Course Description
This course bridges foundational large-scale data mining with modern agentic AI, autonomous decision-making, and automated scientific discovery. Students learn to mine massive datasets, evaluate data quality, reason about streaming systems, and design agent-driven workflows that can plan, iterate, and justify decisions.
Welcome to CSC 84040: Advanced Data Mining with AI Agents.
This site covers the Fall 2026 offering of the course and will be updated throughout the semester with the schedule, readings, project guidance, and course materials for large-scale data mining, agentic systems, and scientific discovery workflows.
