    • Learn how to mine your own data

      Today’s world generates more data than ever before! Being able to turn it into useful information is a key skill. This course introduces you to basic theoretical, as well as, practical data mining using the WEKA workbench. We’ll dispel the mystery that surrounds the subject. We’ll explain the theoretical principles of popular algorithms. We’ll show you how to use them in practical applications. You’ll get plenty of experience actually mining data during this course, and afterwards you’ll be well equipped to mine your own.

      WEKA originated at the University of Waikato in New Zealand. Its founder, prof. Ian H. Witten has authored a leading book on data mining. In this course you'll be using WEKA. More detailed information on presented algorithms and methods can be found in the book (see the Additional Readings section of this course).

      Please start this course by carefully reading both the General Course Information and the Course Syllabus.

      Have fun!
