Course Description
Students will be introduced to a wide range of data science techniques that form the basis of the examples covered in the Data Science Literacy course and read about the applications of each technique.
Specifically, students will learn the fundamentals of basic algorithms, statistics, natural language processing, and speech and image processing while learning Python programs that address various data science topics, using the online environment Google Colaboratory.
Only a browser is necessary to use Google Colaboratory; there is no need to install a special application on your computer.
In each class, students will be required to submit an assignment based on the exercise program practice. This assignment will only require students to change designated parts of examples provided in class— learners do not need to be able to program independently.
Notes
・We will not engage in in-depth learning in class until students can program independently.
・We will not engage in in-depth learning in class until students can work with statistics independently.
・Since it is easier to use R for statistical assignments, we offer both Python and R versions of the exercise program; however, we will only discuss the Python version in class.
