    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

    On the impact of Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

    Get PDF
    Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining are powerful automated data analysis tools and they are predicted to become the most frequently used analytical tools in the near future. The rapid dissemination of these technologies calls for an urgent examination of their social impact. This paper identifies social issues arising from Knowledge Discovery (KD) and Data Mining (DM). An overview of these technologies is presented, followed by a detailed discussion of each issue. The paper's intention is to primarily illustrate the cultural context of each issue and, secondly, to describe the impact of KD and DM in each case. Existing solutions specific to each issue are identified and examined for feasibility and effectiveness, and a solution that provides a suitably contextually sensitive means for gathering and analysing sensitive data is proposed and briefly outlined. The paper concludes with a discussion of topics for further consideration

    Advances in Data Mining Knowledge Discovery and Applications aims to help data miners, researchers, scholars, and PhD students who wish to apply data mining techniques. The primary contribution of this book is highlighting frontier fields and implementations of the knowledge discovery and data mining. It seems to be same things are repeated again. But in general, same approach and techniques may help us in different fields and expertise areas. This book presents knowledge discovery and data mining applications in two different sections. As known that, data mining covers areas of statistics, machine learning, data management and databases, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and other areas. In this book, most of the areas are covered with different data mining applications. The eighteen chapters have been classified in two parts: Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Applications

    KODAMA: an R package for knowledge discovery and data mining

    Get PDF
    Summary: KODAMA, a novel learning algorithm for unsuper-vised feature extraction, is specifically designed for analysing noisy and high-dimensional data sets. Here we present an R package of the algorithm with additional functions that allow improved interpretation of high-dimensional data. The pack-age requires no additional software and runs on all major plat-forms. Availability and Implementation: KODAMA is freely available from the R archive CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org). The soft-ware is distributed under the GNU General Public License (ver-sion 3 or later)

D.) University of Missouri-Columbia 2008.Archived traffic-generated data (traffic flow, accident, work-zone, and weather data) from PR-18 in San Juan was examined by means of association mining and the KDD process. A total of six studies were developed and studied using the IBM Intelligent Miner for Data. The objective was to gain knowledge from the data about interrelationship between the variables. The approach was found to be a source of valuable information that allowed the identification of: red flags during work-zone operations; similar patterns in LOS between Tuesdays and Wednesdays and similar patterns in LOS between Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays; and allowed the analysis of LOS over time. The approach also allowed the identification of temporary traffic control devices impacted by vehicles, common accidents, and day of the week with worst LOS. New regulations could arise from the information learned that could be used to improve work-zone operations for the safety of drivers and construction worker.Includes bibliographical reference

    Knowledge discOvery And daTa minINg inteGrated (KOATING) Moderators for collaborative projects

    Get PDF
    A major issue in any multidiscipline collaborative project is how to best share and simultaneously exploit different types of expertise, without duplicating efforts or inadvertently causing conflicts or loss of efficiency through misunderstanding of individual or shared goals. Moderators are knowledge based systems designed to support collaborative teams by raising awareness of potential problems or conflicts. However, the functioning of a Moderator is limited by the knowledge it has about the team members. Knowledge acquisition, learning and updating of knowledge are the major challenges for a Moderator's implementation. To address these challenges a Knowledge discOvery And daTa minINg inteGrated (KOATING) framework is presented for Moderators to enable them to continuously learn from the operational databases of the company and semi-automatically update their knowledge about team members. This enables the reuse of discovered knowledge from operational databases within collaborative projects. The integration of knowledge discovery in database (KDD) techniques into the existing Knowledge Acquisition Module of a moderator enables hidden data dependencies and relationships to be utilised to facilitate the moderation process. The architecture for the Universal Knowledge Moderator (UKM) shows how Moderators can be extended to incorporate a learning element which enables them to provide better support for virtual enterprises. Unified Modelling Language diagrams were used to specify the ways to design and develop the proposed system. The functioning of a UKM is presented using an illustrative example

    Interactive Constrained Association Rule Mining

    Full text link
    We investigate ways to support interactive mining sessions, in the setting of association rule mining. In such sessions, users specify conditions (queries) on the associations to be generated. Our approach is a combination of the integration of querying conditions inside the mining phase, and the incremental querying of already generated associations. We present several concrete algorithms and compare their performance.Comment: A preliminary report on this work was presented at the Second International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (DaWaK 2000

    Applications of Nonclassical Logic Methods for Purposes of Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

    Get PDF
    * The work is partially supported by Grant no. NIP917 of the Ministry of Science and Education – Republic of Bulgaria.Methods for solution of a large class of problems on the base of nonclassical, multiple-valued, and probabilistic logics have been discussed. A theory of knowledge about changing knowledge, of defeasible inference, and network approach to an analogous derivation have been suggested. A method for regularity search, logic-axiomatic and logic-probabilistic methods for learning of terms and pattern recognition in the case of multiple-valued logic have been described and generalized. Defeasible analogical inference and new forms of inference using exclusions are considered. The methods are applicable in a broad range of intelligent systems
