In “Data Mining in Python,” you will learn how to extract useful knowledge from large-scale datasets. This course introduces basic concepts and general tasks for data mining. You will explore a wide range of real-world data sets, including grocery store, restaurant reviews, business operations, social media posts, and more.
You will learn how to formally describe real-world information with general data representations (e.g., itemsets, vectors, matrices, sequences, and more). You will then learn how to formulate data in the wild with one or more of these representations.
This course will teach you how to characterize and explain your data by looking for patterns and similarities, which are basic building blocks for advanced analysis and machine learning models.
This is the first course in “More Applied Data Science with Python,” a four-course series focused on helping you apply advanced data science techniques using Python. It is recommended that all learners complete the Applied Data Science with Python specialization prior to beginning this course.
Welcome to Module 1—an Introduction to Data Mining! We will begin this module with an introduction to the basic concepts, views, and tasks of data mining. We will focus on how to formulate real world information as different data representations (e.g., itemsets, vectors, sequences, time series, networks, data streams, etc.). Then, we will elaborate on two basic functionalities of data mining: patterns and similarity. We will learn how they can be used to build more complex data mining tasks. Let’s get started!

Welcome to Module 2—Mining Itemset Data! In this module, we will learn how to represent data as itemsets and the basic data mining operations with itemset data. We will focus on how to extract frequent patterns from a collection of itemsets, how to evaluate the interestingness of itemset patterns, and how to compute Jaccard similarity between two itemsets. Let’s get started!

Welcome to Module 4—Mining Sequences, our last course module!! We will conclude our course by learning how to represent data as sequences. We will focus on commonly used sequential patterns (ngrams and skipgrams), distance measures for sequence data (Edit Distance and Shingling), and how they can be applied to real world tasks. Let’s get started!

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
