Objectives
THE COURSE (63 HOURS AND 9 ECTS) AIMS AT PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH AN ENDOWMENT OF KNOWLEDGE RELATED TO DATA ANALYSIS, IN ORDER TO ALLOW A SCALABLE MANAGEMENT OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS. IT ALSO AIMS AT DEVELOPING ANALYTICAL CAPABILITIES TO SOLVE COMPLEX PROBLEMS, WHOSE SOLUTIONS GO TOWARD SYNERGIC APPROACHES IN TERMS OF DATA MINING ALGORITHMS, ADVANCED COMPUTATIONAL PARADIGMS, DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM FOR DATA MANAGEMENT, TARGETED AT DATA-DRIVEN DISCOVERY AND PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS.

THE STUDENT, AT THE END OF THE COURSE, WILL HAVE ACQUIRED THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICAL SKILLS RELATED TO DATA ANALYSIS AND ANALYTICS (FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE ACQUISITION AND MANAGEMENT OF BIG DATA) AND THE ABILITY TO USE THE MAIN TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SPECIFIC PROBLEMS.

THE STUDENT WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO DEVELOP ANALYTICAL SKILLS TARGETED AT EXTRACTING INTRINSIC DATA FEATURES AND THE CAPABILITY TO GET AN ABSTRACTION THAT EMPHASIZES THE NATURE OF THE PROCESSED DATA.

THE COURSE AIMS AT FOSTERING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS IN DATA COLLECTION AND DATA ANALYSIS, THROUGH HYBRID APPROACHES THAT COMBINE COMPLEX STRATEGIES TO EXTRACT EFFECTIVE INFORMATION FROM ROUGH DATA
Prerequisites
BASIC NOTIONS OF DATA BASES AND ALGORITHMIC THINKING FOR PROBLEM SOLVING
Contents

BY THE END OF THE COURSE, STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO:
1.ASSESS AND ARTICULATE THE RELEVANCE OF DATA FOR A PARTICULAR BUSINESS OR SOCIETAL PROBLEM.
2.COLLECT, STORE, AND RETRIEVE DATA ORIGINATING FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES.
3.PREPROCESS DIVERSE DATA INTO STANDARDIZED FORMATS
4.UNDERTAKE EXPLORATORY DATA ANALYSIS TO GENERATE INSIGHTS FROM THE DATA.
5.VISUALIZE DATA INTO CHARTS AND OTHER VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS FOR GENERATING INSIGHTS AND SUPPORTING DECISION MAKING.

Verification of learning
THE EXAM INCLUDES A PROJECT AND AN ORAL EXAMINATION.
