We will cover the basics of ML and study their scalable versions for implementation within distributed computing frameworks. We will pursue ML techniques such as matrix factorization, convex optimization, dimensionality reduction, clustering, classification, graph analytics and deep learning, among others. We will emphasize algorithmic development for big data mining in three different, but general scenarios: (1) when available memory is extremely large; (2) when available memory is small, but can be distributed across a cluster (e.g., cloud-like environments); and (3) when the available memory is small and data has to be analyzed “in-situ” or “online” (e.g., streaming environments). The course will be project driven with source material from a variety of real-world applications. Students will be expected to design, implement and test their ML solutions.
Recommended Background: Machine Learning.

COSC 545 - Fundamentals of Digital Archeology 3 Credit Hours
An advanced topic course focused on developing multi-disciplinary skills of discovering, retrieving, analyzing, and presenting operational data. Students will use critical thinking and intense practice solving real-world problems to recognize and address key operational issues: the lack of context, missing observations, and incorrect values. At the end of the course students will be able to discover operational data, to retrieve and store it, to recover context, to estimate the impact of missing events, to identify unreliable or incorrect values, and to present the results. Hands-on assignments will be given, requiring demonstration, presentation and report writing.
Credit Restriction: Students cannot receive credit for both 445 and 545.
Recommended Background: 340, 370, Electrical and Computer Engineering 313.
