Syllabus
Course overview and goals
Today, utilization of computation and data is required in various fields. In this course, we teach methods for analyzing and utilizing data using computers, which are important to be active as researchers and engineers in science and engineering. The course covers advanced topics that are not covered in the courses of Fundamentals of Data Science and Fundamentals of Progressive Data Science.
Course description and aims
The goal is to understand how to use computers to analyze and utilize data.
Keywords

| Class 2 | Variational Bayesian Method | Understanding the variational Bayesian algorithm and its application to DNN. |
| Class 3 | Time Series Analysis | Understanding methods for analyzing changes and patterns in data over time. |
| Class 4 | Anomaly Detection | Understanding the methods used to automatically identify anomalous behavior in a dataset that deviates from normal behavior. |
| Class 5 | Simulation and AI | Understanding methods and examples of the fusion of simulation and AI. |
| Class 6 | Knowledge Graphs | Understanding of knowledge graphs and their applications. |
| Class 7 | Application of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Techniques to Frontier Research | Understanding applications of machine learning and data-based techniques in physical sciences and renewable energy technologies, including materials informatics for the discovery of new functional materials, machine learning improvement of modeling methods, and ML-assisted renewable energy system management. |
