Kurzfassung:

The course introduces to the topic of data mining and machine learning. It presents various different methods of data mining and machine learning, compares them, and shows their applications.

Lernziele:

The students will be enabled to understand, reflect, and apply different methods and techniques in the areas of data mining and machine learning. The students will be able to explain the difference and commonalities of data mining and machine learning. The students will be empowered to decide which method to apply to what kind of problem.

Lehrinhalte:

An introduction to the topic is conducted by giving an overview of the methods in data mining and machine learning. The commonalities and the differences between data mining and machine learning will be explained and discussed. Subsequently different selected methods in data mining and machine learning will be presented. In addition to the theoretical knowledge, some real-world examples of where the methods are appllied will be presented.

The course covers among others:

• Introduction to knowledge discovery and outline of the problem
• Clustering of data (flat / hierarchical)
• Learning of associatons from data (basic / extensions)
• Formal concept analysis
• Classification of data
• Schema induction from data
