Course Description:

This unit introduces students to a range of tools, techniques and technologies for
acquiring data and processing this into meaningful information that can be used to
support business functions and processes

Learning Outcomes (LO) Assessment

LO1 Discuss the historical and theoretical

foundation of data mining, its scope, techniques,
and processes.

LO2 Investigate a range of data mining

techniques to discover patterns and
relationships in large data sets .

LO3 Illustrate how a data mining algorithm

performs text mining to identify relationships
within text.

L04 Evaluate a range of graph data mining

techniques that recognise patterns and
relationships in graph-based technologies.
