecture of a system that will serve millions of users. How do you approach it?

3. Your thesis compares a new machine learning model with a baseline. How do you run the experiments?

4. Would you like to lead a team of developers and mentor junior colleagues?

5. The programme is taught in English in an international group, and you’ll read and write technical papers in English. How do you feel?

6. How do you feel about complexity theory and proving that an algorithm is correct?

7. New tools and frameworks appear all the time. How do you keep up?

8. You discover that a model your team trained gives unfair results for some groups of users. What do you do?

9. Your code works, but it becomes far too slow as the data grows. What is your next step?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Informatics
Informatics is a branch of information engineering. It involves the practice of information processing and the engineering of information systems, and as an academic field it is an applied form of information science. The field considers the interaction between humans and information alongside the construction of interfaces, organisations, technologies and systems. As such, the field of informatics has great breadth and encompasses many subspecialties, including disciplines of computer science, information systems, information technology and statistics. Since the advent of computers, individuals and organizations increasingly process information digitally. This has led to the study of informatics with computational, mathematical, biological, cognitive and social aspects, including study of the social impact of information technologies.
