This is a course covering a number of topics in Data Science, that will combine boththeoretical and practical approaches. The goal of the course is, on one hand, to understand (at least at a high level)the mathematical foundations behind some of the state-of-the-art algorithms for a wide range of tasks includingorganization and visualization of data clouds, dimensionality reduction, network analysis, clustering, classification,regression, and ranking. On the other hand, students will be exposed to numerous practical examples drawn froma wide range of topics including social network analysis, finance, statistics, etc.
