Competencies and objectives
Course context for academic year 2026-27
La minería de datos (Data Mining) es el proceso de extracción de patrones en (grandes) conjuntos de datos, utilizando para ello métodos estadísticos, técnicas de aprendizaje automático y herramientas de bases de datos. Es una de las tareas fundamentales dentro del proceso de extracción de conocimiento a partir de datos (Knowledge Discovery in Databases - KDD). Su objetivo es analizar los datos para transformar la información en conocimiento. El proceso de minería de datos incluye tareas como la clasificación, la regresión, el agrupamiento (clustering), la identificación de reglas de asociación, la detección de anomalías (outliers) y la selección y extracción de características.
Learning outcomes / Course competencies (verified by ANECA in official undergraduate and Master’s degrees) for academic year 2026-27
Skills/Skills
- HAB1 : Know how to apply the knowledge acquired to solve real problems in new or multidisciplinary environments related to their area of study, and possess the necessary learning skills to continue studying in a self-directed and autonomous manner.
- HAB2 : Apply the knowledge acquired in data science to solve real problems, developing effectively in multidisciplinary and international contexts, managing available information and resources, and demonstrating computer and information skills specific to the field.
