[APA] Web Mining

In this assignment, you need to complete a survey paper on Data Mining (DM) and Data Warehousing (DW). The major objective of this assignment is to get yourself familiar with the online resources related to DM/DW.

• Topic: In this assignment, you need to select a topic of interest for your survey paper. The topic can be a specific DM/DW technique, such as classification & predication, association rule generation, clustering, and text mining. Alternatively, it can be a specific DM/DW application, such as customer behavior analysis, recommendation system for e-commerce, market trend analysis, link prediction for social networks, spam filtering, fraud detection, intrusion detection, web usage analysis, and medical/biological applications. Here is a list of DM applications from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Examples_of_data_min…
  
• References: You should find at least three references that are closely related to your selected topic. The references should be properly cited in the survey paper. Note that a reference can be a journal/conference paper, a book, a case study from a company’s web site, or a press release. The only requirement is that each reference should provide adequate information about the problem to be tackled and the proposed solution.
• Structure: Your survey paper should include the following components:
  a) A cover page that includes the title of your survey, your name, and your banner ID.
  b) Problem description
  c) Proposed solution (or solutions)
  d) Performance of proposed solution (or solutions)
  e) Your comments on the solution (or solutions)
  f) List of References
• Format: The detailed requirements can be found below:
  a) Line spacing: single space
  b) Font size: 11 or smaller
  c) Column per page: single-column or double-column
  d) Paper length: 3-4 pages (if you really need one extra page, a 5-page survey paper is also allowed). Namely, with the cover page, there should be 4-5 pages.
• Online Resources: Here is a list of example online resources (note that, with Google, you can find more information): Academic resources: A slide that summarizes the major journals/conferences on DM/DW will be made available in brightspace. Research papers on DM/DW can be found in IEEE Xplore Digital Library, ACM Digital Library, and other online libraries. Wikipedia
• Example Survey Paper: An example survey paper will be made available in brightspace. It is used to give you an idea of the structure of a scientific survey paper. Your survey paper does not have to be as long as the example paper
