DATA MINING TECHNOLOGIES
Knowledge discovery and data mining software (Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining - KDD) as an interdisciplinary field emersion have been in rapid growth to merge databases, statistics, industries closely related to the desire to extract valuable information and knowledge in a volume as possible.There is a difference in understanding of "knowledge discovery" and "data mining." Discovery information (Knowledge Discovery) in the database is a process to identify patterns / templates of valid data, innovative, useful and, in the last measure, understandable.data mining, knowledge discovery, data warehouse, data mining tools, data mining applications
Understanding Communication Patterns in MOOCs: Combining Data Mining and qualitative methods
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offer unprecedented opportunities to
learn at scale. Within a few years, the phenomenon of crowd-based learning has
gained enormous popularity with millions of learners across the globe
participating in courses ranging from Popular Music to Astrophysics. They have
captured the imaginations of many, attracting significant media attention -
with The New York Times naming 2012 "The Year of the MOOC." For those engaged
in learning analytics and educational data mining, MOOCs have provided an
exciting opportunity to develop innovative methodologies that harness big data
in education.Comment: Preprint of a chapter to appear in "Data Mining and Learning

Galaxy Zoo: Morphological Classification and Citizen Science
We provide a brief overview of the Galaxy Zoo and Zooniverse projects,
including a short discussion of the history of, and motivation for, these
projects as well as reviewing the science these innovative internet-based
citizen science projects have produced so far. We briefly describe the method
of applying en-masse human pattern recognition capabilities to complex data in
data-intensive research. We also provide a discussion of the lessons learned
from developing and running these community--based projects including thoughts
on future applications of this methodology. This review is intended to give the
reader a quick and simple introduction to the Zooniverse.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure; to be published in Advances in Machine Learning

3D Visualization and virtual reality for visual data mining - a survey
Visual Data Mining (VDM) aims at an easier interpretation of data mining algorithm results through the use of visualization techniques. During the last decade, many techniques of information visualization have been proposed, allowing visualization of multidimensional data. Previously, ((Chi, 2000), (Herman et al., 2000)) attempted to classify VDM techniques . However, these taxonomies do not take into account some innovative techniques based on 3D visualization and virtual environments (VEs). In this paper, we propose an exhaustive survey of recent techniques for VDM. These different techniques are detailed, classified and compared according to the following criteria : graphical encoding, interaction techniques and applications. Moreover, they are presented in tables together with graphical illustrations
Selected papers from the 14th Annual Bio-Ontologies Special Interest Group Meeting
Over the 14 years, the Bio-Ontologies SIG at ISMB has provided a forum for discussion of the latest and most innovative research in the bio-ontologies development, its applications to biomedicine and more generally the organisation, presentation and dissemination of knowledge in biomedicine and the life sciences. The seven papers selected for this supplement span a wide range of topics including: web-based querying over multiple ontologies, integration of data from wikis, innovative methods of annotating and mining electronic health records, advances in annotating web documents and biomedical literature, quality control of ontology alignments, and the ontology support for predictive models about toxicity and open access to the toxicity data
