Outline
Aims
The aims of this module are to:
- introduce some of the fundamental techniques and principles of statistical pattern analysis and data mining
- investigate some common text and high-dimensional data mining algorithms and their applications
- present the fields of data mining and pattern analysis in the larger context of learning systems
