BIG DATA

General teaching training objectives in terms of expected learning outcomes.

Knowledge and understanding: The course aims to give the knowledge and basic and advanced skills to the analysis of large amounts of data.

Applying knowledge and understanding: the student will acquire knowledge about the models and algorithms for analyzing data such as: mining high support, recommendation systems, search for similarities high dimension, map-reduce and spark, complex networks analysis, text mining and the document tagging systems.

Making judgments: Through concrete examples and case studies, the student will be able to independently develop solutions to specific problems related to big data.

Communication skills: the student will acquire the necessary communication skills and expressive appropriateness in the use of technical language in the general area of ​​big data.

Learning skills: The course aims to provide students with the necessary theoretical and practical methods to deal independently and solve new problems that may arise during a work activity. For this purpose, different topics will be covered in class by involving students in the search for possible solutions to real problems, using benchmarks available in the literature.

High Support Data Mining. Recommendation Systems. Map-Reduce. Beyond or map-reduce Similarity search of higher dimensions: shingling, Min-Hashing, LSH, Min-LSH. Dimensionality reduction: SVD, CUR, Application to LSI Johnson-Lindenstrauss theorem. Link Analysis: PageRank, link spam, Hub-Authorities, Applications on Map-Reduce. Web Advertising: online Algorithms, Adword and its implementations. Graph mining: subgraph matching, motif finding, community detection, Network alignment and network analysis. Text mining: TF.IDF, Bag-Of-Word, Entity annotation.
