Classification of Data Mining Systems
■ according to the kinds of databases mined
- data models (relational, transactional, DW, object-relational)
- types of data (spatial, text, time series, multimedia, www)
- application
■ according to the kinds of knowledge mined
-based on data mining functionalities
-based on the granularity or levels of abstraction of the
knowledge mined (generalized, primitive level, multiple levels)
-mine data regularities(commonly occurring patterns)
versus those that mine data irregularities (such as exceptions, or outliers)
Dr Senthilkumar N C, Asso Prof, SITE
■ according to the kinds of techniques utilized
-degree of user interaction involved (e.g., autonomous systems,
interactive exploratory systems, query-driven systems)
-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)
■ according to the applications adapted
finance, telecommunications, DNA, stock markets, e-mail, and so on

Integration of a Data Mining with DB/DW Systems
■ No coupling—flat file processing, not recommended
■ Loose coupling
■ Fetching data from DB/DW. it is difficult to achieve high
scalability and good performance with large data sets
■ Semi-tight coupling—enhanced DM performance
■ Provide efficient implement a few data mining primitives in a
DB/DW system, e.g., sorting, indexing, aggregation, histogram
analysis, multiway join, precomputation of some stat functions
■ Tight coupling—A uniform information processing environment
■ DM is smoothly integrated into a DB/DW system, mining query
is optimized based on mining query, indexing, query processing
methods, etc.
