课程评价
spContent=The motivation for this course rooted from the development of information techniques. The amount of traffic data collected is growing at an increasing rate. At the same time, the users of these datum are expecting more sophisticated analysis of these large data sets. The area of data mining has developed over the last decade to address this problem. Data mining is one of the popular fields in computer science, and particularly relative to intelligent transportation system. It can be very helpful for traffic researchers and managers to solve traffic problems. Data mining is a good field to study not only for computer science students, but also for transportation students, because the same techniques can be used to solve many traffic problems that may arise during their career in the future.

课程概述

Data Mining is often defined as discovering useful but hidden patterns or relationships in a database, which is one of the popualr fields in computer science. Finding patterns, trends, and outliers in these datasets, and summarizing them with simple quantitative models, are one of the grand challenges of the information age—turning data into knowledge. 

Data mining programs are intended to search through datum for hidden relationships and patterns in the datasets. This approach is particularly relative to intelligent transportation system. It can be very helpful for traffic researchers and managers to solve traffic problems. 

This course provides an introduction to data mining as applied to transportation systems. It intends to cover the basic concepts of data mining as well as specific applications to transportation systems.

授课目标

The objectives of the course are to present the basic concepts of data mining, the principles and ideas underlying the practice of data mining, including data preprocess,  instance based learning, decision tree, support vector machine, outlier mining, and ensemble learning. 

After completing this course, students will have the ability to understand the fundamental terms and concepts of data mining, and to use the methods taught in class for the analysis and processing of real transportation data.
