Study Notes
Learning from Data Lecture 1
- The lecture is about learning from data, given by Dr Marcos Oliveira at the University of Exeter.
- The module overview includes module overview and data characteristics.
Module Overview
- The module content covers supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and natural language processing.
Data Characteristics
- Data characteristics include structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
- Structured data adheres to a data model, using a tabular format with relationships between rows and columns.
- Examples of structured data include tables in SQL databases.
- Structured data is easily contextualized and understood.
- Search engines often use structured data to match website content with user queries.
- Unstructured data is not organized according to a predefined model or schema.
- Unstructured data cannot be stored in a relational database.
- Unstructured data is usually 80-90% of data, and can include content such as text, images, and audio.
- Semi-structured data does not perfectly adhere to a data model but contains some level of structure, like tags, hierarchies, and other markers that give data structure.
- Examples include emails, and messages.
- Different types of data utilize different technologies, transaction management, version management, flexibility, and analysis methodologies.
Data Variety
- Data variety encompasses different forms of data, such as text, images, audio, and video, which are often collected by organizations.
- A key aspect of big data is variation in its different forms, as well as volume.
- Also, data volume, velocity, and veracity are crucial attributes of big data.
Data Scientists
- Data scientists spend substantial time on data collection, organization, and the construction of training sets.
- Data preparation and refining algorithms are also important tasks for data scientists.
- Data scientists also spend time on mining data for patterns.
- The lecture also identifies areas that data scientists find less enjoyable.
Workshops
- The module includes workshops based on Python libraries such as matplotlib, pandas, scikit-learn, and Keras, with Jupyter notebooks.
- Specific workshop times and locations are also provided.
Assessment
- Assessment includes coursework (40%), a multiple-choice exam (60%).
- Coursework involves a data analysis report and the deadline for the coursework is December 3, 2024.
- The exam will be conducted during the exam period and is an in-person closed-book online exam.
