Goals

After completed the course, the student should be able to:
- collect and store Big Data in a distributed computer environment
- perform basic queries to a database operating on a distributed file system
- account for basic principles of parallel computations
- use MapReduce concept to parallelize common data processing algorithms
- account for how standard machine learning models should be modified in order to process Big Data
- use tools for machine learning for Big Data

Prerequisites

Recommended: databases, machine learning

Contents
