Data Mining Training – Boot Camp Style

Data Mining Training Bootcamp is the answer to your data mining needs from current to next generation applications, strategies, technologies, and methods. Our mission is to clarify highly complex data mining technical standards and topics.

Combining data mining, big data, statistics, data visualization, machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence this bootcamp will give you a sophisticated understanding of how to use of data, mining and quantitative techniques to help your organization improve its processes. You’ll understand the science behind the data mining  because the interdisciplinary coursework focuses on analysis, data structures and domain knowledge.

Data mining is the process of analyzing a data set to find insights and patterns. After the data is collected in a data warehouse, the data mining process begins to clean the data of incomplete records to creating visualizations of findings.

Data mining is usually associated with the analysis of the large data sets present in the fields of big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Learn about the process for patterns, anomalies and associations in the data with the goal of extracting value.
