C S 5245 - Data Programming (3)

When Offered: Fall, Odd-numbered years
This course brings together students from different disciplines who are working (or want to work) in data science. For students without programming experience, a significant part of the course will be devoted to learning computer programming in a high-level programming language such as Python or Matlab. Students who already know how to program will also gain experience using machine learning and visualization packages for those languages. Other topics will be covered based on student interest such as web scraping, web APIs, recommendation engines, image processing, natural language processing, and graphical user interfaces. Novice programmers will be paired with experienced programmers to complete a class project.
