Overview
It becomes increasingly critical to mine high-quality information from the data. The mined patterns from data are import for many applications, including business intelligence, information acquisition, behavior analysis and decision making. In this course, we will cover several important topics in data mining including: classification, regression, and clustering. We will also provide opportunities to gain hands-on experience of handling large-scale data set.
