Description

Data mining deals with the extraction of implicit, yet unknown knowledge from raw data. For this purpose, there are methods for analyzing databases, in order to identify patterns and to perform abstraction, in order to produce valuable knowledge. The methods applied are based on machine techniques.

Lecture material

The course is based on the book `Data Mining' by Ian Witten und Eibe Frank

Course structure:

  1. Input: Concepts, Instances, Attributes
  2. Output: Knowledge Representation
  3. Algorithms: The Basic Methods
  4. Credibility: Evaluating What's Been Learned
  5. Implementations: Real Machine Learning Schemes
  6. Moving On: Engineering the Input and Output
  7. Nuts And Bolts: Machine Learning Algorithms In Java
