Focusing on a data-centric perspective, this is an overview of data mining: its uses, methods, current technologies, commercial products, and future challenges. Three parts divide the volume: Part One describes technologies for data mining database systems, warehousing, machine learning, visualization, decision support, statistics, parallel processing, and architectural support for data mining. Part Two presents tools and techniques - getting the data ready, carrying out the mining, pruning the results, evaluating outcomes, defining specific approaches, examining a specific technique based on logic programming, and citing literature and vendors for information. Part Three examines emerging trends - mining distributed and heterogeneous data sources; multimedia data, such as text, images, video; mining data on the World Wide Web; metadata aspects of mining; and privacy issues.
