Learning outcomes
The Lab of Big Data architectures extends and integrates what learnt by the student in the course statistics and architectures for big data processing with a more in depth and practical knowledge of the big-data technologies and architectures. The students will learn how to design a big data system, the key concepts and differentiators behind state-of-the-art technologies and architectures, and how to use it effectively. This will be done by a series of practical exercises with interactive explanations, where students will learn by solving practical problems and examples.
