Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course introduces central methods and approaches for the organization and analysis of large and scientific data: distributed data repositories, index and access structures, hasing and clustering techniques. In programming exercises, students learn ways to support similarity search and data mining on large data. E.g. Parallelisation with MapReduce, Apache Spark or filter-refinement techniques.

Subject specific goals:
- Analysis and interpretation of scientific data
- Evaluate results of the analysis process
- Implementation of scalable solutions for huge amounts of data
- Users support and advice

Generic goals:
- Teamwork
- Improvement of programming skills
- Understanding of interplay in Data Mining and Scientific Computing
