Massive Open Online Course
- Overview
- Course Content
- Requirements & Materials
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for anyone who wants to delve into Pattern Matching algorithms from KMP to Rabin-Karp; tackle essential algorithms that traverse the graph data structure like Dijkstra’s Shortest Path; study algorithms that construct a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) from a graph; or explore Dynamic Programming algorithms. A course visualization tool will be used to understand the algorithms and their performance.
What You Will Learn
- Java programming skills by implementing graph and dynamic programming algorithms
- Algorithms for finding patterns in text processing
- How to use preprocessing in the Boyer-Moore and KMP algorithms
- The problem with hash codes in the Rabin-Karp algorithm
- The Graph ADT and its representations within auxiliary structures
How You Will Benefit
- Traverse graphs using the Depth-First and Breadth-First Search algorithms.
- Investigate Dijkstra’s Shortest Path algorithm which operates on weighted graphs.
- Study the Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) problem and its characteristics.
- Utilize Greedy algorithms, like Prim’s and Kruskal’s, to find the MST.
- Decompose large problems using Dynamic Programming Techniques.
- Apply Dynamic Programming techniques in the Longest Common Subsequence algorithm.
