In solving the classification problem in relational data mining, traditional methods, for example, the C4.5 and its variants, usually require data transformations from datasets sto...
This paper describes a successful but challenging application of data mining in the railway industry. The objective is to optimize maintenance and operation of trains through prog...
Several algorithms have been proposed for finding the “best,” “optimal,” or “most interesting” rule(s) in a database according to a variety of metrics including confid...
We study the mining of interesting patterns in the presence of numerical attributes. Instead of the usual discretization methods, we propose the use of rank based measures to scor...
In this paper, we discuss a prototype application deployed at the U.S. National Science Foundation for assisting program directors in identifying reviewers for proposals. The appl...
