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)

 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.
