Effective Techniques and Methodologies for Multi-Database Mining

Funding: 2003: $50,000

Funding or Partner Organisation: Australian Research Council (ARC Discovery Projects)

Start year: 2003

Summary: This project develops a high-performance multi-database mining system. This project is significant because (1) it is imperative due to a great deal of multi-databases widely used in organizations; (2) it is difficult due to essential differences between mono- and multi-databases; (3) existing multi-database mining techniques are inadequate; and (4) the new mining strategies in this project can make a vast improvement of the ability and performance of multi-database mining systems. The expected outcomes are: an application-independent database classification, a local instance analysis and a prototype system. These proposed techniques are innovative, effective and efficient in identifying novel patterns from multi-databases.
