This NSF-funded summer program teaches students the principles of data science and machine learning. Students will learn concepts about data modeling, data cleaning, data wrangling, and visualization. Students will learn basic Python programming for processing data and learn ML techniques, including basic concepts, training, classification, and sentiment analysis.

The program uses the open-source Texera platform to help students get familiar with these concepts even if they have a limited computing background. We include a capstone project for students to learn these skills by analyzing real data (e.g., social media data) to apply the knowledge to conduct ML-based data science. The instructors and staff include professors and Ph.D. students from UCI and UCLA who are experts in data management, data science, and machine learning.

We had a successful program in both 2023 and 2024 ! To reach out to us, you can send emails to:
