Data mining is the science of extracting hidden information from large datasets. This course offers clear and comprehensive introduction to both data mining theory and Practice. All major data mining techniques will be dealt with and how to apply these techniques in real problems are explained through case studies.

Introduce the fundamental concepts of data and data analysis
Case based study of specific data mining tasks like Clustering, Classification, Regression, Pattern Discovery and Retrieval by Content.
Introduce algorithms for temporal data mining and spatial data mining.
