Data analytics has become an increasingly vital component across a wide range of industries. This course is designed to make sense of commonly encountered terms such as data mining, big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning, which frequently appear in contemporary discourse. We will dive into the fundamental principles underlying these buzzwords and explore the diversified methodologies, including multivariate statistical inference and both supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms. The course will employ R or Python as key analytical tools, enabling participants to integrate theory with practice and apply these methodologies to real-world challenges.

Structured as a blended learning format, this course combines several pedagogical elements, such as asynchronous video lectures for self-paced learning, interactive in-person discussions, hands-on assignments, and a culminating group project. This dynamic format ensures both depth of understanding and engagement.

You are highly encouraged to attend the initial session to evaluate how well the course aligns with their academic and professional needs. Enrollment codes will be provided to those who complete the survey during the first lecture.
