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.

Data Mining defines a process of mining potentially useful information from data. In most cases it is defined as knowledge discovery from large databases. Data Mining is a technology, which unites traditional data analysis methods with modern algorithms in order to process large amounts of data. This brings a wide range of possibilities for studying and analyzing new and existent types of data, applying new methods.
