Data mining is a field that is a combination of numerous other fields such as the database research, artificial intelligence and statistics. Data mining involves looking for patterns in vast amounts of data as a part of knowledge discovery process. (Huang, Joshua Zhexue, Cao, Longbing, Srivastava, Jaideep, 2011) contains numerous papers that are solely dedicated to discussing the advancements that have been made in the field of data mining and knowledge discovery. A lot of people have performed a thorough research on all that has been done in data mining and the future possibilities that are soon to be implemented practically. The research not only covers the history and the reasons that led to various advancements being made but they also cover the detail models of the proposed solutions to deficiencies in existing systems. An extension of the data mining process is the distributed data mining. It is a process that is not only being used widely but it also has been researched upon and studied quite a lot in previous years. (Bin Liu, Shu-Gui Cao, Xiao-Li Jia, Zhao- Hua Zhi, July 2010) analyzes how the methods and techniques used for the traditional data mining process need to be developed further to make them suitable for the distributed data mining environments. The three main types of the distributed data mining systems are identified and then discussed in detail. The systems are categorized on the infrastructure they are built on; the meta-learning, grid and data mining agents. The three classes are examined in detail, listing their shortcomings and benefits over each other. The main problems regarding all three classes are also discussed and the related models for knowledge discovery are proposed which can be used to overcome ... ... middle of paper ... ...sed for knowledge discovery, namely Upgrading and Rerouting. The process used involves identifying each resource as a component of a certain category based on the provided technical specifications. The name given to this process in Virtual Organization (VO) and it needs only limited information about the resources to make the decision. There are more than one VO’s and each handles different resources and share information about the resources controlled by each. When a request is made it is discovered which resource must be most suitable for the request and then the request is forwarded to the VO that is responsible for handling the said resource. The requesting process also enables the VO’s to update their knowledge of the available Grid resources using the discovery mechanism. The performance of both discover mechanisms, Upgrading and Rerouting are also discussed.
Privacy Preserving Data Mining (PPDM) was proposed by D. Agrawal and C. C. Agrawal [1] and by Y. Lindell and B. Pinkas [5] simultaneously. To address this problem, researchers have since proposed various solutions that fall into two broad categories based on the level of privacy protection they provide. The first category of the Secure Multiparty Computation (SMC) approach provides the strongest level of privacy; it enables mutually distrustful entities to mine their collective data without revealing anything except for what can be inferred from an entity’s own input and the output of the mining operation alone by Y. Lindell and B. Pinkas in [5], J. Vaidya and C.W.Clifton in [6]. In principle, any data mining algorithm can be implemented by using generic algorithms of SMC by O.Goldreich in [7].However, these algorithms are extraordinarily expensive in practice, and impractical for real use. To avoid the high computational cost, various solutions those are more efficient than generic SMC algorithms have been proposed for specific mining tasks. Solutions to build decision trees over the horizontally partitioned data were proposed by Y. Lindell and B. Pinkas in [5]. For vertically partitioned data, algorithms have been proposed to address the association rule mining by J. Vaidya and C.W.Clifton in [6], k-means clustering by J. Vaidya and C. Clifton in[8], and frequent pattern mining problems by A.W.C. Fu, R.C.W. Wong, and K. Wang in [9]. The work of by B. Bhattacharjee, N. Abe, K. Goldman, B. Zadrozny, V.R. Chillakuru, M.del Carpio, and C. Apte in [10] uses a secure coprocessor for privacy preserving collaborative data mining and analysis. The second category of the partial information hiding approach trades pr...
The concept of Multiple Intelligences has come out after Howard Gardner redefined intelligence. According to Gardner’s theory, human beings have different types of intelligence and based on their respective intelligence types, human beings have different skills in different areas. Human beings can be more successful and productive on areas they are skillful. Therefore, choosing appropriate professions, in accordance with one’s intelligence type, is important for individuals as well as for the society. This study aims to develop a technique to help high school students in the profession selection process using artificial intelligence. Questionnaire has been utilized as the research method and the data have been analyzed via Fuzzy Logic Toolbox which is subunit of the software called MATLAB. It was aimed to direct students to appropriate profession and build more successful and productive professions.

Since both consumers and businesses advantage from the use of data mining, each party has to honour the right of the other one in order to keep an ethical function of the data mining relationship between the two of them. Long ago, data mining was only about essential and voluntary information collected from customers who were aware that their information is being gathered. Nowadays, the ethical issues raised are whether the data collected will be used against customers’ rights, and whether it will become a part that is accessible in the future by others. The strategies proposed by Payne and Trumbach, with regard to Data mining(1) and consumers’ information, propose that in the right moral structure, data mining can be ethically effective and protective to consumers’ right. Six principals are needed for a productive ethical data mining strategy: anonymity, disclosure, choice, time limits, trust and accuracy of data (Payne & Trumbach, 2009).

Due to the development of ICT, adaptive learning, which takes into account individual learners’ needs, is changing. Learners’ learning styles are one of the most significant characteristics. They can be categorized according to a number of criteria which are based on cognitive and emotional components of personality. Their combination leads to the countless individual variants of real learning methods which – to a certain degree – can be influenced by the current e-learning resources. When the e-learning resources can react to the learners’ input characteristics or their learning results, they become adaptive e-learning systems (AES) or intelligent AES.
Data mining consists of extracting interesting patterns representing knowledge from real-world databases. The software applications related with data mining includes various methodologies developed by both commercial and research organizations. Different data mining techniques used to...
There are many different types of students. All students have their own way of studying and learning material. A student’s attitude is the most determining factor in how well a student performs academically. Some students are eager to learn and try their best; however, some students could care less about learning. Each year students decide whether they will succeed or fail in school. All students fall into one category or another. Students can be classified into three categories: Overachievers, Average Joes, and Do Not Give a Rips.

Sentiment analysis, also called as opinion mining, is the field of study that analyzes people’s opinions, sentiments, evaluations, appraisals, attitudes and emotion towards entities such as products, services or organizations, individuals, issues, topics and their attributes. Sentiment analysis and opinion mining mainly focuses on opinions which express or imply positive, negative or neutral sentiments. Due to the big diversity and size of social media there is a need of automated and real time opinion extraction and mining. Mining online opinion is a form of sentiment analysis that is treated as a difficult text classification task.
Information privacy, or data privacy is the relationship between distribution of data, technology, the public expectation of privacy, and the legal and political issues surrounding them.
