Data Mining Foundations and Practice

University of Colorado Boulder

The Data Mining Foundations and Practice specialization offered by the University of Colorado Boulder is designed for data science professionals and domain experts seeking to master fundamental concepts and core techniques for discovering patterns in large-scale data sets.

The specialization consists of three courses:

  1. Data Mining Pipeline: Introduces key steps of data understanding, preprocessing, warehousing.
  2. Data Mining Methods: Covers frequent pattern analysis, classification, clustering, and outlier detection.
  3. Data Mining Project: Offers guidance and hands-on experience in designing and implementing real-world data mining projects.

Throughout the specialization, participants will learn to identify the key components of the data mining pipeline, apply techniques to address challenges, and evaluate data modeling techniques suitable for specific tasks. They will also gain the ability to design and develop real-world solutions across the full data mining pipeline, summarize and present key findings, and analyze the overall project process to identify possible improvements.
