- Advanced Descriptive Methods in Data Analytics

Catalog description

Advanced Descriptive Methods ( DA 351 ), in parallel with DA 352 and 353 , is designed to develop students' understanding of the cutting-edge methods and algorithms of data analytics and how they can be used to answer questions about real-world problems. While all advanced methods for Data Analytics can be applied in a variety of capacities, descriptive analytics emphasizes using natural language processing (NLP) methods to work with text as data, modeling for interpretability, and designing and deploying computer vision systems. In DA 351 students will examine both supervised and unsupervised methods, including topics such as advanced regression, K nearest neighbors, hierarchical clustering, ranked cosine similarity, and deep learning.
