Course Director

Text(s)

This is an introductory course on data mining. The course introduces the concepts, algorithms, techniques, and systems of data mining, including (1) what is data mining? (2) get to know your data, (3) data preprocessing, integration and transformation, (4) design and implementation of data warehouse and OLAP systems, (5) data cube technology, (6&7) mining frequent patterns and assoication: basic concepts and advanced methods, (8&9) classification: basic concepts and advanced techniques, and (10) cluster analysis: basic concepts. The course will serve both senior-level computer science undergraduate students and the first-year graduate students interested in the field. Also, the course may attract students from other disciplines who need to understand, develop, and use data mining techniques and data mining systems to analyze large amounts of data.

Assessment and Revisions

Revisions in last 6 years Approximately when revision was done Reason for revision Data or documentation available?
Reorganization of Chapters and split some long Chapters into Two: Basic and Advanced Fall 2010 Working on new version of the textbook which was published in Fall 2011 My 3rd edition of the textbook published in Fall 2011
Reduce the coverage of the last chapter on clustering to basic due to the expansion of other chapters in the new textbook Fall 2011 Students feel too much materials covered and need more focus and in more depath on those covered professional judgement based on students' feedback
