Course Overview

This course Provides instruction on the processes and practice of data science, including machine learning and natural language processing. Included are: tools and programming languages (Python, IPython, Mahout, Pig, NumPy, pandas, SciPy, Scikit-learn), the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK), and Spark MLlib.

Prerequisites

Students must have experience with at least one programming or scripting language, knowledge in statistics and/or mathematics, and a basic understanding of big data and Hadoop principles. Students new to Hadoop are encouraged to attend the HDP Overview: Apache Hadoop Essentials course.

Target Audience

Architects, software developers, analysts and data scientists who need to apply data science and machine learning on Hadoop.
