Advanced Database Systems F24DS2/F29AT2

• The slides on data quality and data cleaning: (lectures on Monday 27th Feb 2006): ADB_DC1.ppt ; and ADB_DC2.ppt
• The slides on data mining: (lectures on Monday March 6th 2006): ADB_DM1.ppt ; and ADB_DM2.ppt
• The classic paper on the Apriori algorithm: pdf
• A page of links to various tutorials related to data mining algorithms: here
• A tutorial on high performance data mining: pdf
• A tutorial on rule induction: pdf
• A survey of evolutionary algorithms in data mining freitas01survey.pdf
• The UCI Repository is an excellent source of many interesting datasets that are used for testing various new and old ideas for data mining algorithms.
• If you want to do an MSc project on data mining with me, I would like projects that investigated evolutionary algorithms (see this rough primer ) for evolving interesting rules. E.g. a good project could be to investigate variants of the type of algorithm discussed in the survey by Freitas (see above) on test data from the UCI repository (see above).
