The program, Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science with Lincoln University College (LUC) is offered by the Faculty of Computer Science & Multimedia. The program providesData Mining as specialization that is designed to take students to the cutting edge of expertise in the Data Mining specialization domain of Computer Science. The Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science with Data Mining specialization integrates theory and practice in a versatile and complementary manner. Students can look forward to academic/research careers in Computer Sciences (at universities, government, or industrial research laboratories), teaching (at colleges or universities), or be a part of software companies.
A PhD in Computer Science with Data Mining specialization looks deeply in advance database and machine learning algorithms for data analysis using computers. In today’s world, large volumes of data is generated from different sources like sensor data, data arising from social network sites and many more. Analysis of large volumes of data requires the use of effective algorithms so that data retrieval, archival and management can be done in an optimized manner. Demand for trained data scientists has witnessed a massive growth in recent years. Data analysis is not only essential but indispensable for meeting the challenges of making most efficient strategic as well as tactical decisions.The objective of this programme is to introduce participants to the different tools and techniques used for handling, managing, analysing and interpreting data.Businesses rely on data mining specialists to find hidden information in datasets and interpret it in a way that is useful to the company or organization. They use statistical software for data analysis and to develop business solutions. After establishing the model relationships, they write comprehensive reports and use data visualization techniques to showcase their findings to clients. During the curriculum the scholars will able to implement basic data processing algorithms like data pre-processing, association rules, classification, clustering, sequence mining and visualization.
For successful completion of the PhD degree in LUC, each candidate should publish a minimum of four research articles in Scopus indexed journals/Conferences with Lincoln University College affiliation.
