Aim:
Data mining centers on finding valid, novel, interesting, and potentially
useful patterns in data. It aims at transforming a large amount of data into a
well of knowledge.
Learning Objectives:

To learn how to gather and analyze large sets of data to gain useful
business understanding and how to produce a quantitative analysis
report/memo with the necessary information to make Decisions.
To Develop and apply critical thinking, problem-solving, and decisionmaking skills.
Define knowledge discovery and data mining
Recognize the key areas and issues in data mining
Apply the techniques of clustering, classification, association finding,
feature selection and visualization to real world data
Determine whether a real world problem has a data mining solution
Apply evaluation metrics to select data mining techniques.

Course Outcome:
On completion of this course Students should have gained
A good understanding of the basic concepts, principles and techniques of
data mining.
The data mining process and important issues around data cleaning, preprocessing and integration
The main concepts of data warehousing
The principle algorithms and techniques used in data mining, such as
clustering, association mining, classification and prediction
The various application and current research areas in data mining, such as
Web and text mining, stream data mining.
