With the rapid growth in social media, Internet of Things, connected healthcare, online banking, and other digital applications, two major, interconnected technology trends are emerging: (a) big data computing and (b) big data analytics with machine learning. Several market research studies predict that, over the next decade, a significant majority of global jobs, R&D and investments will be in these two emerging fields. Therefore, the two comprehensive courses on these topics blend big data, machine learning andtext mining with applications to different industries, provide hands-on experience on software tools to prepare, analyze and make decisions with data, data visualization, and rapid prototyping with open source platforms for machine learning and computing.

The two courses are completely self-contained. Primary audience include application developers and engineers in various domains with a desire to learn machine learning and computing, students wanting to gain advance training to position themselves for the job market, and decision makers to gain technical knowledge for related product development or management. Both the hands-on courses are introductory and therefore open to anyone. The instructors have several years of R&D experience in the U.S., both in academia and industry. Therefore, they bring unique experiences to these courses.
