This multidisciplinary program prepares professionals for a career in turning data into useful information, a discipline substantially demanded in the job market, as data is generated by the quintillion of bytes every day and is becoming a precious resource for nations’ advancement. Organizations increasingly heavily on sophisticated analytical tools to draw meaningful insights from data in order for their businesses to thrive.
This program focuses on the analysis and handling of data from multiple sources and for various applications in order to draw inferences from it. Topics include probability theory, inference, least-square and maximum likelihood estimation, forecasting, finding local and global optimal solutions (gradient descent, genetic algorithms, etc.), and generalized additive models. It also covers machine deep learning topics such as classification, conditional probability estimation, clustering, dimensionality reduction, and decision support systems. The program also covers big data analysis, including big data collection, preparation, preprocessing, warehousing, interactive visualization, analysis, scrubbing, mining, management, modeling, and tools such as Hadoop, Map-Reduce, Apache Spark, etc.
