TIES4450 Data Mining and Machine Learning (5 cr)

The course introduces the methods of data mining for large and incomplete data masses. The course starts with the basic concepts, definitions and challenges related to the development and application of data mining methods. Learn about the various stages of the process of knowledge search (KDD) and the methods applied in them. The methods used for different types of data mining problems are reviewed. Get acquainted with the application of methods in practical materials. Exercises and project work are done using Matlab software.

Understanding of the main machine learning / data mining methods and algorithms; knowledge of the basic concepts related to the overall knowledge discovery process

Basic programming skills and knowledge of mathematical and algorithmic concepts are required.
