The purpose of this group is to facilitate communication between people who have interests in soft computing techniques and database mining. If you are interested in joining this group, please read the announcement that can be reached by toggling the Invitation link. Database mining seeks to extract previously unrecognized information from data stored in conventional databases. Database mining has also been called 'database exploration' and 'knowledge discovery in databases'.
Databases have significant amounts of stored data.
This data continues to grow exponentially. Much of the data is implicitly or explicitly imprecise. The data is known to be valuable because it was collected to explicitly support particular enterprise activities. There could well be valuable, undiscovered relationships in the data. The issue is how best to recognize them.
