ECTS credits: 3
Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module concerns data analysis methods for computer science and covers key aspects of statistics, algorithms, data mining, and visualization necessary to understand and analyze large data sets. Students will learn the basics of machine learning and Big Data technologies. For this purpose, they will learn various IT tools to use a specific data analysis method. It is assumed that various tools will provide the student with extensive knowledge about the availability of many possible solutions. As a result, the student will be able to perform a preliminary characterization of a selected set of real data (using basic methods of descriptive statistics) and then present a broader analysis using machine learning and data mining methods. The entire analysis will be performed using selected IT tools. It will take the form of a project, including descriptive documentation and presentation of the obtained results.
