An Introduction to This Course (Cont.)


The following Q&As are used to explain the teaching plan adopted by this course (cont.):
Why is DEM (Data Engineering and Management) closely related to AI/DM/ML/IR?
Though data processing is popular, it is well developed. On the other hand, AI/DM/ML/IR may not be practical, but have plenty of innovative methods available:

Top 10 artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms
Top 10 data mining (DM) algorithms
Popular machine learning (ML) algorithms
Popular information retrieval (IR) algorithms

DEM research can take the advantages of both by merging data processing with AI/DM/ML/IR methods.

What are the differences between DEM and AI/DM/ML/IR?
The DEM (data engineering and management) does borrow many methods from AI/DM/ML/IR. However, the DEM is not the same as AI/DM/ML/IR because of the problem of data processing. That is a data research topic may consist of two parts: DEM and AI/DM/ML/IR, and you want to put an emphasis on the former instead of the latter because the DEM is more useful and practical.
