Main themes
Nowadays, data are everywhere. For most organizations, potentially every area of its business, as well as every relationship related to its business, can now be quantified and recorded. Such amount of data led to the emergence of powerful methods for storing, processing, querying, and extracting useful information/knowledge from these data. This course will be focused on methods for data understanding, design, management, preparation, modeling, querying, and visualization, as a global means for the organization of making better decisions. As a central element in data analytics, modeling and methodology will play an important role in this course, including, e.g., data design for business intelligence analytics, predictive modeling, or fitting statistical models to data.
