INF 534 Data Mining and Exploration

Department: MSc Cybersecurity Science and Applications / MSc in Informatics

Module Description: Data mining is about analyzing, interpreting, visualizing and exploiting the data that is captured scientific and commercial environments. This module provides students with an opportunity to gain an in depth understanding of the theories and issues related to mining and exploring data, ranging from statistical summaries, to visualization, to classification and clustering. Practical case studies will be used for illustration.
