Enterprises, organizations and individuals are 
creating, collecting, and using massive amount 
of structured and unstructured data with the 
goal to convert the information into knowledge, 
to improve the quality and the efficiency of their 
decision-making process, and to better position 
themselves to the highly competitive marketplace. 
Data mining is the process of finding, extracting, 
visualizing and reporting useful information and 
insights from both small and large datasets with 
the help of sophisticated data analysis methods. 
It is part of the business analytics, which refers 
to the process of leveraging different forms of 
analytical techniques to achieve desired business 
outcomes through requiring business relevancy, 
actionable insight, performance management, and 
value management. The students in this course will
