In this unit, we aim to introduce key concepts and algorithms in the field of machine learning. The course will cover various topics, including data pre-processing, model training and evaluation, hyperparameter tuning, a wide range of classic supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods in-depth, as well as natural language processing, neural networks, and deep learning. Students will also explore real-world applications of machine learning and have the opportunity to gain practical experience designing, implementing, and evaluating machine learning and deep learning models to address real challenges using Python.

Covers the human factors (HCI) aspects of Information Technology at four levels, individuals, groups, national and international. Discusses methods of design and evaluation used to produce efficient, effective and satisfying user interfaces, multimedia products and websites. Also considers the various forms of computer-mediated communication, groupware, virtual reality, augmented reality, ubiquitous computing and mobile technologies. Relates theoretical concepts to practical techniques within a fair socio-technical context.

Business Intelligence (BI) has become a focus of organisations wishing

to make more effective use of their data resource. This unit examines

both the theoretical and practical aspects of BI, from discovery,

inventory, extraction and transformation of data sources, through the

common approaches to data modeling and analysis, to management reporting

environments (MRE). The practical component of this unit will involve

students creating a data warehouse, engage in data modelling and

creating a functioning MRE. This will involve using a range of

real-world data, making decisions about which data to procure and

employing BI tools that are commonly used in the industry.

This unit covers the advanced study of Information Security Policy and

Governance at an organisational level. Students will gain an

understanding of standards and policies as well as international,

national and local regulatory requirements governing organisational

information technology systems. The unit will address relevant data

protection legislation, industry best practices, risk management

techniques and develop the necessary skills to evaluate and measure

organisational compliance and to determine appropriate organisational

strategy to best support the information security needs.
