Course Description

This course is led by the University of Waikato, where Weka was born. It will teach you advanced data mining skills and techniques. You'll be able to process a 10 million-instance dataset and mine a 250,000 word text dataset. This course follows the Data Mining with Weka first course. Analyzing a supermarket dataset with 5000 shopping carts will help you to understand how to filter data, select attributes, clustering, association rules and cost-sensitive evaluation. Learn how to optimize learning parameters and learn curves. You can preview some of the course steps here before you sign up.
