<H3><STRONG>WEEK 1</STRONG></H3>
<H4><STRONG>Introduction to Data Science with Python</STRONG></H4>
<P>In our first class we will go over some Python fundamentals, which will cover syntax, data structures, and built-in functions. We will move on to practicing for loops, functions, and introducing the packages that will be covered over the course and how to install them.</P>
<H4><STRONG>Exploratory Data Analysis</STRONG></H4>
<P>We will start by introducing NumPy and Pandas and showcasing how to clean, manipulate, and analyze data. Students will practice on the Titanic dataset before moving on to web scraping techniques and extracting data from APIs.</P>
<P><BR></P>
<H3><STRONG>WEEK2</STRONG></H3>
<H4><STRONG>Fundamental Modeling Techniques and Data Visualization</STRONG></H4>
<P>We will begin by reviewing NumPy and Pandas before delving deeper into more advanced techniques to clean and munge data. Using Matplotlib and Seaborn packages, students will learn to visualize data and identify trends.</P>
<H4><STRONG>Data Mining and Machine Learning</STRONG></H4>
<P>We will be introducing the Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) and data mining with supervised learning and unsupervised learning. Afterwards, students will explore machine learning algorithms such as Linear Regression, Multivariable Regression, and Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, Decision Trees, and ensemble techniques.</P>
<P><STRONG> </STRONG></P>
<H3><STRONG>WEEK 3</STRONG></H3>
<H4><STRONG>Machine Learning Concepts and Recommendation Systems</STRONG></H4>
<P>Students will review machine learning concepts including K-Nearest Neighbors Classification, K-Means Clustering, and will start building their own recommendation system with a MovieLens dataset, understanding dimension reduction with Principal Component Analysis, exploring Suport Vector Machines, and learning A/B testing with T-Tests and P-Values.</P>
<H4><STRONG>Natural Language Processing and Sentiment Analysis</STRONG></H4>
<P>Students will explore the natural language toolkit (NLTK) to process and extract text data. Students will then start a Natural Language Processing project with Yelp data before we move on to Sentimental Analysis to predict positive versus negative Yelp reviews. </P>
<P><STRONG> </STRONG></P>
<H3><STRONG>WEEK 4</STRONG></H3>
<H4><STRONG>Big Data with Spark</STRONG></H4>
<P>Students will be introduced to Big Data and data engineering with the Hadoop ecosystem, the MapReduce paradigm, and the up-and-coming Apache Spark. </P>
<H4><STRONG>Deep Learning and Time Series</STRONG></H4>
<P>We will be introducing deep learning and training neural networks and visualizing what a neural network has learned using TensorFlow Playground. Students will also learn time series, what makes them special, loading and handling time series in Pandas. Understand how seasonality affects trends. </P>
<H3><BR>WEEK 5</H3>
<H4><STRONG>Computer Vision with OpenCV</STRONG></H4>
<P>Students will be introduced to computer vision fundamentals using OpenCV to detect faces, people, cars, and other objects. </P>
<H4><STRONG>Hack Day</STRONG></H4>
<P>In the last session, we will host a private Kaggle competition amongst the students. Students will be grouped into teams and will showcase their group project at the end of class. </P>
<H3>WEEK 6 - 12</H3>
<H4><STRONG>Project Based Learning</STRONG></H4>
<UL>
<LI><STRONG>Project 1: Skill Building Project</STRONG> - Students will apply the Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) standard in a provided dataset to understand the process behind starting a new project. </LI>
<LI><STRONG>Project 2: End-to-End Development</STRONG> - Students will undertake a new project from start to finish. This project will allow students to demonstrate their skills in data acquisition, data cleaning, data enrichment, modeling, evaluation, and deployment. </LI>
