Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide an overview for pattern discovery in the field of data mining and knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) from both a theoretical and practical point of view. This course includes data mining algorithms and techniques for the discovery of classes, clusters, association rules and abnormalies.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Describe basic data mining concepts
2   Make data preprocessing operations
3   Solve a particular problem by data mining approaches (classification, clustering, association rule mining etc.)
4   Apply data mining techniques on given dataset
5   Develop a solution for subtopics of data mining (web mining, text mining)
