Supplemental readings will provide additional background for each application area, but most of the work in the course will involve implementing, studying, and enhancing the programming examples from the textbook. During class, students will take turns presenting their own solutions and helping to lead the discussion. A final project will be required.
Enrollment in this course is limited and requires permission of the instructor. Please note that this is not a basic course on data mining, cluster computing, or programming in Scala; it assumes you already know something about these topics and/or you can learn them quickly on your own.
