Advanced Methods in Data Science and Big Data Analytics (AMDSBDA)

 

Course Overview

This course builds on skills developed in the Data Science and Big Data Analytics course. The main focus areas cover Hadoop (including Pig, Hive, and HBase), Natural Language Processing, Social Network Analysis, Simulation, Random Forests, Multinomial Logistic Regression, and Data Visualization. Taking an “Open” or technology-neutral approach, this course utilizes several open-source tools to address big data challenges.

Who should attend

This course is intended for aspiring Data Scientists, data analysts that have completed the associate level Data Science and Big Data Analytics course, and computer scientists wanting to learn MapReduce and methods for analyzing unstructured data such as text.

Prerequisites

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:

  • Develop and execute MapReduce functionality
