MIT 808 Information
The module, from 2020, has been taught by Assoc. Prof Vukosi Marivate and Mr Abiodun Modupe. Prof Vukosi Marivate has a background in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence and is interested in the role of Data Science in Society. Mr Abiodun Modupe is interested in the confluence of artificial intelligence for natural language processing and speech recognition (because of the abundance of text documents and the need for knowledge to be extracted). In this module, students carry out a Data Science Capstone project that brings together the theoretical module they have completed in the first year of their MITC Big Data Science program.
