Abstract: We will cover a broad range of topics related to information search and knowledge discovery from relational data, text, and beyond. The focus is on the study of relational and post-relational data models and their query languages and systems. It will also introduce basic information retrieval and data mining concepts, principles and algorithms, including language model, text search, association analysis, sequential pattern analysis, classification, and clustering.
Prerequisites: basic understanding of relational databases, statistics, and know how to program.
Each student is expected to complete three homework assignments, one project, and a written final exam.
