Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques, Fourth Edition introduces concepts, principles, and methods for mining patterns, knowledge, and models from various kinds of data for diverse applications. Specifically, it delves into the processes for uncovering patterns and knowledge from massive collections of data, known as knowledge discovery from data, or KDD. It focuses on the feasibility, usefulness, effectiveness, and scalability of data mining techniques for large data sets.

After an introduction to the concept of data mining, the authors explain the methods for preprocessing, characterizing, and warehousing data. They then partition the data mining methods into several major tasks, introducing concepts and methods for mining frequent patterns, associations, and correlations for large data sets; data classificcation and model construction; cluster analysis; and outlier detection. Concepts and methods for deep learning are systematically introduced as one chapter. Finally, the book covers the trends, applications, and research frontiers in data mining.

Business operations in large organizations today involve massive, interactive, and layered networks of teams and personnel collaborating across hierarchies and countries on complex tasks. To optimize productivity, businesses need to know: what communication patterns do high-performing teams have in common? Is it possible to predict a team's performance before it starts work on a project? How can productive team behavior be fostered? This comprehensive review for researchers and practitioners in data mining and social networks surveys recent progress in the emerging field of network science of teams. Focusing on the underlying social network structure, the authors present models and algorithms characterizing, predicting, optimizing, and explaining team performance, along with key applications, open challenges, and future trends.

This SpringerBrief presents a typical life-cycle of mobile data mining applications, including:data capturing and processing which determines what data to collect, how to collect these data, and how to reduce the noise in the data based on smartphone sensorsfeature engineering which extracts and selects features to serve as the input of algorithms based on the collected and processed datamodel and algorithm designIn particular, this brief concentrates on the model and algorithm design aspect, and explains three challenging requirements of mobile data mining applications: energy-saving, personalization, and real-timeEnergy saving is a fundamental requirement of mobile applications, due to the limited battery capacity of smartphones. The authors  explore the existing practices in the methodology level (e.g. by designing hierarchical models) for saving energy. Another fundamental requirement of mobile applications is personalization.  Most of the existing methods tend to train generic models for all users, but the authors provide existing personalized treatments for mobile applications, as the behaviors may differ greatly from one user to another in many mobile applications. The third requirement is real-time. That is, the mobile application should return responses in a real-time manner, meanwhile balancing effectiveness and efficiency.This SpringerBrief targets data mining and machine learning researchers and practitioners working in these related fields. Advanced level students studying computer science and electrical engineering will also find this brief useful as a study guide.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Computational Data and Social Networks, CSoNet 2019, held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in November 2019. The 22 full and 8 short papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 120 submissions.

Moreover, the complexity of the connectivity would predominantly affect the hardness of connectivity optimization, which is a fundamental problem for network connectivity studies.

This book explores various aspects of knowledge graph reasoning to solve different tasks, encompassing first, traditional symbolic methods for knowledge graph reasoning; second, recent developments in neural-based knowledge graph reasoning techniques; and third, cutting-edge advancements in neural-symbolic hybrid approaches to knowledge graph reasoning. The authors focus on the model and algorithm design aspect and study knowledge graphs from two perspectives: background knowledge graph and input query. Knowledge graph reasoning, which aims to infer and discover new knowledge from existing information in the knowledge graph, has played an important role in many real-world applications, such as question answering and recommender systems. A new trend in knowledge graph reasoning is the combination of neural models with symbolic knowledge graphs, allowing for the design of models that are not only efficient and accurate, but also interpretable. In this book, the authors study the application of neural-symbolic knowledge reasoning to different tasks from two perspectives: the input query and the background knowledge graph.

The four-volume set, LNAI 16597-16600 constitutes the proceedings of the 30th Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, PAKDD 2026, held in Hong Kong, China, during June 9–12, 2026.The 184 full papers presented in this book were carefully selected and reviewed from 728 submissions. This program featured three tracks, the Main Track, the Survey Track, and the Special Track on LLMs for Data Science. The Main Track continued its tradition of being the premier forum for the presentation of research results and experience reports on knowledge discovery, data science, and machine learning.The Survey Track was introduced in 2025 for the first time, to promote the dissemination of insightful survey papers: survey papers are intended to provide a structured synthesis of a particular topic in the area of data mining, including but not limited to theoretical foundations of mining, inference, and learning, big data technologies, as well as security, privacy, and integrity, for the perusal of junior researchers and of experts from other research fields.As the rapid advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have opened new avenues for innovation and research across various domains, particularly in the field of data science, we introduced the Special Track on LLMs, which aimed to explore the transformative potential of LLMs for data science, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to discuss the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in this rapidly growing area.
