Topic:

climate change and its socio-economic and environmental implications for Small Island Developing States (SIDS)

1. Lecture by Engr. Doorgesh Sookarah

Engr. Sookarah addressed the topic of climate change and its socio-economic and environmental implications for Small Island Developing States (SIDS), with a focus on Mauritius, located in the South-West Indian Ocean.
His presentation emphasized the use of big data analytics to analyze historical environmental data spanning several decades. The methodology included:

  • Data preprocessing
  • Descriptive statistical analysis
  • Correlation analysis
  • Time series decomposition to detect patterns and anomalies

The findings demonstrated the importance of data-driven approaches in shaping evidence-based policy decisions and adaptive climate strategies, making a compelling case for integrating technology into environmental management.

 

Loovesh

Topic:

Data mining techniques in consumer analytics

Engr. Ramwodin delivered a session on the application of data mining techniques in consumer analytics, with a case study based in Montagne Blanche, Moka, Mauritius.
The lecture focused on the use of the FP-Growth algorithm for association rule mining in retail transaction data. Key points included:

  • Identification of frequent itemsets
  • Extraction of meaningful association rules
  • Analysis of localized and previously undocumented consumer purchasing patterns

The study highlighted how data mining can provide actionable insights into consumer behavior, enabling retailers and researchers to understand market dynamics and inform business strategy effectively.
