Unlike previous sessions the course is now being offered on a self-paced basis. All the material, activities and assessments are available now until 23rd October 2015 at:
We are not providing any tutorial, help or assistance during this session. Also, we will not generate any Statements of Completion until after 23rd October.
The course includes the following resources:
- the Weka software; Lesson 1.2 gives downloading instructions (we are using version 3.6.11)
- videos, one per lesson, on YouTube
- the videos include captions (English and Chinese), which can be turned on in YouTube
- slides used in the videos (PDF format)
- text files containing transcripts of the videos
- activities that follow each lesson
- access to selected excerpts from Data Mining (3rd Edition) - plus you can buy a discounted copy from the publisher
- announcement forum, blog, twitter feed (available from the course website)
for Chinese participants:
- videos on Youku
- one version with captions in Chinese (another with English captions is available on our Youku channel)
Some notes for participants:
- work through the videos and activities at your own pace, in your own time
- please subscribe to the announcement forum if you haven't already done so: this is the best way to stay up-to-date with the course (click on Membership and email settings to subscribe)
- only the mid-course and final assessments count towards the Statement of Completion
- feel free to install Weka in advance, but please ensure that you have version 3.6.11
- if you already know something about Weka, feel free to skip the first class (or two)
- during the videos, it may help to follow with Weka on your own computer ("click along with Ian")
- the course should take 2–3 hours/week (3–4 hours if you do the optional reading)
- you can download the materials from http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this course. For what I have seen it is very interesting. I have found all the pdf's and downloaded all the youtube videos. However, I cannot find the activities which must be done at the end of every lesson. I understand that these should be available till the end of this course, october 23rd.
Can you provide me with a link to these activities.
Thank you very much.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI understand that you are not providing any help - but your site: https://weka.waikato.ac.nz/ appears to have been off line for several days. I had got up to week 3 by the end of September and had to take a break for a while. When I came back the site wasn't there. Will it be re-instated at some point soon?
Thanks,
Tim
I was wondering when will the Statements of completion be available?
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI was a participant in your self-paced course and completed it with great interesest, so first and foremost, thanks for the work of putting together such a great introduction to Data Mining!
After finishing the course in mid October I was aware that I would have to wait some time until my Statement of completion would arive, but as I hadn't gotten any notice until now, I began to wonder if there had been a problem.
Sure enough I now noticed that the mid-course assessment was evaluated with 0 points, which now puts me on 67 points and out of consideration for a Statement of completion. I can assure you that I finished all of the tasks an submitted them in time, proof of this should be the post-course assessment which was saved an evaluated correctly.
This is why I'm now trying to get in contact with you, to try and sort this out, because such a Statement of completion would mean a lot to me and as someone who spent put his time and effort into this course I believe i have earned it.
I hope I chose the right adress for this matter and that someone will be able to help.
With best regards
Gabriel H
