Outline of lecture

This lecture covers many of the important techniques of machine learning (ML) and data mining (DM), such as decision tree learning, classification rule learning, association rule learning, Bayesian learning, regressions, instance-based learning, and clustering.

Purpose of lecture

The goal of this lecture is to learn basic data mining methods using Weka (a data mining tool).

Plan of lecture

1. Machine Learning and Data Mining, Weka
2. Concept descriptions, applications
3. Concept space, bias
4. Input data format, classification, association
5. Clustering, numerical prediction
6. Types of attributes and their transformations
7. Knowledge representation, decision trees, classification rules
8. Association rules, instance-based representation, clusters
9. Basic learning algorithms, Naive Bayes
10. Decision trees, information gain, gain ratio
11. Covering algorithms, rules and decision trees
12. Evaluation of learning, cross validation
13. t-statistic, minimum description length
14. Summary
