(2023)
This NSF-funded summer program teaches students the principles of data science and machine learning. Students will learn concepts about data modeling, databases, SQL, data cleaning, data wrangling, and visualization. Students will learn basic Python programming for processing data and learn machine learning techniques, including basic concepts, training, classification, and sentiment analysis.
The program will use the open-source Texera platform to help students get familiar with these concepts even if they have a limited computing background. We will 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.
