Overview: The main purpose of this course is to introduce the basic ideas of data mining algorithms and also of their scalability for Big Data situations. Relatively simple classifier and clustering algorithms are presented and analyzed in detail. Basic ideas of Map-Reduce algorithms for asynchronous computing in the cloud/Hadoop environments are introduced. How the simple data mining algorithms need to be redesigned for the Map-Reduce environment is presented and analyzed.

Objectives:  The objectives of this course are to impart knowledge and understanding of the following topics to the participants:

  1. Details of the decision tree induction algorithms and various issues related to their outcomes and performance.
  2. Details of association rule mining algorithms and various issues related to their outcomes and performance.
  3. Sequential and partitional clustering algorithms.
  4. Basics of the Map-Reduce paradigm for designing algorithms, and will apply this paradigm to redesign the decision tree and association rule induction algorithms.

Every session will be followed by lab and practice assignments. (Matlab and R programming)
