At the end of the module, students will be able to implement the complete data mining life cycle focusing on thematic applications in life science. Students will be able to perform exploratory data analysis on big data, perform feature engineering, identify and implement model (perform training and evaluation) and deployment of the model.
Indicative Module Content:Covering fundamental concepts of data mining including databases / data sources, various state-of-the-art techniques and applications as well as relevant statistical methods. Practical issues such as handling noisy and incomplete data and integration of various data sources to uncover new knowledge will be presented using real-world datasets running on industry adopted platforms.
Demonstration of real applications will enable students to employ appropriate data mining process to uncover meaningful discoveries / understanding using a wide array of heterogeneous data sources.
