Erasmus Mundus Master Data Mining and Knowledge Management Courses

First Semister Erasmus Mundus Master Data Mining and Knowledge Management (EM-DMKM) Courses

I have a small abreviation for them as there are six of them, I use PMSOLD.

They are:
Probability and Statistics (P)
Multi Dimentional Data Analysis (M)
Software Methodologies (S)
Optimisation (O)
Logic and Knowledge Representation (L)
Advanced DataBases (A)


All the above mentioned courses are diverse courses, all meant to help the students with future semister subjects pertaining to Data Mining and Knowledge Management (DMKM).

In the comming blogs I will try to explore these subjects in details give a point of view of their importance.

I am four month into the DMKM course and havn't really started well. Its time now to fasten seatbelts and go for mastering all these subjects.
In my view in the semister Probability and Statistics is by far the most difficult as far as understanding it is concerned.


Software Methodologies is a theoritically rich subject exploring varios methods of software engineering. Studying is going to be mostly learning various processes pertaining to software engineering.

Multidimentional Data Analysis and Optimisation are method oriented subjects. Not too much theory, background theory is wide but as far as the EMDMKM is concerend its not that theoritic.


While the other subjects have quite wide aswell.

In the logic and knowledge management subject we are studying a declarative programming language called PROLOG. PROLOG is a very powerful language. It is mostly recursion oriented and very powerful. You can write programs which are supposed to be long in procedural languages like C, in few lines!!

In the blog we will try to study the prolog language and also give many examples along with it. In the coming blogs I shall go into details with the other subjects as well. Things are getting exciting. Till next time see you and bye!
