CIVE 7150 — Data-Driven Decision Support for Civil and Environmental Engineering
4 semester hoursGraduateLecturetypical days: T/FBostonTraditional
Presents supervised and unsupervised methods for dealing with large data sets and their application to support decision making in various civil and environmental engineering areas. Focuses on predictive models and methods for knowledge mining. Discusses applications from the transportation, urban mobility, and infrastructure maintenance domains. Topics include classification: linear regression, logistic regression, K-NN, and other classifiers; dimensionality reduction; clustering: K-means, hierarchical clustering, Gaussian mixture models, density-based clustering; model validation; and text mining. Demonstrates the applicability and underlying principles of the various methods through case studies with extensive data sets. Applications include classification of pavement distress images; mobility patterns; real-time transportation demand prediction; and text mining from reports. Background in probability and statistics and familiarity with Python/R recommended.
