Data Mining

Data Mining is concerned with efficiently extracting statistics, patterns, structures, or meanings from raw data. This task becomes hard when the amount of data is large, which is often the case in modern data sets. This course will survey modern algorithms, concepts, and data structures common to data mining in large data sets. We will try to cover, among other topics: data sampling, finding causal relations and frequent item sets, counting in data streams, ranking and sorting, approximating large matrix operations, dimensionality reduction and efficient searching in high dimensions. We will also discuss modern cluster architectures and computational models.

I recommend that students be familiar with probability theory, basic combinatorics, linear algebra, basic complexity theory, and traditional data structures, at least on at introductory level. The class will attempt to be self contained nonetheless.
