This hands-on course covers tools and methods used by data scientists, from researching solutions to scaling prototypes on Spark clusters. Students engage with the full data engineering and data science pipeline, from data acquisition to extracting insight ...

Description

This lecture introduces the concepts of data stream processing, focusing on the differences between batch and stream processing, the importance of stream processing, and its applications in various fields such as computing, fraud detection, and predictive maintenance. The lecture covers tools like Apache Storm, Flink, and Kafka, and explains the operations and challenges involved in stream processing. Students will also learn about related concepts like event time, processing time, and window operations, as well as how to work with streaming data using Spark Streaming.

Data mapping

In computing and data management, data mapping is the process of creating data element mappings between two distinct data models.

Real-time computing

Real-time computing (RTC) is the computer science term for hardware and software systems subject to a "real-time constraint", for example from event to system response. Real-time programs must guarantee response within specified time constraints, often referred to as "deadlines". Real-time responses are often understood to be in the order of milliseconds, and sometimes microseconds. A system not specified as operating in real time cannot usually guarantee a response within any timeframe, although typical or expected response times may be given.

Data analysis

Data analysis is the process of inspecting, cleansing, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information, informing conclusions, and supporting decision-making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of names, and is used in different business, science, and social science domains. In today's business world, data analysis plays a role in making decisions more scientific and helping businesses operate more effectively.

Big data

Big data primarily refers to data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software. Data with many entries (rows) offer greater statistical power, while data with higher complexity (more attributes or columns) may lead to a higher false discovery rate. Though used sometimes loosely partly because of a lack of formal definition, the interpretation that seems to best describe big data is the one associated with a large body of information that we could not comprehend when used only in smaller amounts.

Data mining

Data mining is the process of extracting and discovering patterns in large data sets involving methods at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and database systems. Data mining is an interdisciplinary subfield of computer science and statistics with an overall goal of extracting information (with intelligent methods) from a data set and transforming the information into a comprehensible structure for further use. Data mining is the analysis step of the "knowledge discovery in databases" process, or KDD.
