Data Science Taster Lecture

Speaker: Dr Dimitris Mylonas, Assistant Professor in Computer Science

Date: Friday 12th November 2021, 4:30-5:30pm (GMT)

The NCH Data Science programme explores the fundamentals and skills of data science, including skills in programming with data, machine learning, and natural language processing, and enables students to implement these skills at a practical level.

The NumPy library is a fundamental package for scientific programming in Python using arrays. In this taster lecture, we will introduce what an array is and how we can use NumPy to create, index and modify them.

We will also explore how we can apply these methods for manipulating colour images in Python. Python is one of the easiest programming languages to learn and the most sought-after skill for data scientists.

This taster will also include an introductory overview of studying at NCH, and there will be ample time for Q&A with Faculty and Student Ambassadors. Your data-driven journey in the humanities starts here.
