Mining of Massive Datasets

The course will discuss data mining algorithms for analyzing very large amounts of data. Vital challenges to be covered include similarity search, mining streaming data, and social network analysis.

Knowledge: Introduction to problems, principles, mechanisms, and techniques connected to mining large datasets. Skills: Similarity search, mining streaming data, social network analysis, synopses for massive data. Competence: Mining massive datasets.

Joint colloquium and self-study. Individual research project related to the topics studied in the course. If the course is taken by a high number of students, the oral examination may be replaced by a written examination.
