General Information
Course Description
Credits: 3
Data mining is the process of discovering meaningful new correlations,
patterns and trends by sifting through large amounts of data stored in
repositories. This course will examine techniques and algorithms used
for such discoveries. These techniques and algorithms are derived
from domains ranging from databases, machine learning,
pattern recognition, to statistical learning.
Readings: Research papers, surveys, and overviews from the data mining literature. We will not use
a textbook
