Students will learn how to build a complete (albeit rudimentary) machine-learning environment. This includes training predictive models based on live data or live data exports, delivering the predictions to clients, then recording the new client behaviors that are used to retrain the predictive models. The course content is structured to walk students through the data mining process in its natural order as documented by the Cross-Industry Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM), beginning with identifying the unstructured business problem to be solved or goal to be met. For example, a client might ask the questions: How do we help consumers find our products easier/faster/more efficiently? Are we offering the right products to our consumers? Who is buying our products and why?
