A large proportion of the massive amounts of data that are being collected by many organisations today is about people, and often contains identifying information like names, addre...
Efficient query processing is one of the basic needs for data mining algorithms. Clustering algorithms, association rule mining algorithms and OLAP tools all rely on efficient quer...
This paper investigates the use of supervised clustering in order to create sets of categories for classi cation of documents. We use information from a pre-existing taxonomy in o...
Classification is one of the basic tasks of data mining in modern database applications including molecular biology, astronomy, mechanical engineering, medical imaging or meteorolo...
For a wide variety of classification algorithms, scalability to large databases can be achieved by observing that most algorithms are driven by a set of sufficient statistics that...
