        Recent times have seen a massive growth in the raw data that is available
        electronically. Data mining is the automatic discovery of interesting
        patterns and relationships in massive data sets. This undergraduate course
        will provide an introduction to the topic of data mining. Areas covered
        include topics from "supervised learning" (regression, classification)
        and "unsupervised learning" (clustering, data visualization, principal
        components analysis, matrix factorizations). Basic concepts, representative
        algorithms and evaluation techniques will be covered.

        Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of linear algebra, probability, programming,
        data structures, and algorithms.
