Abstract
Prerequisite: Basic experience in Python.
Data science is a multi-disciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data. Data science is valuable part of modern scientific experiments, in which results could be explained and analyzed, and substantiated with eligible proof. The course gives an introduction to the main topics of modern data analysis such as classification, regression, clustering, dimensionality reduction, scalable algorithms. Each topic is accompanied by a survey of key machine learning algorithms solving the problem and is illustrated with a set of real-world examples. The goal of this course is to teach students to work with, analyze and apply it to data obtained during experiments that evaluate biological, behavioural, neuroimaging parameters, or a combination of these.
