Abstract

During this practically oriented data science module students will learn how machine learning uses computers to run predictive models. The main principal is to explore existing data to build new knowledge, forecast future behaviour, anticipate outcomes and trends. Explore theory and practice, and work with tools like Python to solve advanced data science problems.

Learning Objectives

• Make students able to collect, store, process and analyze data automatically with the use of scripting languages.
• Make students able to develop and apply new research methods of basic machine learning algorithms and ways to collect information using data mining techniques.
• Make students able to solve economic, financial and managerial problems using best practices of data analysis using modern computational tools.
• Make students able to identify the data needed for addressing the financial and business objectives.

Expected Learning Outcomes

• Able to choose tools, modern technical means and information technologies for processing information in accordance with the assigned scientific task in the field of finance
• Choose methods adequately corresponding to the objectives of a research project
• Collect, store, process and analyze data automatically with the use of scripting languages; develop and apply new research methods of basic machine learning algorithms and ways to collect information using data mining techniques
• Planning and beginning to perform a research project requires an open and innovative mindset.
• Students should know how to: use ICT solutions in solving real-life problems, work together with other team members, develop personal knowledge and skills.
