Data mining or the discovery of knowledge in large datasets has created a
lot of interest in the database and data engineering communities in recent
years. The tremendous increase in the generation and collection of data
has highlighted the urgent need for systems that can extract useful and
actionable knowledge from large datasets. This course will introduce the
data mining process; built theoretical and conceptual foundations of key
data mining tasks such as association rules mining, classification and
clustering; discuss analysis and implementation of algorithms; and
introduce major research sub-areas such as text mining and web mining.
Emphasis will be placed on the design and implementation of efficient and
scalable algorithms.
The students will get hands on experience through the implementation of
algorithms in programming exercises. Selected research papers will
discuss in class to supplement the textbook material.

Implement any data set to any data mining tools and generate results. We
assume that this will be a semester project of this course.
Every student is required to submit at least 01 written reports of typically
more than 25 pages and to make 01 oral presentations of typically 10
minutes duration. Include only material that is graded for grammar,
spelling, style, and so forth, as well as for technical content, completeness,
and accuracy.
