Introduction To Data Science Artificial Intelligence

AY2022/2023 Semester 2

In today's era of Information, `Data' is the new driving force, provided we know how to extract relevant `Intelligence'. This course will start with the core principles of Data Science, and will equip you with the basic tool and techniques of data handling, exploratory data analysis, data visualization, data-based inference, and data-focussed communication. The course will also introduce you to the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence - state space representation, uninformed search, and reinforcement learning. The course will motivate you to work closely with data and make data-driven decisions in your field of study. The course will also touch upon ethical issues in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and motivate you to explore the cutting-edge applications related to Big Data, Neural Networks and Deep Learning. Python will be the language of choice to introduce hands-on computational techniques.
