| SIC5021 | Social Big Data Analysis | 3 | 9 | Major | Master/Doctor | Convergence for Social Innovation | Korean | Yes | |
| This course aims to provide the students with a knowledge and skill about how to collect, save and analyze online text data. Specifically it seeks to help students scrap and crawl text data via online news sites, blogs, and SNS and analyze the data using unsupervised machine learning techniques. It focuses on how to use beginners or intermediate levels of natural learning process (NLP) techniques and how to visualize the corpus. The analyzes center around probabilistic topi models in different levels, ranging from LDA, to DTM and ETM. This course is designed to help students apply the techniques obtained to the data the students themselves crawl and write a research note that could potentially be submitted for journal publication. | |||||||||

This course prepares students for a more advanced course in machine learning. | |||||||||
| SIC5028 | Machine Learning with Python | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | Convergence for Social Innovation | Korean | Yes | |
| This course aims that students implement machine learning algorithms with Python programming. In the beginning of this course, students will learn the basics about Python programming. In the latter part, students will implement various machine learning algorithms such as supervised and unsupervised learning with Python so that they could exactly understand the algorithms. | |||||||||

| SIC5034 | Hierarchical Linear Modeling | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 2-8 | Convergence for Social Innovation | English | Yes |
| The purpose of this course is to develop the skills necessary to identify an appropriate technique, estimate models, and interpret results for independent research and to critically evaluate contemporary social research using hierarchical linear modeling. Social research focuses on issues that examine the relationship between individuals and the social contexts in which they work, live, or learn. This involves multilevel research, which investigates individuals within groups. In multilevel research, the nature of the data structure is hierarchical. For example, in educational research, the data typically consists of schools and pupils within these schools. In this example, pupils are nested within schools. When analyzing multilevel data, we need special statistical skills and techniques, because single-level analysis of multilevel data brings about misleading standard errors and significance tests. The hiearchical linear modeling addresses this issue, accurately dealing with a hierarchical data set, often individuals within groups. This course will be applied in the sense that we will focus on estimating models and interpreting the results, rather than understanding in detail the mathematics behind the techniques. | |||||||||
| SIC5035 | Multivariate Regression Analysis | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-8 | Convergence for Social Innovation | Korean | Yes |
| Introduction to data analysis via linear models. Topics include basic assumptions of the linear model, methods for transforming data, estimation and interpretation of the classical linear model, derivations of the estimators of interest, and diagnostics of results and/or potential fixes for violations of assumptions. This course lays the foundations for more advanced statistical modeling techniques used in data science and academic research. | |||||||||
| SIC5036 | Consumer Health Behavior | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-8 | Convergence for Social Innovation | Korean | Yes |
| This course introduces theoretical models that can predict and evaluate consumers' behaviors in health and analyzes empirical studies applied these models. This course aims to find a way to improve consumer health empowerment applied to theoretical health models. First, this course evaluates the appropriateness of the theoretical models in recent health-related studies, such as the Health Belief Model, Risk Perception Attitude Framework, Optimal Bias, Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP), and Dunning-Kruger Effect. Second, this course seeks to apply these health-related theoretical models to improve consumer health empowerment. Finally, this course suggests implications for consumer health policy and education based on consumer health behavior analysis. | |||||||||
| SIC5037 | Studies on Digital Environment and Distribution in Consumer Markets | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-8 | Convergence for Social Innovation | - | No |
| Understanding the characteristics of diverse online & offline distribution structures in the consumer markets, learning the effects of distribution innovations on consumer behavior, and further investigating how distribution is managed to extend consumer benefits in the digital era. | |||||||||
| SIC5038 | Longitudinal Categorical Data Analysis | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-8 | Convergence for Social Innovation | Korean | Yes |
