Data Warehousing and Machine Learning (Data Mining)


Spring 2002

What is Data Mining ?

Together, data warehousing and machine learning comprise what is known as data mining or knowledge discovery in databases (KDD). Data warehousing can be briefly described as creating a copy of transaction data specifically structured for query and analysis. Machine learning is concerned with computer programs that automatically improve their performance through experience.

A more detailed description of data mining and the contents of this course can be found in a PDF document (also available as a PostScript document).
