Spring project, 1996

This project has been done by two students at the Knowledge Systems Groups at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Øyvind Tuseth Aasheim and Helge Grenager Solheim. Our supervisors were Torulf Mollestad and professor Jan Komorowski.

On this page, I have put some links to places I found useful during this project. Our report is available in PostScript format here. You may also read a version of directly in html format here, but some equations and figures are missing.

Some useful links:

Data mining

• Knowledge Discovery Mine
• SCDS Create your own data sets, anyway you like
• Data Mining Papers
• Data Mining Group at University of Helsinki
• Other Sites Relevent To Data Mining
• UCI Repository - lots of datasets to test with.
• Directory of /pub/machine-learning-databases/hepatitis
• IBM Almaden Data Mining
• Some useful definitions and data mining concepts...
• CWI
• GTE
• LANL
• Nice news articles

      A very good report for a starter about data mining
      in general is (It can be found on the net):
    - "Data Mining: The Search for Knowledge in Databases",
       by Marcel Holsheimer (marcel@cwi.nl) and Arno Siebes
      (arno@cwi.nl).
      
  

Rough sets:

• EBRSC
• A quick introduction to Rough Sets

The rest of this is a lot of notes and other messy stuff...

UCI have a HUGE repository of ML databases, plus a version of FOCL (extension
of Quinlan's FOIL). These can be found in
ftp://ics.uci.edu:pub/machine-learning-databases and
ftp://ics.uci.edu:pub/machine-learning-programs.
