78910 - Project Work On Data Mining M

Learning outcomes

At the end of the activity the students are able to apply the notions and skills acquired in the data mining course to design a data mining activity or a new data mining algorithm for a specific task.

Course contents

Three possible tracks:

1. A scientific paper is considered as the base for the development of a new data mining algortihm. The software engineering best practices have to be used to include the project into an open-source framework.
2. An innovative software/tool is chosen for experiments and tests on given datasets.
3. The professor assigns a dataset and a mining task to be developed on it.

Readings/Bibliography

Scientific papers and documentation provided by the teacher

Teaching methods

Assignment of a project work, to be developed individually or by a very small group; tutoring will be available on demand.

Assessment methods

Presentation with powerpoint/pdf and live demo of the software.

Evaluation of the delivered software, which must include:

• short report (in English)
• installation instructions
  
• quality of the code
• quality of the documentation (in English)
• reference to the test data
