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 libraries on realistic data sets. The team projects take place in the last third of the term. Within the projects, groups of 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 HWS2023 will take place on Thursday, February 29th 2024.
You have to register for the exam review by writing a mail to Bianca Lermer until Sunday, February 25th 2024. We will then allocate a time slot for the review to you.
