This course will cover recent developments in some key areas of data mining preparing students for research work in these areas. A lecture-discussion format will be followed where topics are introduced and techniques critically discussed. The instructor will introduce major topics. Subsequently, students will be required to lead discussion on key papers in the topic area. Students will be expected to read before coming to class and participate in the discussions. Emphasis will be placed on the design and implementation of efficient and scalable algorithms for data mining. The course project will require students to research, design, implement, and present their solution to a data mining problem. For details, please see the course outline.
