Certificate in Advanced Data Science and Predictive Analytics

As organizations gather more and more data from their business processes, traditional computer systems and tools cannot handle the massive volume of data. Distributive computing platforms and tools are needed to digest, store and retrieve data. This course looks at distributive tools for data analysis, machine learning, data digestion and visualization. These tools are employed in real world examples to find trends and make informed business decisions.

Discover the complete process of building prediction functions, including complex data collection, feature creation, applying advanced algorithms, evaluation and deploying models as an app in this advanced course. A range of machine learning model based and algorithmic machine learning methods will be introduced. You’ll also learn how to apply learning algorithms to mining social media and network (sentiment, influence), text understanding (web search, anti-spam), association rule mining (recommender systems), time series analysis, and other areas.

Exercise the skills acquired in the previous courses as you work end-to-end on an analytics project. Students have an opportunity to select to either work: a) with a business on a sponsored project, or b) independently on their own project. This hands-on course requires defining the business problem, scoping out the project, review and preparing of collected data, as well as integrating, modelling and analyzing the data. Students are expected to also derive insights and offer recommendations based on their analysis.
