Competency aims

The aim of the course is that the student will be
able to apply data mining models and create a proper
pipeline for descriptive modelling of data.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, it is expected the student
to be able to understand the principles and
techniques of descriptive analytics and sequence
modelling with neural networks.

Course contents

The students learn to handle massive data
programmatically to perform feature engineering.
The students understand how to employ both
classification and clustering algorithms for
big data problems and how to utilize their output
in service creation. Students learn to carry out
verification of results as part of the solution
process.

Prerequisites and co-requisites

Basic python programming skills, statistics and linear algebra are required. Introduction to Analytics and Machine Learning for Predictive problems courses are also recommended. Basis of calculus is recommended but not required.
