Course Overview

Description

This advanced course delves deep into the fascinating world of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In an era where digital data is proliferating from various sources such as social media, user-generated content, and the financial market, deriving insights from this data extends far beyond basic spreadsheet analysis. This course covers the unique characteristics of different data types and the practical skills you'll need to manipulate and analyze them. Moreover, we will explore principles and practices of advanced machine learning techniques, including ensemble methods, social network analysis/graph mining, natural language processing (NLP), time-series forecasting, deep learning (NN), and Large Language Models (LLM). The goal is to facilitate students' ability to navigate through diverse data types and derive insights from the data using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques.
