Now that I have finished Data to Insight on Futurelearn, I have decided to continue learning about AI and data mining. Futurelearn offers a ‘program’ which consists of three courses – Data mining with Weka, Advanced data mining with Weka and More data mining with Weka. The first two courses are already available, the third one starts in September. All of them use Weka which is a collection of machine learning algorithms and is freely available on Sourceforge. The first week of the initial course gives an overview of Weka and is quite a lot to take in, some of the terminology could be explained better but the hands-on exercises are really useful. So, if you want to learn about data mining, building classifiers, and data visualisation the Weka program could be the way to go.
