Syllabus Instructor Department & Class Deng-yiv Chiu Department of Information Management (Master Degree) Course Name Credit Elective 3 Data mining Data mining is the process of discovering new patterns from large data sets. This course is aimed at introducing the concepts of data mining and its application. Course Description Through this course, the student will understand how to exact useful information from massive data. Also, the critical data mining techniques will be introduced, such as classification, cluster, association analysis etc. This course aims to raise the student’s interest in data mining. Therefore, the course materials include fundamental, advanced and diverse complemented course materials. Also, various data mining application software will be introduced. Learning Goals Course Materials References Therefore, the student will understand the theories of data mining. The student will learn how to utilize the application software of data mining: Cluster 3.0, Answer Tree, CAFÉ, Libsvm, Gene Hunter, XLMiner and MATLAB etc. There are many research and literature related to data mining. Therefore, the student needs to study a lot of paper to understand the emerging data mining techniques. It will help the student to utilize the data mining techniques in his/her own research. 1.Pang-Ning Tan, Michael Steinbach, Vipin Kumar (2006), Introduction to Data Mining: International Edition, PEARSON, ISBN: 0-321-42052-7 2.Data Mining; Author: Ian H.
