The teaching is organized as follows:

Learning objectives

The corse aims to provide the theoretical and practical foundations for integrating data from, possibly, heterogeneous sources and the subsequent phase of extraction of summary information/knowledge. By completing the course, the students will be able to tackle complex data mining problems by designing and implementing a full pipeline that allows its user to integrate the necessary data sources, select and apply the adequate data mining techniques for solving a specific data mining problem, and evaluate its performances. Given a data mining problem, coming from a real-world domain ranging from industry to healthcare, the course enables the students to design, apply and test original solutions or or modifications of existing ones, for solving it and evaluate the feasibility of the proposed solution in a real environment.
