Learning outcomes |
This course aims to introduce students to the fundamental topics of data science. At the end of the course, the student should be able to (1) list the steps involved in a data science project as well as the role of each one; (2) know the data science toolkit; (3) know how to apply data acquisition methods to get information from web pages and social web using python packages, apis, web scraping and web crawling; (4) import, manipulate, transform, relate, analyze and store numerical data, namely vectors and matrices, using Numpy; (5) import, clean, transform, manipulate, filter, aggregate, sort and conduct exploratory data analysis using Pandas; (6) communicate results through data visualization using matplotlib, plotly, seaborn and streamlit; (7) understand what is Generative AI and know how to use large language models; (8) be able to discuss ethical, privacy and transparency concerns associated with obtaining, using and manipulating data in data science projects;
