Description

This textbook explores the different aspects of data mining from the fundamentals to the complex data types and their applications, capturing the wide diversity of problem domains for data mining issues. It goes beyond the traditional focus on data mining problems to introduce advanced data types such as text, time series, discrete sequences, spatial data, graph data, and social networks. Until now, no single book has addressed a lot of these topics in a comprehensive and integrated way. The chapters of this book fall into one of three categories:

  • Fundamental chapters: Data mining has four main problems, which correspond to clustering, classification, association pattern mining, and outlier analysis. These chapters comprehensively discuss all kinds of methods for these problems.
  • Domain chapters: These chapters discuss the specific methods used for different domains of data such as text data, time-series data, sequence data, graph data, and spatial data.

    • Application chapters: These chapters study important applications such as stream mining, Web mining, ranking, recommendations, social networks, and privacy preservation. The domain chapters also have an applied flavor.

Appropriate for both introductory and advanced data mining courses, Data Mining: The Textbook balances mathematical details and intuition. It contains the necessary mathematical details for professors and researchers, but it is presented in a simple and intuitive style to enhance accessibility for students and industrial practitioners (including those with a limited mathematical background). A lot of illustrations, examples, and exercises are included, with an emphasis on semantically interpretable examples.

Praise for Data Mining: The Textbook –

“As I read through this book, I have already made up our minds to use it in my classes.  This can be a book written by an outstanding researcher who has made fundamental contributions to data mining, in a way that is both accessible and up-to-the-minute.  The book is complete with theory and practical use cases.  It’s a will have to-have for students and professors alike!” — Qiang Yang, Chair of Computer Science and Engineering at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

“This is the most amazing and comprehensive text book on data mining. It covers not only the fundamental problems, such as clustering, classification, outliers and frequent patterns, and different data types, including text, time series, sequences, spatial data and graphs, but also quite a lot of applications, such as recommenders, Web, social network and privacy.  This is a great book for graduate students and researchers as well as practitioners.” — Philip S. Yu, UIC Distinguished Professor and Wexler Chair in Information Technology at University of Illinois at Chicago
