Course Description

This course provides an in-depth examination of data mining and knowledge acquisition within the broader scope of Business Intelligence (BI). It covers theoretical foundations, emerging research trends, and advanced methodologies for extracting meaningful insights from complex organizational data. Students will explore data warehousing, preprocessing, classification, clustering, and algorithmic analysis while critically evaluating BI and DM models from both technical and managerial perspectives. Emphasis is placed on applying BI frameworks to strategic decision-making and organizational performance. Through paper discussions, case studies, and project-based research, students will enhance their ability to design and implement advanced data mining workflows while developing scholarly communication and analytical reasoning skills.
