JC3503: DATA MINING AND VISUALISATION (2023-2024)

Last modified: 23 Jul 2024 10:44


Course Overview

This course provides an introduction to machine learning and data mining. Students will learn how to analyse complex datasets by applying data pre-processing, exploration, clustering and classification, time-series analysis, neural networks, and many other techniques. This course is particularly suitable for those who are interested in working as data analysts or data scientists in the future.
