BDMA Documents

Overview

This repo summarizes documents (slides, notes, books, papers, assignments, exams) in the courses that I attended in the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree Programme in Big Data Management and Analytics (BDMA). This program covers Big Data (BD) and Business Intelligence (BI), complemented with ethics and horizontal skills. BDMA is jointly delivered by Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Belgium, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Spain, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) in Netherlands, Centrale Supélec (CS) in France and Università degli Studi di Padova (UniPD) in Italy. All students will study at ULB and UPC in the first two semesters, and we are allowed to choose our desired university for the third semester (I chose UniPd). In my cohort (2023-2025), the Master's Thesis Defence and Graduation Ceremony were organized at UniPd.
