Big Data Intelligence: methods and technologies Statistical learning

Basic Skills - Acquisition of knowledge and skills that provide with a background of creativity in the development and application of ideas, often within a research context. - Ability to apply acquired knowledge and to solve problems under novel or almost novel situations or within broader (multidisciplinary) contexts related with big data. - Acquisition of skills for learning in an autonomous and continuous manner. General Skills - Ability to apply the theoretical foundation of collect, storage, processing and presentation of information, especially for big data volumes. - Ability to identify the most suitable data analysis technique in each problem, and to apply it for obtaining the most appropriate solution to each one. - Ability to obtain practical and efficient solution for processing of big data volumes. - Skill to synthesize data analysis conclusions, and to communicate it clearly and convincingly in a bilingual environment. - Ability to generate new ideas and to anticipate new situations, within the context of data analysis and decision making. - Skill to working collaboratively and to collaborate with others autonomously. Specific Skills - Skill to design data processing systems, from the data gathering to statistical analysis and presentation of final results. - Ability to apply the basic principles of machine learning to the design and improvement of data processing procedures. - Ability to interpret the functional specifications of machine learning based software applications. - Ability to identify the opportunity to apply machine learning techniques for solving real problems. Learning outcomes - Basic knowledge about machine learning techniques. - Understanding of basic machine learning techniques. - Making practical use of machine learning techniques in real problems - Ability to analyse and select the most appropriate task in each technique - Ability to determine when to apply machine learning techniques for solving real problems
