VISUAL DATA MINING TOOLS: QUALITY METRICS DEFINITION AND APPLICATION

Edwige Fangseu Badjio, François Poulet

2005

Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to integrate HCI (Human Computer Interaction) requirements in visual data mining tools engineering. We present the definition of metrics/measurements in order to improve the quality of those tools at all the steps or after the development process. On the basis of these metrics/measurements, we have derived a questionnaire for the evaluation of the utility, the usability and the acceptability of visual data mining environments. A case study enables us to concretely materialize the contribution of the measurements and also to detect and explain (design and usage) errors.
