Academic Director: Mr. Eran Shaham, Director of the Center for High-Tech and Cyber Studies at Bar-Ilan University

Head of the program: Dr. Thomas Crafty, senior lecturer and international researcher in the field

You sent a resume for a job and never received a reply. What actually happened there? Did you know that in
human resources departments, your research is conducted and information is collected on each candidate for the position, so the resume is only the
tip of the iceberg of the information that can be obtained.
Today, information about candidates is collected from their activity in social networks, blogs, photos and historical activity on the Internet. A
personality profile is built from all the information collected and only then is the suitability for the job assessed.
This role in the company is performed by the Data Scientist - a role that has become one of the most challenging and rewarding in the company
In recent years .

The Data Scientist conducts research to generate business insights for the organization (Intelligence Business), qualifies and organizes the
information used for research, runs various Learning Machine algorithms, data mining and modeling and thus helps build the processes of
information preparation and optimization of the various algorithms. While integrating statistical tools, he is able to predict
the future given existing information.

Scientist Data has extensive knowledge on the following topics:

Collecting information from a variety of systems and working with large amounts of information (Big Data) and o Integration -

processing unstructured information (Unstructured).

Programming and statistical analysis, creating a connection between different o Investigation
databases. Prediction, data mining, optimization, textual information processing and data analysis. - o Analytical analysis -

Publication of results based on the analysis of the collected o show -

information. o In the program we will get to know all these and more. We will get to know the tools with which the Data Scientist works based on getting to know

Server SQL Microsoft and the development languages Python and R. At the end of the studies, the student will submit a thesis based on
data research and including all the stages of development and implementation studied in the program.

The purpose of the program

The program will prepare the student to be a skilled data scientist with the ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. The
program will provide the knowledge and tools needed to develop Machine Learning projects.
and implement them in the production systems. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:

o Work on a data science project from start to finish. o Work as a task

team in a shared environment. o write a research protocol

before starting the project. o Provide clean and honest data for
analysis. o Develop predictive models using appropriate
tools for the problem and according to the client's requirements. o write a summary report explaining the methodology used
by the project and the models developed along with validation
the models.

o Implementing the developed models and training the end users to use them correctly and intelligently.
