Big Data refers to increasingly larger, more diverse, and more complex data sets that
challenge the abilities of traditionally or most commonly used approaches to access, manage,
and analyze data effectively. As we are entering an age of Big Data. Big Data give both
unique opportunities and amazing challenges. Deep learning (also known as deep
structured learning, hierarchical learning or deep machine learning) is a branch of machine
learning based on a set of algorithms that attempt to model high level abstractions in data.
Big Data Analytics and Deep Learning are two high-focus of data science. Big Data
has become important as many organizations both public and private have been collecting
massive amounts of domain-specific information, which can contain useful information about
problems such as national intelligence, cyber security, fraud detection, marketing, and
medical informatics. Key benefit of Deep Learning is the analysis and learning of massive
amounts of unsupervised data, making it a valuable tool for Big Data Analytics where raw
data is largely unlabeled and un-categorized. This course provides introduction to big data
tools and deep learning frameworks.
