Description
A Fruitful Field for Researching Data Mining Methodology and for Solving Real-Life ProblemsContrast Data Mining: Concepts, Algorithms, and Applications collects recent results from this specialized area of data mining that have previously been scattered in the literature, making them more accessible to researchers and developers in data mining and
Reviews / Votes
This book, edited by two leading researchers on contrast mining, Professors Guozhu Dong and James Bailey, and contributed to by over 40 data mining researchers and application scientists, is a comprehensive and authoritative treatment of this research theme. It presents a systematic introduction and a thorough overview of the state of the art for contrast data mining, including concepts, methodologies, algorithms, and applications. ... the book will appeal to a wide range of readers, including data mining researchers and developers who want to be informed about recent progress in this exciting and fruitful area of research, scientific researchers who seek to find new tools to solve challenging problems in their own research domains, and graduate students who want to be inspired on problem solving techniques and who want to get help with identifying and solving novel data mining research problems in various domains.-From the Foreword by Jiawei Han, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA
