====== Learning goals -- Obiettivi del corso ======

Objective
In our digital society, every human activity is mediated by information technologies. Therefore, every activity leaves digital traces behind, that can be stored in some repository. Phone call records, transaction  records, web search logs, movement trajectories, social media texts and tweets, Every minute, an  avalanche of “big data” is produced by humans, consciously or not, that represents a novel, accurate digital  proxy of social activities at global scale. Big data provide an unprecedented “social microscope”, a novel  opportunity to understand the complexity of our societies, and a paradigm shift for the social sciences. Objective of the course is twofold: an introduction to the emergent field of big data analytics and social mining, aimed at  acquiring and analyzing big data from multiple sources to the purpose of discovering the patterns and  models of human behavior that explain social phenomena and an introduction to the technological scenario of scalable analytics.

====== Course structure ======
The course is organized into three intertwined modules:

**Module1**: Big Data Analytics and Social Mining: The focus is on what can be learnt from big  data in different domains: mobility and transportation, urban planning, demographics, economics, social  relationships, opinion and sentiment, etc.; and on the analytical and mining methods that can be used

**Module2**: Scalable Data Analytics Technologies. The focus is on managing the pipeline of the analytical process to build scalable, robust data science applications: introduction to  Hadoop,  
Spark and Mahout. Managing scalability: real case examples.

**Module3**: Students Activities.Students are requested to actively participate with individual seminars and team projects.

====== Exam ======

The exam is composed by three parts:

  * The **assignments** during the course (papers and technologies) (20%)
 
  * A **project**, The work done should be summarized in a report (max. 10 pages), to be sent to the teachers at least a week before the oral exam (project discussion). (50%)

  * An **oral exam**, the discussion of the project with a group presentation (30 minutes for all the group); (30%).

In addition the students may ask for some additional questions on the course content to improve his/her grade.

=== Round Table ===
Each team of 2 students prepares 3 minute presentation (~1-2 slides) about the round table topic. The presentation must be sent before the round table and should contain: the names of the students, the resources used (Web pages, books, papers, etc) and students' opinion about the topic.

Grades: (A) Excellent (B) Very Good (C) Good (D) Sufficient (E) Not Sufficient

Repository for the papers: http://goo.gl/5BQ50o

Each student prepares a presentation of 10 minutes (~5 slides) for papers or 15 minutes (~8 slides) for technologies:
  * Paper presentations should contain: Data description, Problem statement, Data manipulation, The analytical process and Validation
  * Technologies presentations should contain: Technology objectives, Features provided, Limitations, Examples of usage and Documentation references
At the end of the presentation there will be 5 minutes of discussion and questions.

The students must use this link https://goo.gl/7QzR2V to express their preferences (do not change already taken papers or technologies) and they will be allocated in one of the seminar days. Deadline for expressing preferences: 13/10.


=== Project requirements === 
Each team of 3-4 students select a dataset from the proposed ones and should formulate the objectives of their project. After that there will be two more presentations about the progress of the work during the course: formulation, mid and pre-final. Those presentations are intend to be used to receive feedbacks from the other students and instructors in order to improve the final project.
During the exam the final presentation of the project will be done by the team.

The final project presentation/report should include:
  * Formulation of the problem to be solved (also inspired by the proposed papers)
  * Data acquisition/pre-processing and data exploration
  * Formulation of the problem to be solved in terms of data mining problem
  * Implementation of the proposed solution in a big data platform
  * Model construction and validation
  * Discussion of result exploitation
  * Ethical and Privacy issues

To express your preferences about the dataset and the composition of the groups please use the following link: https://goo.gl/N9WiD1 ***Remember to add your email address to receive the NDA to sign, only when i receive the NDA from all the student in a group i will share the dataset!***

=== Shared Folder ===
All the documents, presentations or other materials produced by the students must be uploaded in the following shared folder. Create a folder with your surname(s) and put the files inside it.
