ADVANCED ANALYTICS FOR DATA SCIENCE AND BIG DATA

About the Course

This professional-level, five-day intensive program is designed for data practitioners ready to move beyond foundational modeling and dive into the complexities of large-scale, unstructured data environments. As the volume of digital information continues to explode, the ability to architect sophisticated analytics solutions using distributed computing and non-relational databases has become a critical competitive advantage. This course provides the advanced quantitative and technical skills required to extract meaningful intelligence from complex and high-velocity data streams.

The curriculum focuses heavily on the technical execution of data science within a distributed ecosystem. Participants will transition from theoretical understanding to practical application, learning to develop MapReduce functionality and utilize NoSQL databases for handling massive datasets. Through rigorous hands-on laboratories, students explore specialized domains such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Social Network Analysis (SNA), culminating in a final capstone project where advanced methods are applied to real-world datasets in a live environment. Mastery of these skills positions professionals for high-impact roles such as Machine Learning Engineer, Data Architect, and Lead Data Scientist.
