The course will focus on decomposition, pattern recognition / data representation, generalization / abstraction, and algorithms to give an experience of computational thinking practices. Also, this course will provide a general overview of advanced methods for data wrangling, statistical modeling and prediction of real life. Materials covered will integrate the four key facets of an investigation using data: big data and database management - data wrangling, cleaning, and sampling to get a suitable data set, accessing data quickly and reliably; interactive visualizations – generating hypotheses and building intuition; nonlinear statistical models; and deep learning – summarizing results through visualization, and interpretable summaries. |
