DESCRIPTION:This course will take place at Queen's University Belfast.\n\nD
 ata Analytics\, Data Science and Big Data are a just a few of the many ter
 ms used in business and academic research. These refer to the manipulation
 \, processing and analysis of data and are concerned with the extraction o
 f knowledge from data whether for competitive advantage or to provide scie
 ntific insight. In recent years\, this area has undergone a revolution in 
 which HPC has been a key driver.\n\nThis course provides an overview of da
 ta science and the analytical techniques that form its basis as well as ex
 ploring how HPC provides the power that has driven their adoption. The cou
 rse will cover: key data analytical techniques such as\, classification\, 
 optimisation\, and unsupervised learning\; key parallel patterns\, such as
  Map Reduce\, for implementing analytical techniques.\n\nAttendees should 
 be familiar with basic Linux bash shell commands and have some previous ex
 perience with Python programming.\n\nAttendees will be given temporary acc
 ess to the Data Analytics Cluster on ARCHER so will not require to have Py
 thon installed on their laptops\, but will require the ability to use an s
 sh connection (using e.g. terminal (Mac/Linux) or putty (Win))\n\nTimetabl
