Course Description
Serving as an introduction to data mining algorithms and tools to solve engineering problems, this course emphasizes the knowledge discovery and mining of large scale datasets. This course is structured as a series of lectures and discussions that provide fundamental concepts and principles of knowledge discovery, computational intelligence, machine learning techniques, search mechanisms, statistical methods, probabilistic approaches, nearest neighbor and clustering methods, neural networks, kernel machines, genetic programming, hybrid intelligent systems, model validation and feature selection and ranking algorithms.

Please Note: Student participation is an essential part of the learning process; students will be expected to actively participate in the discussions.
Course Objective
After completion of this course, students will:
Define problems that can be solved by data mining and avoid common pitfalls
Collecting data for knowledge discovery and mining
Select key variables that help in building robust models
Build various models using data mining algorithms such as support vector machines, linear genetic programs, classification and regression trees, statistical methods, clustering methods, neural networks and hybrid methods
Validating the models
