Learning Outcomes 1. Collect and clean structured and unstructured data from a variety of sources including structured databases, web services, and text-based data formats; 2. Understand key techniques for mining association rules from frequent item sets; 3. Understand and apply a priori algorithm to real datasets; 4. Design and implement the workflow required to solve key analytics challenges including recommendation engines, trading algorithms, fault detection, event detection and prediction, etc.; 5. Understand the characteristics and limitations of several different classification and clustering techniques and select the one most appropriate for a given task and dataset; 6. Understand and apply key algorithms such as k-Means, SVM, kNN, Naive Bayes, Active Learning, Neural Networks (supervised and unsupervised), scalable approaches including Panda and CART; | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
