Data Mining studies algorithms and computational paradigms that allow computers to find patterns and regularities in databases, perform prediction and
forecasting, and generally improve their performance through interaction with data. It is currently regarded as the key element of a more general process called
Knowledge Discovery that deals with extracting useful knowledge from raw data.
The knowledge discovery process includes data selection, cleaning, coding, using
different statistical and machine learning techniques, and visualization of the generated structures. The course will cover all these issues and will illustrate the whole
process by examples. Special emphasis will be give to the Machine Learning methods as they provide the real knowledge discovery tools. Important related
technologies, as data warehousing and on-line analytical processing (OLAP) will be also discussed. The students will use recent Data Mining software.
Very rarely is data easily accessible in a data science project. It’s more likely for the data to be in a file, a database, or extracted from documents such as web pages, tweets, or PDFs. In these cases, the first step is to import the data and tidy the data using a software program. The steps that convert data from its raw form to the tidy form is called data wrangling.
This process is a critical step for any data mining person or scientist. Knowing how to wrangle and clean data will enable you to make critical insights that would otherwise be hidden.
