Learning Outcomes
The course gives an introduction to data mining and analysis of large datasets. For example, networks and databases involve massive amounts of data, and mining of useful information from data is an increasingly common challenge. By taking the course, the student learns the basic principles and terminology of data mining, knows the commonly used algorithms, and recognizes the typical challenges of processing large datasets. The course will introduce several application areas of data mining, including the principles of web search engines, recommendation systems, and web advertising.
