Summary
The course is focused on basic approaches, methods, and algorithms for data mining and network analysis so that it can be applied to the individual work of students in labs. Exercises will provide space for discussion of problems, demonstration of practical tasks and practice on simple assignments.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The course provides basic information about methods used for data mining and network analysis. Students will gain knowledge and skills necessary for further development in this area and the ability to apply them to simple problems. They will be able to assess the applicability of methods for different types of data and evaluate the outcomes of the application of the used methods.
