In the current society, it is essential in all fields to appropriately exploit "big data" for finding rules and/or making predictions/decisions. This course aims to help students to manipulate computer software tools for data analysis to get new findings.
Students will be able to understand the basis of data processing mechanisms and make use of various data analysis software tools appropriately.
classification, clustering, principal component analysis, dimension reduction, training/generalization errors, cross validation

Take a prerequirement exam on "linear algebra", "analysis", and "basic grammar and functions of Python3" in the first class on Monday, December 2, 2019. Make sure to come to W531 or G115 no later than 15:05. Not allowed to take this course if you skip this exam, and may not be allowed depending on its score. It is also mandatory to take ``XCO.T487 Fundamentals of data science'' and "T490 Exercises in fundamentals in artificial intelligence" in parallel.
A prerequirement test is conducted in irregular class rooms W531 and G115 in the first class on Monday, December 2nd. Exercises are carried out using Google Colaboratory. Students are required to get Google accounts and to get ready for using functions of "file upload/download" in Google Drive.
