Aim:
After completing the course the student should be able to:
  • Examine new, complex data sets and identify relevant features which might be extracted
  • Select and apply advanced algorithmic methods for analysis of large complex data sets to determine valuable results
  • Address issues with very large data sets and develop approaches to the 'big data' problem
  • Display extracted relevant information from such data sets using standard visualization methods


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Skills in programming and computer graphics programming, mathematics, the course Information Visualization or equivalent.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course is composed of lectures, laboratory assignments, seminar sessions and a substantial project work.
