Summary
Students, during the course, are introduced to the basic approaches, methods and algorithms from big data processing.
The lectures will provide the necessary amount of theory so that it can be applied during the individual work of the students on the tutorials.
Tutorials will provide space for discussing the problems, showing practical tasks and exercising on simple examples.
