Introduction
This course provides a quick introduction to the exciting frontiers of big data analytics and data mining. The focus is on the essential concepts and techniques, the fundamental principles, as well as some active research topics. The audience is assumed to be solid in the popular discrete mathematics (including basics in set theory, abstract algebra, logics, and graph theory), algorithm analysis and design, and basic probability and statistics. C++ or Java programming is expected. Basic understanding of data mining, such as a quick scan of the textbook, would be helpful, though the course itself is self-contained and the basic concepts will be reviewed before the advanced topics are discussed.
The format of the course is a combination of lectures and classroom discussion. It is a 5 day course, 3 hours every morning and 2 hours every afternoon. In general, lectures on basic concepts and principles will be presented in the mornings, while advanced topics and research directions will be discussed in the afternoons. The tentative schedule is as follows, which is subject to change without notice. The course components may also be customized according to audiences interest.
Schedule
| May 5th | Morning – Introduction (big data, data mining, data analytics, and applications) – Cloud computing Afternoon – MapReduce basics |
| May 6th | Morning – Multidimensional data analysis, data warehousing, business intelligence Afternoon – Advanced topic: multidimensional analysis on complex data and big data |
| May 7th | Morning – Frequent pattern mining Afternoon – Advanced topic: advanced frequent pattern mining and applications |
| May 8th | Morning – Classification Afternoon – Advanced topic: advanced classification methods, predictive analytics |
| May 9th | Morning – Clustering analysis Afternoon – Advanced topics: Case study: data mining in healthcare informatics, crowdsourcing |
