Description
Information Mining deals with the extraction on implicit information from raw data (Data Mining) or text (Text Mining). The goal is the development of methods for analyzing databases and discovering useful information by means of abstraction. For this pupose, machine learning methods are applied.
Lecture material
- The data mining part of the course is based on the book `Data Mining' by Ian Witten und Eibe Frank.
- The text mining part is based on chapters 13-17 of the book Introduction to Information Retrieval by D. Manning, Prabhakar Raghavan and Hinrich Schütze.
