Introduction to Data Mining

Course Description

Data Mining is the nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data. It has gradually matured as a discipline merging ideas from statistics, machine learning, database and etc. This is an introductory course for junior/senior computer science undergraduate students on the topic of Data Mining. Topics include data mining applications, data preparation, data reduction and various data mining techniques (such as association, clustering, classification, anomaly detection)
