BUAD 5132 - Machine Learning II

(4) Prerequisite(s): BUAD 5122 - Machine Learning I and BUAD 5772 - Database Management and Visualization

This course is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of Machine Learning and Big Data, including more elaborate techniques that extend the coverage from Machine Learning I. The data storage and retrieval techniques that have served the information processing industry for decades have proven inadequate in the face of the huge collections of data presently being created by the Internet and the so-called “Internet of Things.” Businesses are requiring a new set of technologies that are specifically designed to deal with these huge data sets. In this course, the Hadoop environment and Amazon Web Services (AWS) will be used to process large-scale data sets.
