Teaching (next semester)

Big Data

Instructors: Dr. rer. nat. Thomas Kemmer
Shortname: 08.079.548
Course No.: 08.079.548
Course Type: Vorlesung/Übung

Requirements / organisational issues

This lecture requires general programming skills. We will mostly focus on the Scala programming language as a basis for the Apache Spark framework. Prior knowledge in the Scala language can thus be helpful but is not strictly necessary.

Students will need to work on group projects during the last few weeks of the lecture period and apply the learned techniques to real-world data sets (e.g., Twitter, Reddit, Wikimedia).
