Course Description
Data mining concerns the steps needed to discover insights (e.g., identify patterns) from the collected data. Given the extensive data graduate students face in their studies, students need to understand the concepts of data mining techniques to process and analyze such massive data. This course (INF3107H – Mining Information Systems) provides an overview of the data mining pipeline. The course also provides an overview and hands-on skills in conducting research enabled by AI techniques (i.e., AI-powered research) to gain insights from data. The course also guides students through a complete journey of data mining steps (starting from data collection until presenting the obtained results) in real projects.
This course fulfills the “Research Methods and Design” area of the PhD curriculum.
