Oímos en tres dimensiones porque la evolución nos ha dotado de esta capacidad fundamental para desenvolvernos en nuestro entorno. El oído sustituye a la vista cuando las fuentes sonoras quedan fuera del alcance de esta o bien sirve para complementarla cuando están visibles. Desde los principios de la electrónica la ingeniería ha trabajado para simular estos estímulos sonoros a través de múltiples sistemas de sonido espacial, empezando desde el más simple, el estéreo. En este curso el alumno empezará familiarizándose con los mecanismos de la audición espacial humana, para pasar a estudiar los principales sistemas de reproducción de sonido espacial, siguiendo una clasificación ordenada atendiendo a criterios de ingeniería. Se estudiarán desde los sistemas más comunes como el 5.1 hasta los sistemas más modernos como la Wave-Field Synthesis o los sistemas binaurales con personalización de la HRTF.

Optimization is the search for the best and most effective solution. In this mathematics course, we will examine optimization through a Business Analytics lens. You will be introduced to the to the theory, algorithms, and applications of optimization. Linear and integer programming will be taught both algebraically and geometrically, and then applied to problems involving data. Students will develop an understanding of algebraic formulations, and use Julia/JuMP for computation. Theoretical components of the course are made approachable, and require no formal background in linear algebra or calculus.

The recommended audience for this course is undergraduates, as well as professionals interested in using optimization software. The content in this course has applications in logistics, marketing, project management, finance, statistics and machine learning.

Most of the course material will be covered in lecture and recitation videos, and only an optional textbook, available at no cost, will be used.

Students interested in the material prior to deciding on course enrollment can visit the MIT Open Courseware version of 15.053 Spring 2013. The topics of the 2013 subject were optimization modeling, algorithms, and theory. As a six week subject, 15.053x covers about half of the material of the 2013 subject. The primary focus of 15.053x is optimization modeling.

Con este curso, el alumnado será capaz de aprender y entender los conceptos básicos de visión por computador, además de  implementar de forma práctica algoritmos de análisis de imágenes a través de computadores utilizando la biblioteca de funciones OpenCV.

El Análisis de Imágenes o Visión por Computador es la capacidad de los ordenadores de analizar imágenes capturadas por una cámara y obtener la información de los objetos que se hayan presentes en esa escena. En la actualidad, constituye uno de los campos de la Inteligencia Artificial con un mayor ritmo de desarrollo y que más aplicaciones nuevas está presentando.

Hasta hace pocos años las cámaras digitales solo estaban implantadas en el ambiente industrial. Allí se utilizan con dos fines:

1. Lograr una mayor interacción entre los robots industriales y el entorno que los rodea.
2. Conseguir un control de calidad total de los productos fabricados.

Con la aparición de nuevo hardware, cámaras y algoritmos, el mundo de la Visión por Computador ya no se centra exclusivamente en el ambiente industrial sino que se extiende a los smartphones, la industria del videojuego e incluso a los coches.

Otra característica que ha cambiado recientemente es que hasta hace poco tiempo las técnicas de análisis de imágenes eran accesibles solamente a un reducido número de especialistas. Los programas que se utilizaban eran costosos, con poca documentación y que exigían equipos informáticos de gama alta. Esto es ahora muy distinto; en concreto la biblioteca OpenCV, que se verá en el curso, constituyen una solución de altísimo nivel, gratuitas, portables a diversos sistemas operativos y equipos, ordenadores o teléfonos inteligentes y que constituyen de facto un estándar en la comunidad científica.

Para que el alumnado pueda realizar diversas aplicaciones relacionadas con la Visión por Computador, a lo largo del curso se revisan los tipos básicos de elementos y sensores, viéndose las ventajas e inconvenientes de cada uno de ellos, así como las técnicas más usuales de procesar la información que proveen. A partir de dicho procesamiento de la información y de la extracción de características, se presentan diversos métodos para el reconocimiento de patrones.

Do you want to make a difference by collaborating with other like-minded individuals from around the globe? Maybe you’re already working with a group doing social impact work in an established organization/NGO. Or perhaps you have an idea for a social initiative and want to team up with others, locally or virtually. Or maybe you’re just concerned about the direction the world is heading and want to join a global conversation about creating some positive, sustainable change. If so, this first ever GROOC is for you.

Our GROOC has a distinct pedagogy: we believe profound learning happens when people share their experiences with each other, ask questions and tell stories. It’s called social learning. There are no right or wrong answers and no tests along the way. Instead, you’ll delve into relevant issues that concern all social initiatives, at any stage of development.

Over seven sessions, you will be exposed to concepts and models from our four course designers and will hear from top international scholars and practitioners who combine the best thinking with the most effective doing.
