CSC 8740 - Advanced Data Mining

4 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: CSC 6710 and CSC 6740 with a B or better grade.
Description
Advanced concepts in data mining: sequence data analysis, time-series data classification and forecasting (with usage of dynamic time warping and kNN classifiers), high-dimensional data analysis (with applications to high-dimensional data indexing), and emerging area of spatio-temporal patterns discovery. The lectures will provide students with sufficient foundation to conduct their own, but supervised research on the challenges of mining unconventional data (e.g. image, time-series, or spatiotemporal data) from massive real-life data repositories.
