Databases and Data Mining, Fall 2005
MSc Bio Informatics, Leiden University and TU Delft
On this page you can find information regarding the data mining part of the course databases and data mining for the MSc Bioinformatics offered by LIACS, Leiden University and TU Delft.
Goal
The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to the basics of data mining and gain a primary understanding of the potential for applying it in the bioinformatics domain.
Format
The course will be a mix of lectures (4) to introduce data mining concepts and lab sessions (2) to gain some hands on experience.
Grading
This data mining part will constitute 50% of the overall grade for the databases and data mining course. You will need to turn in the assignments for the second lab session; these assignments will contain questions about the lectures as well as hands on exercises. In addition, I will hand out a take home exercise (paper on bioinformatics data mining research) in the final class.
