Mining Rich Data Types

Curated by: Huan Liu


The very first issue of data mining and knowledge discovery is to properly handle data. It is essential to take into account different data types. Rich data types can be categorized into: non-dependency and dependency data. The non-dependency data is the most commonly encountered type, which refers to data without specified dependencies between data instances. In other words, data instances are or are assumed independent and identically distributed. Examples of non-dependency data include multidimensional data, text data, and image data. In practice, data can be more complex, and there exists dependency between data instances. Dependency data can be correlated with temporal, spatial, sequential, and social relationships such as time-series, sequence, graph, multi-media, and social-media data.Publications
