Comments

Harvard Business Review called Data Scientist "The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century", and indeed, the field of data science is evolving into one of the fastest-growing and most in-demand disciplines in the world. The enhanced ability to observe, collect and store data in settings from business to government, health care to academia, promises to revolutionise these industries.

In this seminar, we will cover some of the mathematical foundations of data science.

Topics will be chosen by the students from among the following (there will be multiple lectures per topic):

Machine Learning, Clustering, Belief Propagation, Compressed Sensing, Topic Models, Hidden Markov Process, Graphical Models, High Dimensional Probability, Random Graphs.
