Classification of Data Mining Systems

• Data mining is an interdisciplinary field, the


confluence of a set of disciplines, including database
systems, statistics, machine learning, visualization,
and information science.

• Moreover, depending on the data mining approach


used, techniques from other disciplines may be
applied, such as neural networks, fuzzy and/or rough
set theory, knowledge representation, inductive logic
programming, or high-performance computing.
 Depending on the kinds of data to be mined or
on the given data mining application, the data
mining system may also integrate techniques
from spatial data analysis, information
retrieval, pattern recognition, image analysis,
signal processing, computer graphics, Web
technology, economics, business,
bioinformatics, or psychology.

 Data mining systems can be categorized


according to various criteria, as follows:
Classification according to the kinds of databases
mined:

 A data mining system can be classified according


to the kinds of databases mined.

 Database systems can be classified according to


different criteria (such as data models ,or the types
of data or applications involved), each of which
may require its own data mining technique. Data
mining systems can therefore be classified
accordingly.
Classification according to the kinds of knowledge
mined:

 Data mining systems can be categorized according to


the kinds of knowledge they mine, that is, based on
data mining functionalities, such as characterization,
discrimination, association and correlation analysis,
classification, prediction, clustering, outlier analysis,
and evolution analysis.

 A comprehensive data mining system usually provides


multiple and/or integrated data mining functionalities.
Classification according to the kinds of techniques
utilized:

 Data mining systems can be categorized according to the


underlying data mining techniques employed.

 These techniques can be described according to the


degree of user interaction involved (e.g., autonomous
systems, interactive exploratory systems, query-driven
systems) or the methods of data analysis employed (e.g.,
database-oriented or data warehouse– oriented techniques,
machine learning, statistics, visualization, pattern
recognition, neural networks, and so on).
Classification according to the applications adapted:

 Data mining systems can also be categorized


according to the applications they adapt.

 For example, data mining systems may be tailored


specifically for finance, telecommunications, stock
markets, e-mail, and so on.
 Different applications often require the integration of
application-specific methods. Therefore, a generic, all-
purpose data mining system may not fit domain
specific mining tasks.
