Certificate in Data Mining & Business Intelligence

Course Overview

Business intelligence is a collection of tools, techniques and approaches which includes data mining, data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks, data visualisation, deep learning and others that identify the sources of data, discern patterns, associations, clusters and relationships in the data to turn data into meaningful information. That information can be used to produce the answers to big questions, diagnose and solve difficult or impossible problems, and even predict the future.

This course explores the various forms and architecture of business intelligence and how business intelligence and its associated technologies are used to help organisations make operational and strategic decisions. The course also introduces data mining, as it is used to support business intelligence through analysing vast amounts of data to produce information and recommendations by application of association rules, K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) analysis, clustering, and Market Basket Analysis.
