This lecture introduces the Applied Data Analysis (CS401) course at EPFL, taught by the instructor Robert West. The course covers a broad range of data analysis topics, focusing on methods, principles, and tools rather than deep expertise in specific areas. Students will learn to conduct full-fledged data science projects, exploring data, building models, and deriving insights. The syllabus includes handling data, visualizing data, regression analysis, observational studies, machine learning, text and network data handling, and scaling to massive datasets. The lecture also emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in the fast-paced field of data science.
