|  | Data Mining Department |  | The Department
Data mining is the intelligent computational analysis of large sets of data by using a combination of machine learning, statistical analysis and database technology, with the objective to discover patterns and rules useful for guiding decisions about future activities.
In our Department, our key focus is on the effective mining of complex patterns from both structured and unstructured data, as well as the innovative uses of such techniques to discover new knowledge for a wide range of application domains. With a unqiue history of starting out as a bioinformatics group more than a decade ago, the Department excels in cross-disciplinary data mining research, and it is expanding its success in bioinformatics to other challenging domains such as financial data analysis, business analytics, and social network mining.
Our mission is to put Singaporeon the knowledge highway by developing advanced data mining systems to address the increasing volume, variety and velocity of data analysis today with greater flexibility, precision, and automation for our knowledge economies.Key Competencies
