Required Graduate Certificate in Machine Learning Courses
An introduction to collecting, managing, and processing large data sets. This course focuses on the core skills and concepts needed to pull data from a range of sources both inside and outside of organizations; to filter, transform, and combine data sets in preparation for data cleaning and analysis; and to construct quantitative summaries and basic visualizations. Prerequisites: Intro Programming.
An introduction to the principles and practices of effective data visualization as an essential skill for learning from data and for communicating with others, both within and outside of an organization. Students will combine principles from statistics, psychology, and computer science to design and create visualizations and use them to communicate with and about data to stakeholders and others. Prerequisites: Intro Programming.
Organizations leverage increasingly large collections of data about people, products, and processes. Predictive analytics provides tools to discover patterns and anticipate trends in such data. This course introduces the foundational principles of predictive analytics and provides a survey of a wide range of predictive methods, both battle-tested classics and emerging high-capacity deep learning models. Prerequisites: Intro Programming.
An introduction to matrix algebra methods useful in data data science and their implementation in software. Topics include representing data using matrices and higher dimensional arrays, transforming data in these formats, matrix decompositions, and applications of linear algebra in data science.
An introduction to the use and implementaiton of neural network (deep learning) models. Students will select machine learning algorithms appopriate to a given task. Then they will train, tune, and assess them using standard software packages, and assess the suitability of a machine learning model for a given task. Applications may include text classification, image classification, and price prediction. Prerequisites: DATA 502.
Advanced studies in machine learning. Topics include supervised and unsupervised learning, with applications to natural language processing and generation of text and images. Students will additionally study the social, ethical, and religious issuse that arise in automated processing and production of language and images. Prerequisites: DATA 675.
