CISC 483-683 Data Mining
Home Page Fall 2011
Overview:
Data Mining attempts to identify interesting structural patterns
in large data sets that can be used to make future predictions.
For example,
one might analyze supermarket data to determine what
items are typically purchased with other items, and
then display those items together to encourage more
customers to purchase both items. Data mining is becoming
increasingly important in many environments; a few of these include
advertising, banking, bioinformatics, business, security, and
web page design, but there are many others.
This course will introduce fundamental
strategies and methodologies for data mining along with the
concepts underlying them, and will provide hands-on
experience with a variety of different techniques.
Students will learn to use the Weka
workbench, a set of data mining tools. The undergraduate
version, CISC-483, has
been approved as a technical elective for undergraduate computer
science majors.
