Data Mining Query Language

Data Mining Query Language:

Why?
Many patterns with few interesting ones
Automating is useless
Solution: interactive mining

provide a set of communication primitives with the

data mining system
Data mining query language (DMQL)
More flexible user interaction
Foundation for design of graphical user interface
Standardization of data mining industry and practice

Data Mining Query Language:

Why?
By providing a standardized language like SQL , DMQL
can achieve (or be):
a similar effect like that SQL has on relational database
A foundation for system development and evolution
An easier information exchange

Data Mining Query Language:

Why?

Integration of Data Mining

Integration of Data Mining into

warehousing
Data warehouse/mining systems coupling No coupling
On-line analytical mining data

Loose coupling
Semi-tight coupling
Tight coupling

Interactive mining with multi-level knowledge

Integration of multiple mining functions

No coupling: flat file processing, not recommended

Loose coupling: Fetching data from DB/DW
Semi-tight coupling: enhanced DM performance
Tight coupling: A uniform information processing environment

Major Issues in Data Mining

Mining methodology

Mining different kinds of knowledge from diverse data types

Performance
Pattern evaluation
Incorporation of background knowledge
Handling noise and incomplete data
distributed and incremental mining methods
Integration of the discovered knowledge with existing one

User interaction
Data mining query languages
visualization of data mining results
Interactive mining

Applications and social impacts

Domain-specific data mining & invisible data mining
Protection of data security, integrity, and privacy

Summary
Data mining: Discovering interesting patterns from large amounts of data
A natural evolution of database technology,
A KDD process includes data cleaning, data integration, data selection,
transformation, data mining, pattern evaluation, and knowledge presentation
Mining can be performed in a variety of information repositories
Data mining functionalities: characterization, discrimination, association,
classification, clustering, outlier and trend analysis, etc.
