Description
Almost all companies these days are investing thousands of dollars in data analysis to get their data analyzed. Well, in fact studies say that there are around 73% of organizations have invested in Big Data. Why do you think that is the case? What can you reap of the data, ideally just 1s and 0s? Moreover, how does this data help an organization’s future?
Most of you might have guessed it right; the market trends, the consumer habits can all be precisely predicted, if we are able to analyze our data efficiently. This Learning Path will tell you how you can achieve all this by using Julia.
Packt’s Video Learning Paths are an amalgamation of multiple video courses that are logically tied together to provide you with a larger learning curve.
With the amount of data that is generated in the world these days, we are faced with the challenge of analyzing this data. Julia, which enjoys the benefits of a sophisticated compiler, parallel execution, and an all-encompassing mathematical function library, acts as a very good tool that helps us work with data more efficiently.
In this Learning Path, embark on your journey from the basics of Julia, right from installing it on your system and setting up the environment. You will then be introduced to the basic machine learning techniques, data science models, and concepts of parallel computing.
After completing this Learning Path, you will have acquired all the skills that will help you work with data effectively.
