Tantek goes a data mining


Tantek goes a data mining 06/25/2004 04:01 AM

"There's GOLD in them thar blogs!" Tantek Celik was overheard yelling at the dinner party two night ago. "I'm a going a data mining..."

As Scoble tells it.....

It's public now, so wanted to let everyone know that Tantek Çelik is leaving Microsoft and going to work for Technorati. This is a loss for Microsoft and a major win for Technorati. Tantek did the rendering engine for IE on the Mac, represented Microsoft on the W3C, among other things, during his tenure at Microsoft (some of his more recent work won't be seen until Longhorn ships).

I learned it earlier this week (Tantek IM'd me). Tantek is one of those developers that you just wish you could bottle up and duplicate. I'm happy for him and Technorati, though.

Is the weblogging and RSS world picking up steam? Can you feel it yet?

SQL Server Data Mining Programmability


SQL Server Data Mining Programmability 04/14/2005 01:40 AM
With Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the collection of statistics techniques and machine learning algorithms generically known as data mining is brought up to a new level. The most important change is that, in SQL Server 2005, data mining changes its target audience. Besides being a scientific lab instrument, addressing a limited number of highly skilled individuals, SQL Server Data Mining now gains ubiquity as a handy tool for developers, ready to be used in a wide range of applications. Most applications, from spreadsheets to Internet games, from peer-to-peer communication systems to application servers, share one common characteristic: they have to process data. In doing this, they use certain standard APIs for accessing data. With SQL Server 2005 Data Mining, the same kind of APIs can be used to embed machine intelligence in the data processing systems.

Data Mining by Government Rampant


Data Mining by Government Rampant 05/28/2004 12:46 PM

The General Accounting Office, Congress' investigative arm, has issued a new report showing that government agencies are using data-mining in all kinds of ways and without any serious scrutiny for abuse. It's all in the name of protecting against terrorism, but the wider use of these techniques is blatantly obvious, and dangerous. And this report doesn't have anything about what the CIA and NSA are doing, because they didn't bother to respond to Congress on this question. Secrecy rules if you're the government. Privacy is dying if you're not the government. This is a dangerous imbalance.

Text Mining Begins Digging Through Unstructured Data
http://snipurl.com/7gpp
A good 85% of an organization's knowledge is in the form of unstructured data. Easy to quantify, hard to find. "We are drowning in information but are starving for knowledge," says an R&D technical leader at Dow Chemical. But a new generation of text mining tools is allowing companies to extract key elements from large unstructured data sets, discover relationships and summarize the information. Dow, for example, uses ClearResearch to extract data from chemical patent abstracts, published research papers and the company's own files. And the University of Louisville uses SAS's Text Miner on text files, such as patient charts, and analyzes flat-file snapshots of billing and pharmaceutical databases as text, rather than as database entries. Researchers there have pinpointed certain medications that can prolong hospital stays for patients. Because of some limitations in the new software (such as understanding linguistics), text miners are still niche products, generally restricted to specific parts of an organization and requiring specialized analytical skills to implement and deliver truly useful information. It'll be awhile before they're commonly available. But some vendors are already incorporating text mining tools as a background function to improve the effectiveness of more familiar search or document management applications.

Bibliomining for Automated Collection Development in a Digital Library Setting: Using Data Mining to Discover Web-Based Scholarly Research Works by Dr. Scott Nicholson
http://dlist.sir .arizona.edu/archive/00000625/
http://www.BiblioMining.com/ < br />
Abstract:
This research creates an intelligent agent for automated collection development in a digital library setting. It uses a predictive model based on facets of each Web page to select scholarly works. The criteria came from the academic library selection literature, and a Delphi study was used to refine the list to 41 criteria. A Perl program was designed to analyze a Web page for each criterion and applied to a large collection of scholarly and non-scholarly Web pages. Bibliomining, or data mining for libraries, was then used to create different classification models. Four techniques were used: logistic regression, non-parametric discriminant analysis, classification trees, and neural networks. Accuracy and return were used to judge the effectiveness of each model on test datasets. In addition, a set of problematic pages that were difficult to classify because of their similarity to scholarly research was gathered and classified using the models. The resulting models could be used in the selection process to automatically create a digital library of Web-based scholarly research works. In addition, the technique can be extended to create a digital library of any type of structured electronic information.
