Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for storing of data mining models, the method comprising: creating a first data mining model having at least one of the following characteristics: quality and complexity; determining whether the first data mining model is a candidate for storing in a storage device in response to a criterion for the characteristics being met; determining whether the sum of the size of the first data mining model and sizes of further data mining models already stored in the storage device exceeds a storage limit; in response to the storage limit not being exceeded, storing the first data mining model in the storage device; in response to the storage limit being exceeded, determining, based upon priorities of the first data mining model and the further data mining models, which data mining models to store in the storage device, the priorities being dependent at least on access frequencies of the respective data mining models; providing a surjective (N-to-1) mapping from data mining requests onto data mining tasks; providing a bijective (1-to-1) mapping from data mining tasks onto data mining models, wherein a data mining task includes an associated data mining model; storing for each stored data mining model a respective task description; and upon receiving a new data mining request, determining based on the surjective and bijective mappings whether a data mining model associated with the new data mining request is already stored in the storage device.
