Intended learning outcomes:
When successfully completing this course, the students

  • comprehend the purpose of model induction from data
  • are familiar with the behaviour of simple learning algorithms on tabular static data and can apply them to derive models
  • comprehend the purpose, challenges and basic instruments for model evaluation
  • can evaluate models
  • comprehend the purpose of data engineering in preparation of data mining
  • are familiar with basic tasks of data engineering
and have thus acquired skills they need in order to design themselves learning algorithms, and to build workflows for model evaluation.

Content:

  • Underpinnings: basic forms of learning
  • BLOCK 1 - supervised: Classification algorithms and evaluation procedured
  • BLOCK 2 - unsupervised: Clustering algorithms and evaluation procedures
  • BLOCK Evaluation: more on model evaluation and model comparison
  • BLOCK Data Engineering: basic steps on engineering the data before they are input to the model learner

Overview of the book under https://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~kumar001/dmbook/index.php including slide collections etc To read the full textbook (electronic version): Find the ebook from the library here, follow the direct link, and log in -> Shibboleth login -> Otto-von-Guericke University -> Log in -> read. Note: Some slides come from the 1st edition. They concern content that did not change between the two editions. Book D: Data Preprocessing in Data Mining by Salvador Garcia, Julian Luengo and Fransisco Herrera, SPRINGER International Publishing Switzerland, 2015**** This book is used in the Block 'Data Engineering' (Block 'Data' for short). This book is available as pdfs from our library. The chapters of relevance are mentioned in the description of the course block.****

Comments:
This module is intended for students in low semesters of 4-semester-long master degrees and assumes a limited background in data science. It is not appropriate for students with a bachelor degree in data science.
