Explain The Basic Principles Of The Data Mining Process.

Data Mining (CSBP320)

This course introduces the concepts, issues, tasks and techniques of data mining process. Topics include data preparation and feature selection, association rules, classification, clustering, evaluation and validation, and sequence mining, and data mining applications. The course mainly focuses on data mining issues such as data selection and cleaning, machine learning techniques to ``learn" knowledge that is ``hidden" in data, and the reporting and visualization of the resulting knowledge. The course illustrates data mining process by examples of practical applications from the life sciences, computer science, and commerce. Several machine learning topics including classification, prediction, and clustering will be covered.
