MODULE LEARNING OUTCOMES
1) DEMONSTRATE SYSTEMATIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY, DATA MINING CONCEPTS AND METHODOLOGIES, IN ORDER TO CRTICALLY IDENTIFY THE MOST SUITABLE DATA MODELLING FOR SOLVING SPECIFIC PROBLEMS IN THE CONTEXT OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT. (Knowledge and Understanding).
2) CRITICALLY INVESTIGATE AND IDENTIFY THE BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS AND DEVELOP A MODEL FOR DATA MINING APPLICATION. (Application)
3) SELECT THE MOST SUITABLE DATA MINING TECHNIQUES FOR SOLVING SPECIFIC PROBLEMS AND TO CRITICALLY EVALUATE THEIR STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS. (Problem Solving)
4) CRITICALLY ANALYSE THE SOCIETAL IMPACTS AND ETHICAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH DATA MINING. (Analysis)
