Choose any of the topics and answer the following:Topic 1: Introduction into data mining concepts. We focus on the importance of data algorithms and how different methods can derive different results. Objectives:
- Define the importance of understanding the differences in different data algorithms and the output variance.
- Explain how different output can occur when managing different data algorithms.
- Comprehend the various motivating challenges with data mining.
- Understand how data mining integrates with the various components of statistics, AL, ML, and Pattern Recognition.
- Explain the difference between predictive and descriptive tasks and the importance of each.
Topic 2: A use case on traditional data collection methods and the downfalls. We also discuss data attributes and classification this week. Objectives:
- Comprehend the traditional methods of data collection and the challenges of traditional methods compared to automated methods.
- Discuss the concepts of optimization and performance measurement in a real-world example.
- Understand the key components of attributes including the different types and the importance of each.
- Explain the difference between discrete and continuous data.
- Compare the pitfalls and benefits of model selection and evaluation.
- Explain the concepts in data classification.
Topic 3: Various types of classifiers used in data mining. We also utilize a real-world example and discuss how opinion mining is used in information retrieval and is used with NLP techniques. Objectives:
- Define the various types of classifiers.
- Understand the key components to logic regression.
- Compare and contrast nearest neighbor and naïve Bayes classifiers.
- Discuss a real-world example on opinion mining and how it is used in information retrieval.
- Explain the various components and techniques of opinion mining and the importance to transforming an organizations NLP framework.
