Educational Data Mining 2008 Proceedings-free
Educational Data Mining (EDM) is the process of converting raw data from educational systems to useful information that can be used by educational software developers, students, teachers, parents, and other educational researchers. EDM is also an emerging discipline, concerned with developing methods for exploring the unique types of data that come from educational settings, and […]
Predictive data mining in clinical medicine-Current issues and guidelines
The widespread availability of new computational methods and tools for data analysis and predictive modeling requires medical informatics researchers and practitioners to systematically select the most appropriate strategy to cope with clinical prediction problems. In particular, the collection of methods known as ‘data mining’ offers methodological and technical solutions to deal with the analysis of […]
Data Mining Using High Performance Data Clouds-Experimental Studies Using Sector and Sphere
We describe the design and implementation of a high per- formance cloud that we have used to archive, analyze and mine large distributed data sets. By a cloud, we mean an in- frastructure that provides resources and/or services over the Internet. A storage cloud provides storage services, while a compute cloud provides compute services. We […]
