Not offered in 20246 units6000-level
Commerce and research are being transformed by data-driven discovery and prediction. Skills required for data analytics at massive levels - scalable data management on and off the cloud, parallel algorithms, statistical modeling, and proficiency with a complex ecosystem of tools and platforms - span a variety of disciplines and are not easy to obtain through conventional curricula. Tour the basic techniques of data science, including both SQL and NoSQL solutions for massive data management, basic statistical modeling (e.g., descriptive statistics, linear and non-linear regression), algorithms for machine learning and optimization, and fundamentals of knowledge representation and search. Learn key concepts in security and the use of cryptographic techniques in securing data.
