CSC 297/577 Intro to Data mining (Fall 2012)
Fundamental concepts and techniques of data mining, including data attributes, data visualization, data pre-processing, mining frequent patterns, association and correlation, classification methods, and cluster analysis. Advanced topics include outlier detection, stream mining, and social media data mining. CSC 577, a graduate-level course, requires additional readings and a course project.
