Course Syllabus

Abstract

During this practically oriented data science module students will learn how machine learning uses computers to run predictive models. The main principal is to explore existing data to build new knowledge, forecast future behaviour, anticipate outcomes and trends. Explore theory and practice, and work with tools like Python to solve advanced data science problems.
Learning Objectives
