Data mining has emerged as one of the most exciting fields
in Computer Science because of the growth of computerized data collections,
which become more and more available in our modern digitalized world. Data
mining have roots in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning (including
classification, prediction, and clustering), statistical data analysis, data
visualization and information retrieval. By completion of this course, students
learn about different data mining methods such as classification, rule-based
learning, decision trees and association rules. Students also learn about data
selection and cleaning, machine learning techniques to “learn” about the “hidden”
patterns in data, and the reporting and visualization of the resulting
knowledge.
