Business Intelligentization Using Machine Learning and Rapidminer

Machine Learning (ML) operates on the basis of algorithms that enable computers to learn, mostly from data. ML algorithms attempt to be trained directly by data samples without relying vastly on a predetermined design and coding. ML systems can also adapt to the new situation and enhance their performance over the time. The course will introduce some of the algorithms in the field of ML, such as neural networks, deep learning, support vector machines, K nearest neighbours, and c-means clustering to name but a few. Rapidminer is a popular data mining and machine learning software platform that provides an integrated environment for realization of almost all known machine learning algorithms, and is accessible to the public as a free desktop application. Organisations can leverage on Rapidminer for many real-world ML applications including data preparation, results visualisation, model validation and optimisation.
