Welcome to CPS 4721, 5721 (Data Mining)
Starting in Spring 2025, CPS 4721 (Data Mining Principles) will no longer be co-listed with CPS 5721 (Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining). From that point forward, CPS 4721 will have distinct materials, assignments, and exams separate from CPS 5721. CPS 4721 will foucs on basic data mining, while CPS 5721 will focus more on advanced data mining.
Students who take CPS 4721 in Spring 2025 will be eligible to take CPS 5721 in Spring 2026. However, students who took CPS 4721 in Spring 2024 cannot take CPS 5721 in Spring 2025, as the two courses were co-listed at that time and shared the same teaching content and exams.
Data Science is becoming one of the important areas in computer science and data mining is the core of this new era. In this course, you will learn about data warehousing, data mining concepts, supervised and unsupervised techniques, and automated analytics as well as obtain hands-on experiences. This course emphasizes data analytics, development, and automation, which means a lot of programming.
Click CPS 4721 Data Mining Principles for more details. This course is only available in the spring semester.
CPS 4721 is a required course of B.S. Computer Science (Data Science Option).
Click CPS 5721 Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining for more details. This course is only available in the spring semester.
If you don't enjoy coding, please do NOT take CPS 4721 or CPS 5721.
Students interested in Data Science are encouraged to take CPS 4745 (Visualization Design and Development) for undergraduate students, or CPS 5745 (Data Analytics and Visualization) for gradaute students during the spring semester.
