Detailed Taxonomy:

  1. Foundation Concepts (Prerequisites) Fundamental skills and knowledge required before diving into data science topics, including basic programming concepts and understanding of data types.

  2. Key Terms Essential terminology and definitions used in data science, machine learning, AI, and related fields to build a strong conceptual foundation.

  3. Python Programming Concepts Core Python programming skills necessary for data science, such as control structures, functions, object-oriented programming, file handling, and debugging.

  4. Python Libraries Introduction to important Python libraries used in data science, including NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, Statsmodels, scikit-learn, NetworkX, and more.

  5. Data Manipulation and Analysis Techniques for collecting, cleaning, exploring, and transforming data to prepare it for analysis, including data handling with Pandas and NumPy.

  6. Statistical Analysis Concepts and methods in statistics necessary for analyzing data and making inferences, including descriptive and inferential statistics, probability distributions, and hypothesis testing.

  7. Machine Learning Concepts Understanding of machine learning algorithms, model building, evaluation techniques, and deployment strategies using libraries like scikit-learn.

  8. Data Visualization Tools and techniques for visualizing data to effectively communicate insights, focusing on libraries like Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly.

  9. Natural Language Processing (NLP) Concepts and tools for processing and analyzing textual data, including text preprocessing, tokenization, sentiment analysis, and using libraries like NLTK and spaCy.

  10. Generative AI and Advanced Topics Advanced topics including generative AI, vector stores, deep learning frameworks, and the use of libraries like LangChain and LlamaIndex for building AI applications.

This taxonomy covers the breadth of topics in your course, organizing them into coherent categories that reflect their roles in the learning pathway. Each category groups related concepts together, making it easier to structure the course content and understand the dependencies between topics.
