Overview

Data Science is a field which has grown in huge leaps. The Collaborative Specialization is focused on interdisciplinary Data Science. In contrast, our full master’s and PhD programs are totally focused on the technical aspect of Data Science.

Features

The Data Science, Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence programs from Carleton University offer opportunities to undertake groundbreaking research in the field of data science and analytics from several directions such as statistics, AI methods and software engineering.

Programme Structure

Research

Data mining considering the algorithms that can be used to reveal patterns in complex data sets, which are then used to extract useable and relevant information.

Statistical measures such as predictive analytics that use extracted data to gauge the likelihood of future events given history.

Machine learning which is an application of artificial intelligence that permits the processing of vast quantities of data that exceed normal computing capacity and call for new approaches, to extract or learn useful algorithms and rules.

Analysis of both stored and streaming data in the context of various systems and applications.

Data analytics platforms and parallel processing techniques to improve the performance of data analysis.
