Topics covered help learners to understand customers, develop new products and cut operational costs. Enrollees learn efficiency, powerful programming techniques and algorithms to transform large quantities of information into business intelligence.
The Graduate Certificate in Big Data Management & Mining program teaches the following:
• Mathematical properties and usage of database programming languages
• Methods of database design, conceptual modeling, and physical storage for database information
• Fundamental notions of concurrency control and recovery in database systems
• Goal tree search, logic and deduction, uncertainty, fuzzy logic, knowledge representations, machine learning, vision, and action planning
• Methods for association and dependency analysis, classification and predication, and clustering analysis
• Current trends in data mining, and data mining for scientific, engineering and medical applications
Information on the Big Data Management & Mining Graduate Certificate program:
• 12 credits – four classes
• One year to complete (on average)
