Instruction will be in-classroom, but I’ll make the best effort to be available online for anyone who has questions outside of lectures.

This week, we’ll be learning about market basket analysis, which is a rule-based approach to mining transactional data. The main topics this week will be to learn about frequent itemsets and association rules. Market basket analysis are pivotol techniques used by retailers to uncover associations between items. The hypothesis is that combinations of items that occur together frequently in transactions data form relationships that we can exploit.

  • Please note that our lectures will now occur in Room 912/913 and not Room 1010.

  • Our teams channel is now active.

  • Our class e-mail is cs6220-class@ccs.neu.edu. This will e-mail the enrolled students in CS6220 as they appear on Canvas and Khoury enrollment.

  • Our staff e-mail is cs6220-staff@ccs.neu.edu. This will e-mail instructor and teaching assistant as they appear on Canvas and Khoury enrollment.

Looking forward to the semester. Homework 1 is out and released as are the lecture notes.
