You need to find more related papers through google scholar, DBLP, IEEE, ACM and etc. We advise you to read papers from top conferences and journals as listed in (but not limited to) CCF1, CCF2 and etc.

Follow your interest, choose one from these topics listed above, read some papers in your selected topics and write a report.

To wirte this report, you need to consider the following three aspects based on the papers your have read:

  • Motivation, i.e., why data mining is used in this application;
  • Techniques, i.e., how data mining is used in this application;
  • Results, i.e., how well data mining performs in this application.

NOTES:
  • Please use this MSWord template to write your report in Chinese with English abstract, the file for submission should be named with your ID number, e.g., "MG1333001.docx".
  • Do NOT plagiarize, plagiarism will be seriously penalized: You should be careful on writing your report.
