Data management and mining supply methods and technologies can be used to transform available data into the useful information and knowledge. Data management solves the data retrieval, transformation and structuring tasks. As a result the data is prepared for the analysis. Data mining solves the data analysis tasks, giving ability to find yet unknown relationships in data. Data mining results let enterprises take correct and wise decisions.

The course on the fundamentals of ontology in data mining is intended to provide information technology students with an insight into knowledge structures and their possible applications. The aim of the course is to inform about the approaches and tools that allow the acquisition, description, structuring and use of formally described and structured knowledge. It offers the opportunity to acquire the skills necessary for the creation and application of a knowledge base.

The course is devoted to the construction of artificial neural networks and includes the following sections: Biological neuron; Artificial neuron; Single layer perceptrons; Straightforward chain networks; Architecture; Learning procedures in single-layer and multi-layer networks; Backward chain networks; Adaptation procedures; Associative memory; Concurrent learning; Software; Neural network applications.

An important part of each research study is data and analysis of data in order to arrive at research conclusions and their justification. The activities within the study course examine a formalized intelligent technologies based data analysis process that includes the following steps: definition of a task, data acquisition and pre-processing, data analysis using machine learning / data mining / statistics methods, model assessment, determining biases of data and models, interpretation of results and visualization.

Our goal is to demystify AI. The Elements of AI is a series of free online courses created by Reaktor and the University of Helsinki. We want to encourage as broad a group of people as possible to learn what AI is, what can (and can’t) be done with AI, and how to start creating AI methods. The courses combine theory with practical exercises and can be completed at your own pace.
