  • DATA 5000 : Introduction to Data Science ( Fall 2024 ) ( Winter 2023 ) ( Winter 2022 ) ( Winter 2020 ) ( Fall 2018 ) ( Winter 2018 ) ( Winter 2017 ) ( Winter 2016 )
    The course covers topics relevant to data science: working with data, exploratory data analysis, data mining, machine learning. The concepts are illustrated using the R language. Students also receivehands-on tutorials (e.g., IBM Cognos Analytics, Tableau). Students will be evaluated by their courseprojects. The course will be lecture-based and will also offer some hands-on tutorials. The project component will be flexible and will involve data collection, manipulation, and analysis..
  • COMP 5117: Mining Software Repositories ( Fall 2024 ) ( Fall 2022 ) ( Fall 2020 ) ( Fall 2019 ) ( Fall 2018 ) ( Fall 2017 ) ( Fall 2016 ) ( Fall 2015 )
    This course will introduce the methods and tools of mining software repositories and artifacts used by software developers and researchers. Students will learn to extract and abstract data from software artifacts and repositories, such as source code, version control systems and revisions, issue-tracking systems, and mailing lists and discussions. Students will also learn about various techniques of analyzing this data in order to identify meaningful relationships, patterns and trends, to recover behaviours and software development processes from evidence, or to empirically test hypotheses about software development.
  • COMP 3004 : Object-Oriented Software Engineering ( Fall 2020 ) ( Winter 2020 ) ( Fall 2017 ) ( Fall 2016 )
    Theory and development software systems. Computer ethics. Possible topics include: software development processes, requirement specification, class and scenario modeling, state modeling, UML, design patterns, traceability.
