| Formelle forudsætninger: | Students must have experience with programming, at least to the level of an introductory programming course (e.g. "Introductory Programming", or "Object-Oriented Programming"). Some familiarity with statistics and database systems is desirable but not a requirement. |
| Læringsmål: | After the course the students should be able to:
- Analyze data mining problems and reason about the most appropriate methods to apply to a given dataset and knowledge extraction need.
- Implement basic pre-processing, association mining, classification and clustering algorithms.
- Apply and reflect advanced pre-processing, association mining, classification and clustering algorithms.
- Work efficiently in groups and evaluate the algorithms on real-world problems. |
| Fagligt indhold: | This course gives an introduction to the field of data mining. The course is relatively practically oriented, focusing on applicable algorithms. Practical exercises will involve both use of a freely available data mining package and individual implementation of algorithms.
The course will cover the following main topics:
- The data mining process
- Data pre-processing
- Pattern and association mining
- Classification and prediction
- Cluster analysis
Additionally the course will touch on topics including data warehousing, validation and recommender systems. Application examples will be given from domains including e-commerce, computer games and finance. |
| Læringsaktiviteter: | 12 forelæsninger + frivillige øvelsestimer 7 weeks of lectures, followed by 7 weeks of supervised group projects.
