From Data Mining to Knowledge Discovery: An Overview

The KDD process for extracting useful knowledge from volumes of data

TLDR
A new generation of computational techniques and tools is required to support the extraction of useful knowledge from the rapidly growing volumes of data, the subject of the emerging field of knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) and data mining.

Advances in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

TLDR
This talk will discuss the issues and focus on how to mine evolving data streams and preserve privacy and the characteristics of the data stream can change over time and the evolving pattern needs to be captured.

Refining Initial Points for K-Means Clustering

TLDR
A procedure for computing a refined starting condition from a given initial one that is based on an efficient technique for estimating the modes of a distribution that allows the iterative algorithm to converge to a “better” local minimum.

Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining: Towards a Unifying Framework

TLDR
The KDD process and basic data mining algorithms are defined, links between data mining, knowledge discovery, and other related fields are described, and an analysis of challenges facing practitioners in the field is analyzed.

Scaling Clustering Algorithms to Large Databases

TLDR
A scalable clustering framework applicable to a wide class of iterative clustering that requires at most one scan of the database and is instantiated and numerically justified with the popular K-Means clustering algorithm.

Hierarchical Clustering Algorithms for Document Datasets

TLDR
The experimental evaluation shows that, contrary to the common belief, partitional algorithms always lead to better solutions than agglomerative algorithms; making them ideal for clustering large document collections due to not only their relatively low computational requirements, but also higher clustering quality.
