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.
Objective: providing advanced knowledge of both theoretical and practical programming in C / C ++ and Python, with particular regard to the principles of object oriented programming and best practices of software development (advanced use of version control systems, continuous integration, unit testing), and introducing the modern technology of algorithms development.
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.
Objective: introduce the student to the principles of learning from data based on statistics, and to the scientific treatment of data to obtain new and reproducible knowledge. Some of the main supervised and unsupervised statistical learning techniques are presented.
Objective: presenting the most important conceptual aspects of information retrieval systems and both principles and techniques for data visualization.
The course will introduce the student to the main problems, data sources, and models in Geophysics.
The course will introduce the student to data sources, problems, main concepts and models in Earth Science, with a focus on analytics using these data.
The course will introduce the student to the main ideas, problems, models and data analytic methods in oceanography and in marine ecology.
The course will introduce students to main ideas, problems, data sources and models in georesource identification and management and in energy production.
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.
Objective: presenting advanced machine learning techniques, with a focus on Bayesian methods.
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.
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.
This course will be available from the Academic Year 2022/23.
Objective: presenting the basic elements and principles of inferential statistics and statistical techniques for the analysis of complex data.
