CS 415 - Social Media Data Sci Pipeline

Credits: 3

The focus of this course is on applying data science techniques to large-scale social media. The topics covered include large-scale data collection and management, exploratory analysis and measurement techniques, hypothesis testing and statistical modeling, and predictive, real time analytics. Students will build an end-to-end analysis pipeline and use it to answer questions about online events as they occur. The goal of the class is to provide students with a methodological toolbox, the technical skills to make use of these tools, and the experience of using them on real world data.
