Persons without a valid study right at a Finnish university or university of applied sciences have preference to this course.

The course covers the fundamentals of developing data science processing pipelines for data produced by Internet of Things devices.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an extension of Internet connectivity into everyday objects and physical devices. Modern IoT devices integrate many sensors which provide measurements characterising the device, its environment, or its user. These data are emerging as one of the fastest growing areas for data science.

The data science for the Internet of Things course covers the fundamentals of developing data science processing pipelines for data produced by Internet of Things devices. The course covers all common phases within data science pipelines: data collection, ground truth collection, feature engineering, and data modelling and evaluation.

Course contents

• Introduction to the Internet of Things, pervasive computing, data science
• Sensing and signal processing
• Pipelines and programming of data science for the Internet of Things
• Privacy and security for data science for the Internet of Things
• Challenges and opportunities of data science for the Internet of Things Systems.
