Program Summary
Computing power has been increasing exponentially, meaning that we can harness this processing power for ever more complex tasks. Three fields that have emerged alongside this rapid growth are data analytics, machine learning and AI.
Data analytics applies fundamental scientific principles to the analysis of large, complex data sets. This rapidly growing field needs practitioners with expertise that cuts across core disciplines of computer science, mathematics and statistics, AND highly developed critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills. Combining Artificial Intelligence with Data Analytics allows us to use machine learning techniques to discover insights, find new patterns and discover relationships in the data.
