Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will be hybrid, we will give the lecture in a physical classroom (as long as possible), but will record each lecture and make them accessible online via Moodle.
The lecture covers essential topics in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Databases (KDD) and focuses on recent research topics in clustering, graph mining, submodularity and causal inference.
Subject specific goals:
- Analysis and interpretation of scientific data
- Evaluate results of the analysis process
- Implementation of scalable solutions for huge amounts of data
- Users support and advice
- Extraction of causal patterns from the data
Generic goals:
- Teamwork
- Improvement of programming skills
- Understanding of interplay in Data Mining and other disciplines

Important: We will hold the first lecture online on Thursday 01.10. at 08:00 o'clock. You should not come to the class room.
