The course provides an introduction to advanced data analysis techniques as a basis for analyzing business data and providing input for decision support systems. The course will cover the following topics:
The course consists of a lecture together with accompanying practical exercises as well as student team projects. In the exercises the participants will gather initial expertise in applying state of the art data mining tools on realistic data sets. The team projects take place in the last third of the term. Within the projects, students realize more sophisticated data mining projects of personal choice and report about the results of their projects in the form of a written report as well as an oral presentation.
The exam review for the exam of FSS2019 will take place on Friday, 27 September, 14:00, building B6, 26 room C1.01 (use the blue door and go to the first floor). There is no second exam for FSS2019. The next oportunity to retake the project and exam is in HWS2019.
Note: there are three parallel exercise groups, you are supposed to only attend one.
The lecture slide sets and exercises will be published here every week.
