ΕΠ19 - Data Mining

Information

Code : ΕΠ19

Type : Elective

Semester : 7

ECTS credits: 5

Course URL: https://eclass.hua.gr/courses/DIT129/

Expected Outcomes

The course aims to introduce basic data mining concepts, presenting requirements and needs for the application of new methods and techniques for data analysis. The course extensively presents algorithms for supervised and unsupervised data mining / learning, such as clustering, classification, association rules. The course also presents techniques concerning designing and developing of data warehouses. At the end of the course the students must be able to:
- Analyze a data set and identify useful knowledge
- Categorize the knowledge extraction problem in the types of problems that has been taught
- Use data mining software in a way that creates added value

Content

Data warehouses. Data analysis. OLAP systems. The knowledge mining process. Data clustering. Classification. Association rules. Temporal mining. Uncertainty handling in data mining tasks. Semi-structured data, information retrieval from the web.
