A semester of Big Data and Machine Learning @ the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya , Fall 2019/20
Addressing the need for broad and practical big data, data science and machine learning education, we've built an innovative, focused and intensive learning program consisting of 13 weekly units, based at IDC. The program aims to provide machine learning, big data and cloud computing skills to scientists and/or engineers with a strong quantitative background and education. Weekly units will consist of lectures and recitations, hands-on work and homework assignments designed to practice concepts and techniques. Homework will be carefully checked and feedback will be provided. The program is designed in collaboration with other leading research institutes in Israel.
The course is taught by a team of instructors and teaching assistants who are research and industry leaders, experienced python programmers and experienced machine learning, big data and data science teachers: Ben Galili, Alon Oring, Dr. Keren Ouaknine, Prof. Ariel Shamir, Prof. Zohar Yakhini. The plan is designed in collaboration with leading academic institutes in Israel.
