Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques, Jiawei Han and Micheline Kamber, Morgan Kaufmann

Description:

As an introductory course on data mining, this course introduces the concepts, algorithms, techniques, and systems of data warehousing and data mining, including (1) data preprocessing, (2) design and implementation of data warehouse and OLAP systems, (3) systems, architectures and algorithms for effective and scalable data mining, including frequent pattern and correlation analysis, classification and cluster analysis. The course will serve mainly senior-level computer science undergraduate students and the first-year graduate students interested in the field. Also, the course may attract students from other disciplines who need to implement and/or use data warehouse and data mining systems to analyze large amounts of data. This course will draw materials mainly from the textbook. Students will study the materials and complete all the course requirements.

As everyone can see them, it is more likely to get quick response.  You are encouraged to answer or participate in the discussions for questions posted on the newsgroup.  However, there are obviously things that are not appropriate for the newsgroup, such as solutions for assignments as well as comments or requests to the staff.

Assignments/Projects: All assignments/projects are due at the beginning of class on the dates to be set by the instructor. A 10% penalty will be assessed for each calendar day of lateness. Assignments/projects handed in more than one week (seven days) late will not be accepted for credit. These assignments and projects should be done with your own efforts. All parties involved in copying a given assignment shall get grade divided by number of participants. You should spend at least three hours per week outside of class to complete the assignments.

Academic Honesty:

The specific actions in response to incidents of student dishonesty are inclusive of receiving a failing grade for an exam, quiz, assignment or the course, suspension or dismissal from college. I grades are given only if illness, hardship or any other extra ordinary circumstances preclude the completion of the course. An I grade must be arranged before the final examination.

Examination, quiz dates and assignment due dates will be announced in class. This syllabus may be subject to change.
