• Links to the practice session 1:
  • Quora discussion about example problems in Data mining (suggested by Anya). There are even some hints given on where to get data from and how to start analyzing it.
  • xkcd - machine learning and data mining humor in the form of comics.
  • WolframAlphaOnline - find this useful online tool for answering math and probability questions. It also knows the answer to the meaning of life question.
  • Milk video - youtube video about milk from the practice sessions.
  • Stackexchange - discussion on the difference between Data mining, Machine Learning, AI and statistics (I promised it to some of you).
• Links to the practice session 2:
  • Titanic Data
  • Solution to the exercise 6 (has to be tuned anyway)
• Links to the practice session 3:
  • Interestingness Measures for Association Patterns : A Perspective
  • Some insights about the measures of interestingness
