Course description and aims

This course introduces basic knowledge of machine learning and data mining.

Student learning outcomes

[Goal] The goal of this course is to learn basic concepts and methods (such as classification, association, clustering and numeric prediction) for mining huge data observed in real world. Basic concepts and methods in machine learning and data mining are explained, and tools for promoting understanding are also introduced in this course.
[Theme] The following themes are mainly explained: input and output data formats for machine learning, machine learning algorithms, evaluation methods for learning algorithms, and methods for handling missing / noisy data in real world.

Keywords

attribute, instance, bias, overfitting, missing value, exception, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, decision tree, information gain, pruning, classification, naïve bayes, association rule, apriori algorithm, numeric prediction, regression, instance-based learning, clustering, k-means algorithm, hierarchical clustering, support, confidence, cross-validation, bootstrap, significance test, confusion matrix, ROC curve, MDL principle, support vector machine, EM algorithm

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills
