significant. In this course, big data harvesting and manipulating methods,
supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques (especially artificial
neural network), text data analysis and cloud computing are covered. By
completion of this course, students will gain the ability to harvest big data
from the web and process them by using supervised and unsupervised neural
networks.
