Industrial partners in education
Involvement of industrial partners in education
We plan to use commercial business intelligence software in application orientedmodules and open source software in theory oriented modules. In applicationoriented modules, part of lectures will be given by top industrial experts, who willformulate topics and supervise part of student theses.
Example
Data mining exercises to be prepared in SAS commercial software.SPSS and SAS industrial experts have invited lectures in Data preprocessingand KDD modules.
