Statistical Learning for Data Science
Data Science for Digital Transportation
Probabilistic Machine Learning
Objective: presenting advanced machine learning techniques, with a focus on Bayesian methods.
Foundations of High Performance Computing
Objective: introducing students to modern architectures for high performance computing. Students will learn how to properly test such architectures (computing power, bandwidth, latency, energy efficiency). Leveraging these skills, students will be introduced to the parallel programming based on MPI protocols (Message Passing Interface) and multi-threading with OpenMP.
Numerical Analysis
Objective: providing numerical analysis tools for scientific computing, with particular attention to linear algebra, polynomial approximation, numerical integration, numerical solution of ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations, approximation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
Global and Multi-Objective Optimization
This course will be available from the Academic Year 2022/23.
Data Management for Big Data
Objective: introducing students to computational management of data, in particular the characterization of an information system, data modeling, design and management of databases, including non-traditional ones (eg, unstructured documents, spatial data, biological data , multimedia data), to the fundamentals of distributed data and to methodologies and techniques for the management and analysis of big data.
Statistical Methods for Data Science
Objective: presenting the basic elements and principles of inferential statistics and statistical techniques for the analysis of complex data.
Software Development Methods
Objective: introducing concepts and techniques for collaborative development of large and complex software systems for industrial applications, including Java, software development lifecycle, best practices in software development as code testing, versioning, and design patterns.
Stochastic Modelling and Simulation
Objective: introducing students to the fundamentals and practice of stochastic modeling, simulation of stochastic models and inference of parameters starting from observations, with a focus on scalability for large models.
Network Science
Objective: You will learn how to organize, transform, analyse and visualize data, with a focus on the relational data model, and a detour to semistructured data. You will learn the fundamentals of data science using R environment.
Open Data Management and the Cloud
Objective: providing students with practical information on how to design data models and data structures, to manage metadata to optimize access and research, and to become familiar with interoperability standards. The course will focus on the concept of open data, with efficiency for big data projects, and the concept of cloud as an infrastructure for data management and their processes.
Introduction to Machine Learning
Objective: Introduce the students to the machine learning fundamentals, to the main techniques on supervised learning, and to the principal application domains. Present evolutionary calculation. The course explains how to design, develop and evaluate simple ML-based end-to-end systems and, at the same time, how to describe their operations.
Information Retrieval and Data Visualization
Objective: presenting the most important conceptual aspects of information retrieval systems and both principles and techniques for data visualization.
