Data Science is transforming how companies, researchers, governments and other organisations over the world address traditional problems. On completion of this programme, you will become a highly skilled specialist with an in-depth understanding of the two main knowledge areas that are responsible for the success of the Data Science movement, Big Data technologies and Machine Learning.<br>This programme will provide students with cutting-edge statistical approaches including machine learning and technological tools like cloud and big data platforms for analysing large-scale datasets. Students will learn how to extract value from data by identifying patterns, creating predictive models and deploying data-driven solutions at scale. <br><br>The programme will cover the following topics:<br><br>Statistical data modeling and visualisation<br>Machine Learning techniques for prediction and pattern detection<br>Big data processing and cloud computing techniques for creating reliable and scalable solutions that deal with massive amounts of data<br>Domain-specific techniques for applying data science to different domains: including natural language processing, computer vision, social network analysis and information retrieval<br>Use case-based projects that show the practical application of the skills in real industrial and research scenarios.<br>Laboratory sessions and tutorials will put these elements to practice through the execution of use cases extracted from real domains. You will also undertake a large project where you will demonstrate the application of data science skills in a complex scenario.
