About course
More on BigData TeamThe purpose of the course:to prepare specialists for the profession of Big Data Engineer (BDE) or Machine Learning Engineer (MLE), to teach them how to write clean and supported code, to teach them how to apply fundamental knowledge when choosing technologies to solve product problems. BDE specialists will learn how to work with Big Data processing frameworks and will understand the principles of data analysis, while MLE specialists will have practical experience solving classification, regression and clustering problems, be able to work with machine learning frameworks and understand the ideology of working with Big Data.The course consists of three parts:1. Python for working with big data and data analysis: 10+ modules for mastering the database ("Pythonic" development, basics of setting up the environment, basics of data analysis, database on algorithms and data structures, Big-O notation);2. Industrial development in Python: 9 weeks to study work with testing, deployment and work on code quality; 3. Depending on the direction (the same academic load):(for BDE specialists) Practical course on Big Data: 10 weeks of practice working with HDFS, YARN, MapReduce, Hive, Spark RDD/DataFrame/SQL, Kafka, Spark Structured Streaming, Cassandra/NoSQL, Data Layout (Parquet, ORC, ...).(for MLE specialists) Practical course on Machine Learning: 10 weeks of practice solving classification and regression problems (linear and nonlinear models, SVM, random forest and boosting), immersion in working with neural networks (Deep Learning) and Unsupervised Learning.Link to the input testing: https://forms.gle/AxXNcRhRaR6pvKEr7
