TOWARDS VISUAL DATA MINING

François Poulet

2004

Abstract

In this paper, we present our work in a new data mining approach called Visual Data Mining (VDM). This new approach tries to involve the user (being the data expert not a data mining or analysis specialist) more intensively in the data mining process and to increase the part of the visualisation in this process. The visualisation part can be increased with cooperative tools: the visualisation is used as a pre- or post-processing step of usual (automatic) data mining algorithms, or the visualisation tools can be used instead of the usual automatic algorithms. All these topics are addressed in this paper with an evaluation of the algorithms presented and a discussion of the interactive algorithms compared with automatic ones. All this work must be improved in order to allow the data specialists to efficiently use these kinds of algorithms to solve their problems.
