Data Science III: Adv Mod Tec

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This final course in the core data science sequence focuses on unsupervised learning techniques, natural language processing, and network analysis. The course builds off of the modeling concepts covered in Data Science II by teaching students how to effectively explore, model, and predict with unstructured data, such as text or data streams like those encountered in social media. Students will engage with a number of policy-relevant data case studies throughout the course and will work on a policy-focused data science project in which to apply their statistical learning toolkit.
