  Spatial Data Mining -- Recommendations and Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Data mining has been defined as "The nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data" 1 and "The science of extracting useful information from large data sets or databases" 2.
Data warehouses were beginning to be used for storage of data.
Data Mining thus arose as a response to challenges faced by the database community in dealing with massive amounts of data, application of statistical analysis to data and application of search techniques from Artificial Intelligence to these problems.

 Data Mining For Very Busy People - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Data Mining For Very Busy People is an article by Menzies (West Virginia University) and Hu (University of British Columbia).
In it, the authors make the argument that accessing data is not the problem for the data mining community - the problem is ignoring the irrelevant data.
The authors describe the TAR2 treatment learner, a data mining tool that searches for "the minimal difference set between things." It is claimed that TAR2 produces data models that are simpler to understand by humans, because the models are presented as a list of essential differences instead of a highly detailed summary.

From [1]: In Data mining, treatment learners are used to find rules that change the expected class distribution (compared to some baseline).
Treatment learning is a process by which an ordered classified data set can be evaluated as part of a data mining session to produce a representative data model.
In data mining and treatment learning, association rule learners are used to discover elements that occur in common within a given data set [1].

Data modeling tools from vendors such as Logic Works Inc., Powersoft brand from Sybase Inc., and IBM Corp. facilitate the construction of an enterprise's data structure by creating optimal data structures, but they are useful only to a point.
HR was too busy to devote much time to helping IS, so instead of explaining the process in detail and gathering everybody together for a group brain-dump, the IS team split up and went directly to users' work places to talk with them in small groups.
That makes updating the data more difficult because the same piece of data is stored in several places, which may work for data warehouses that are primarily used for queries and rarely updated.

Even though the information in the data warehouse was accurate, these end users were using their old tried-and-true sources of data because it was comfortable for them to do so and because it was part of their routine.
Having a good change control process in place before a data warehouse goes live is one of those things I feel is almost as critical to a successful deployment as having good clean data in the warehouse.
But (and this is a major but) the frequency and types of changes to the data warehouse must be controlled to keep things from getting out of hand and corrupting the warehouse or, conversely, not being addressed by the support team in a timely manner and causing user dissatisfaction.

 OLAP-Driven Collaborative Portals: Everyone in the Pool!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In many smaller enterprises, the IT adult is not often present, or very busy, and the data used to collaborate on decisions is captured and tracked not in the context of a BI suite but in individual Excel spreadsheets.
This is a very low- cost mechanism, but the extraction of relevant information and the ability to juxtapose different pieces of data becomes a challenge unless all the kids are very good at pivot tables or programming in Visual Basic.
For these people, collaborating on a report or analysis session becomes as simple as sending a link from your favorite news portal - the only requirement for the collaboration is a browser, connection to the Internet, and a need to know.

Most data miners are zealous hunters seeking detailed summaries and generating extensive and lengthy descriptions.
Rather, they want only the data they need to achieve the most benefits.Instead of finding extensive descriptions of things, their data mining tool hunts for a minimal difference set between things because they believe a list of essential differences is easier to read and understand than detailed descriptions.

Busy verification: In a public switched telephone network, a network-provided service feature that permits an attendant to verify the busy or idle state of station lines and to break into the conversation.
A 440 Hz tone is applied to the line for 2 seconds, followed by a 0.5 second burst every 10 seconds, to alert both parties that the attendant is connected to the circuit.
However, often-times for non-mission-critical systems, formal methods prove to be very costly and an alternative method of V&V must be sought out.

Using today's standard Internet protocol, the same data transfer would have taken 25 days, because over long distances, the common TCP network protocol is ineffective at moving large data sets.
Previous high-speed transfers of very large data sets used specialized research networks with data protocols that prevented other network traffic from sharing the same link.
The demonstration was part of an ongoing international effort to find and test new ways of reliably moving massive data sets around the globe using advanced networks and new transfer protocols.

 Why Google needs Orkut (by Jeremy Zawodny)
In all the discussion of Orkut I've seen so far, most folks are busy comparing Orkut to every other social networking web site around, typically they mention Friendster ("it's so much faster!"), but as we all know these sites are a dime a dozen these days.
Suddenly they're able to set a *.google.com cookie that contains a bit of identifying data (such as your Orkut id) and that would greatly enhance their ability to mine useful and profitable data from the combination of your profile and daily searches.
Perhaps in these heady post-IPO days Google are too busy with letting you search your own pc, developing browsers (or not) and figuring out how to leverage their IM application to bother too much about Orkut.
