Level
This course offers a focused and intensive introduction to modern computational tools and techniques designed for handling and analyzing massive datasets. The primary emphasis is on providing practical, hands-on experience with these tools. Upon completion, students will be equipped to select or develop algorithms for specific data science tasks, implement and apply these algorithms to real-world problems, and critically evaluate technologies for parallel and distributed computing. The course also covers how to analyze the scalability of computational methods and clearly articulate the reasoning behind design and development choices.
Curriculum
The course content focuses on state-of-the-art computational tools and techniques for massive datasets. The duration of the course is 13 weeks, involving lectures, exercises, and project work.
