Students will learn data science to utilize vast and diverse data for business, and acquire applied skills in data analysis. In particular, we will lecture on the characteristics of unstructured data and their analysis methods, keeping in mind its application technology management, and acquire applied skills in data analysis through programming exercises.
The goals of this course are as follows:
- To understand the basics of text analysis, network analysis, deep learning, and reinforcement learning
- To be able to apply these methods to unstructured data for the creation of new businesses
Text, morphological analysis, sentiment analysis, social network analysis, neural networks, deep learning, reinforcement learning
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
We will lecture on the basics of text analysis, network analysis, and deep learning for unstructured data (text, network, images, etc.), and through programming exercises, students will solidify their understanding and develop practical skills for data analysis (using Python and R). In addition, we will invite a corporate data scientist to lecture and to have a discussion on the cutting-edge applications of data science in business.
