392123 Introduction to Data mining (V) (WiSe 2023/2024)

Der Kurs deckt grundlegende Methoden des data mining, der explorativen Datenanalyse und der Visualisierung ab. Der Fokus liegt auf Anwendungen auf Bildungsdaten (sog. 'educational data mining' oder 'learning analytics'). Beispielmethoden sind:

• statistische Tests, insb. t-tests und signed rank test
• Principal Component Analysis
• k-Means Clustering
• Item Response Theory
• Bayesian Knowledge Tracing
• Variational Auto Encoders
