Course Overview

Remarks

According to recent studies, the demand insociety for data scientists with broad
experience in data analysis is increasing.
The initial units will focus on the relation
among data science, basic mathematics andstatistics, aiming at the application tocomputational algebraic statistics. In the
middle units, we will focus on hypothesis
Moritsugu
testing for actual data and the theory of
Shuichi,ITO
decision-making based on the predictions. In
7A103
Hiroyoshi,Yoshik the last units, students will learn methodsof analysis on the basis of informetricane Fuyuki
data. In particular, the sample-size
dependency of informetric indicators will
also be discussed.

This course aims at enabling students todevelop an understanding of the fundamental
principles and practical use of machinelearning. The course is designed to examine
supervised and unsupervised learning methods
based on neural networks and Bayesian models
for essential techniques in data sciencesuch as image recognition, documentclassification and clustering. The course ismade up of a series of lectures – focusing
on fundamental principles (linear algebra
and probability theory). Hands-on exercises
are also provided to understand thepractical use of different machine learning
methods (e.g., pattern recognition of images
and text data). The course also introduces abroad range of practical techniques, e.g.,
data mining applications and parallel
computing methods for large scale data.

From the knowledge of art, design andtechnical expressions in media, students
understand the mechanism of information
design, and learn techniques of real worldoriented interaction and infographics
through hardware production and software
production. In recent years, the real worldoriented interaction has attracted attention
from the industry due to the spread of
information devices such as smart phones andwearable terminals, and the content creator
is required to design the contents for such
ubiquitous display and communication tools
by applying the concept of infographics. In
this course, based on the graphic design
method, students cultivate the skill thatthey can discuss about visual expression,
perform an exhibition as an application of
their knowledge, and acquire the skills to
use in real world such as making visuals
related to it and making captions.

Visualization is one of the most important
technologies for visually representing
complex datasets -- from scientific/medical
experiments, physics simulations to everyday
human activity, etc. Visualized media via
the use of computer graphics techniques
could enable the users gain a deeper
understanding of the data. This course will
discuss the fundamentals and applications ofvisualization, including scientificvisualization technologies for scientific
data and information visualization
technologies for social data. 3-D userinterfaces and augmented reality for
operating visualized media will be also
covered in this course.

This course covers the processing methods
for structured data. First, we will provide
the basic concepts of regular expression andautomaton that are required for processing
structured data. Second, we will present themethods for syntactic analysis of structured
data. Third, we will present query languages
for XML, such as XPath and XQuery. Then we
will provide the methods for managing data
written in markup languages, e.g.,semistructured database. Finally, we will
