Content

In this course we will touch upon several advanced topics in data science, including:

dimensionality reduction: curse of dimensionality, reducing high-dimensional space for feature selection and visualisation
topological data analysis: understanding the underlying "shape" of complex high-dimensional data
distributed data analysis: spark, probabilistic data structures, LSH
association rule mining: finding relations between features in large datasets, incl frequent itemset mining
advanced mathematics for data science.
