The aims and objectives of data mining are to discover knowledge of interest to user needs.Data mining is really a useful tool in many domains such as marketing, decision making, etc. However, some basic issues of data mining are ignored. What is data mining? What is the product of a data mining process? What are we doing in a data mining process? Is there any rule we should obey in a data mining process? In order to discover patterns and knowledge really interesting and actionable to the real world Zhang et al proposed a domain-driven human-machine-cooperated data mining process.Zhao and Yao proposed an interactive user-driven classification method using the granule network. In our work, we find that data mining is a kind of knowledge transforming process to transform knowledge from data format into symbol format. Thus, no new knowledge could be generated (born) in a data mining process. In a data mining process, knowledge is just transformed from data format, which is not understandable for human, into symbol format,which is understandable for human and easy to be used.It is similar to the process of translating a book from Chinese into English.In this translating process,the knowledge itself in the book should remain unchanged. What will be changed is the format of the knowledge only. That is, the knowledge in the English book should be kept the same as the knowledge in the Chinese one.Otherwise, there must be some mistakes in the translating proces, that is, we are transforming knowledge from one format into another format while not producing new knowledge in a data mining process. The knowledge is originally stored in data (data is a representation format of knowledge). Unfortunately, we can not read, understand, or use it, since we can not understand data. With this understanding of data mining, we proposed a data-driven knowledge acquisition method based on rough sets. It also improved the performance of classical knowledge acquisition methods. In fact, we also find that the domain-driven data mining and user-driven data mining do not conflict with our data-driven data mining. They could be integrated into domain-oriented data-driven data mining. It is just like the views of data base. Users with different views could look at different partial data of a data base. Thus, users with different tasks or objectives wish, or could discover different knowledge (partial knowledge) from the same data base. However, all these partial knowledge should be originally existed in the data base. So, a domain-oriented data-driven data mining method would help us to extract the knowledge which is really existed in a data base, and really interesting and actionable to the real world.展开更多

On the one hand rough set is used as front of RBFNN to simplify the input of RBFNN and mine the rules. The mined rules whose “confidence” and “support” is higher than requirement are used to offer fault diagnosis service for power transformer directly. On the other hand the mining samples corresponding to the mined rule, whose “confidence and support” is lower than requirement, are used to be training samples set of RBFNN and these samples are clustered by rough set. The center of each clustering set is used to be center of radial basis function, i.e., as the hidden layer neuron. The RBFNN is structured with above base, which is used to diagnose the case that can not be diagnosed by mined simplified valuable rules based on rough set. The advantages and effectiveness of this method are verified by testing.展开更多

Because of ambiguous and abundance of the Web log file, the least decision making model based on rough set theory was presented for Web mining. And an example was given to explain the model. The model can predigest the decision making table, so that the least solution of the table can be acquired. According to the least solution, the corresponding decision for individual service can be made in sequence. Web mining based on rough set theory is also currently the original and particular method.展开更多

New models were introduced to utilize the data sets stored in the new generations of databases. These models have a deep impact on evolving decision-support systems. But they suffer a variety of practical problems while accessing real-world data sources. Specifically a type of data storage model based on data distribution theory has been increasingly used in recent years by large-scale enterprises, while it is not compatible with existing decision-support models. This data storage model stores the data in different geographical sites where they are more regularly accessed. This leads to considerably less inter-site data transfer that can reduce data security issues in some circumstances and also significantly improve data manipulation transactions speed. The aim of this paper is to propose a new approach for supporting proactive decision-making that utilizes a workable data source management methodology. The new model can effectively organize and use complex data sources, even when they are distributed in different sites in a fragmented form. At the same time, the new model provides a very high level of intellectual management decision-support by intelligent use of the data collections through utilizing new smart methods in synthesizing useful knowledge. The results of an empirical study to evaluate the model are provided.展开更多
