Project Proposals due: Friday Feb 22 11:59pm
Final Reports due: Friday Mar 21 11:59pm
Projects are intended to give students the opportunity to explore ideas or
directions in Data Mining that we cover in class (e.g., data generalization, association mining,
classification and prediction, clustering and outlier analysis), to discover interesting pattern and knowledge from available application data sets (e.g., web data, biomedical data, network data, social network, e-commence data and retail data).
Project work will include a 15 minute presentation (in the final week, Wednesday, Mar 19, 3:15pm -- 5:15pm) and
a 8 page research paper for all students, submitted as final reports.
Project proposals are to be 5 pages in length and will include a definition of the direction, the particular problem to be considered in that direction, and a list of several references that will support the project. The bottom of course web page has some useful links for finding a project and existing data mining softwares. If you find nothing interesting, please talk with the instructor. The Advanced Integration and Mining Lab has several ongoing data mining research projects.
Students should plan on either extending software from class, developing new software, or downloading and experimenting with existing software. The projects will be expected to be individual work.
Your final paper and presentation should clarify the following issues:
