This module covers how to apply machine learning techniques to large data-sets, so-called big-data. An introduction to machine learning is presented to provide a general understanding of the concepts of machine learning, common machine learning techniques, and how to apply these methods to data-sets of moderate sizes. Deep learning and computing frameworks to scale machine learning techniques to big-data are then presented. Scientific data formats and data curation methods are also discussed.

Political Economy of East Asia (POLS0094)

This module introduces East Asia (consisting of both Northeast and Southeast Asian states) through a political-economy lens. The region has experienced unprecedentedly rapid industrialization since the middle of the twentieth century, which has been accompanied by economic and governance crises. Relations between countries within the region are similarly dynamic, as they are both drawn together through regional institutions and economic integration, and repelled by conflicting interests and claims.
The module will cover both domestic and international influences on the region’s political and economic experience, with a focus on their effects on economic policies, particularly in relation to trade, investment, and other international political economy concerns. These factors will include topics such as the historical and contemporary development of political institutions; democratization processes; development strategies and industrial policies; participation in regional and international institutions; and the dynamics of regional cross-border trade and investment.
You will gain familiarity of political-economy issues in the context of East Asia and will be encouraged to draw upon this knowledge to consider the broader academic and policy implications for issues relating to the region.
