Course Outline 2016 INFOSYS 722: Data Mining and Big Data (15 POINTS) Semester 2 (1165) Course Prescription Data mining and big data involves storing, processing, analysing and making sense of huge volumes of data extracted in many formats and from many sources. Using information systems frameworks and knowledge discovery concepts, this project-based and research oriented course uses latest published research and cutting-edge business intelligence tools for data analytics. Programme and Course Advice None Goals of the Course The primary objectives of the course are to: 1. Learn how to critically review literature in the area of business intelligence, big data, business data analytics, visualisation and relevant information systems architectures; 2. investigate links between big data, business data analytics and emerging technologies; 3. develop an understanding of the process of decision making; and 4. apply knowledge gained to design, implement and evaluate an information system – with reference to big data, data analytics and visualisation for an identified business case study; Learning Outcomes By the end of this course it is expected that the student will be able to: 1. critically read, discuss and write about published research; 2. develop a holistic research-based roadmap of the big data and business analytics fields; and 3. analyse, design and build an information system using emerging tools and technologies (including big data and business data analytics) for an identified business problem.

The learning in this course is student-centred. After the first two weeks during which time some of the important introductory papers in the field will be discussed, class meetings will have a seminar and workshop format, the success of which is heavily dependent on the active participation of the students.
