Nowadays, we have access to large datasets, many created and released by governments. For example, here in France, we have the data.gouv.fr portal.
These datasets offer great insight into our societies and can help spot social trends or social issues.
During this modale, you will familiarize yourself with notions and tools for exploring data. We will discuss impactful research articles that use computational methods to uncover social issues. This class also introduces the different significant steps a data science engineer needs to know to extract knowledge from large volumes of data.
The first five sessions are dedicated to presenting concepts and tools, while in the remaining sessions, you will carry out projects in pairs with the tutor’s help.
Prerequisite: Python
Language: The materials are in English, but the class can be in English or French, depending on the students.
