Syllabus
Lesson 1 - Introduction to the QMV Process
Learn about the Question, Modeling, and Validation (QMV) process of data analysis. Understand the basics behind each step and apply the QMV process to analyze on how Udacity employees choose candies!Lesson 2 - Question Phase
We will drill in on the questioning phase of the QMV process. We’ll teach you how to turn a vague question into a statistical one that can be analyzed with statistics and machine learning. You will also analyze a Twitter dataset and try to predict when a person will tweet next!Lesson 3 - Modeling Phase
Building upon lesson 2, you will learn how to build rigorous mathematical, statistical, and machine learning models so you can make accurate predictions. You look through the recently released U.S. medicare dataset for anomalous transactions.Lesson 4 - Validation Phase
So how do you tell if your model is doing well? In this lesson, we will teach you some of the fundamental and important metrics that you can use to grade the performance of the models that you’ve build. You will analyze the AT&T connected cars data set and see if you can tell which driver is which by analyzing their driving patterns.Final Project - Identify Hacking Attempts from Network Flow Logs
You will create a program that examines log data of net flow traffic, and produces a score, from 1 to 10, describing the degree to which the logs suggest a brute force attack is taking place on a server.Prerequisite
None.
Instructors
- Don Dini - Don M. Dini has been practicing, teaching, and writing about data science for over ten years. He studied computer science and artificial intelligence at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and University of Southern California. While at USC he was a lecturer in computer science and worked on applying AI to various real world problems, such as understanding city populations through simulation, and systems to provide security against unknown attackers, which have since been used at LAX, the US coast guard, among other institutions. Today Don is a data scientist at AT&T where he works on creating the next generation of communication networks, and creating models to understand human communication. In addition Don is an instructor of Kung Fu, and teaches classes in Palo Alto, CA.
- Rishi Pravahan - Rishiraj Pravahan is a data scientist working for AT&T. Prior to joining AT&T. Rishiraj worked for the ATLAS experiment at CERN where he was part of the team that discovered the Higgs Boson. While at CERN, he worked on constructing, commissioning and calibrating the ATLAS detector as well as on software techniques to analyze the massive dataset from the Large Hadron Collider to search for new physics. He has also been a passionate teacher and advocate for science through public talks and seminars in the US, Europe, India and Latin America. His current work involves, understanding networks, privacy and security of customer data, collection, storage and analysis of sensor data and making advances in the frontiers of statistics and machine learning. In his spare time he loves to read, play pool, cook, travel and learn about other cultures.

Platform
Udacity est une entreprise fondé par Sebastian Thrun, David Stavens, et Mike Sokolsky offrant cours en ligne ouvert et massif.
Selon Thrun, l'origine du nom Udacity vient de la volonté de l'entreprise d'être "audacieux pour vous, l'étudiant ". Bien que Udacity se concentrait à l'origine sur une offre de cours universitaires, la plateforme se concentre désormais plus sur de formations destinés aux professionnels.
