In this module, you will learn about data mining, why we need it, and the approach. The module also presents the basics of probability and statistics, which form the foundation for data mining. You will also gain insight into data preprocessing and data mining task identification.

In this module, you will learn about Python programming for data mining. The module also discusses important Python modules: NumPy , SciPy, and Matplotlib. You will learn to install Python using Anaconda and use the Jupyter notebook to write your code. The module also presents some examples demonstrating data preprocessing using Python.

In this module, you will learn about supervised learning (learning from examples). The module discusses two supervised learning tasks: regression and classification. You will also gain insights into several classification algorithms such as Bayesian classifiers, decision trees, support vector machines (SVM), and ensemble classifiers.

In this module, you will learn about unsupervised learning (learning from unlabelled data without any ground truth labels). The module also discusses frequent itemset mining. You will also gain an insight into several data clustering algorithms such as distribution-based, partitional, and hierarchical clustering.

In this module, you will learn about anomaly detection problems and algorithms. You will gain insight into anomaly detection techniques. You will learn to validate your results. When applying data mining to smart city data, you will also learn to avoid false discoveries using statistical significance testing and hypothesis testing.

In this module, you will learn about some advanced data mining algorithms such as artificial neural networks (ANN) and deep learning. You will develop an understanding of the applications of these algorithms. The module also analyzes hidden Markov models (HMMs) for modeling time series (sequential) data.

In this module, you are provided with your term-end project, instructions to complete the project, and the criteria for how your instructor will grade your submission.
