Lab 1: ( week of 24th & 31st August 2026 )

Task No. Task Assessment Period. Submission Deadline
1 Apply data cleaning techniques on any dataset (e.g., Paper Reviews dataset in UCI repository). Techniques may include handling missing values, outliers and inconsistent values. A set of validation rules can be prepared based on the dataset and validations can be performed. 24/08/2026 - 31/08/2026 01/09/2026

Lab 2: ( week of 07th & 14th September 2026 )

Task No. Task Assessment Period. Submission Deadline
2 Apply data pre-processing techniques such as standardization/normalization, transformation, aggregation, discretization/binarization, sampling etc. on any dataset 07/09/2026 - 14/09/2026 22/09/2025

Lab 3: ( week of 21st & 28th September 2026 )

Task No. Task Assessment Period. Submission Deadline
5 Apply simple K-means algorithm for clustering any dataset. Compare the performance of clusters by varying the algorithm parameters. For a given set of parameters, plot a line graph depicting MSE obtained after each iteration. 21/09/2026 - 28/09/2026 29/09/2026
