Data mining is the science and technology of exploring large and complex bodies of data in order to discover useful patterns. It is extremely important because it enables modeling and knowledge extraction from abundant data availability. Soft Computing for Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining introduces soft computing methods extending the envelope of problems that data mining can solve efficiently. It presents practical soft-computing approaches in data mining. This edited volume by highly regarded authors, includes several contributors of the 2005, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Handbook. This book was written to provide investigators in the fields of information systems, engineering, computer science, statistics and management with a profound source for the role of soft computing in data mining. Not only does this book feature illustrations of various applications including manufacturing, medical, banking, insurance and others, but also includes various real-world case studies with detailed results. Soft Computing for Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining is designed for practitioners and researchers in industry.Practitioners and researchers may be particularly interested in the description of real world data mining projects performed with soft computing.This book is also suitable as a secondary textbook or reference for advanced-level students in information systems, engineering, computer science and statistics management.

This book explores a proactive and domain-driven method to classification tasks. This novel proactive approach to data mining not only induces a model for predicting or explaining a phenomenon, but also utilizes specific problem/domain knowledge to suggest specific actions to achieve optimal changes in the value of the target attribute. In particular, the authors suggest a specific implementation of the domain-driven proactive approach for classification trees. The book centers on the core idea of moving observations from one branch of the tree to another. It introduces a novel splitting criterion for decision trees, termed maximal-utility, which maximizes the potential for enhancing profitability in the output tree. Two real-world case studies, one of a leading wireless operator and the other of a major security company, are also included and demonstrate how applying the proactive approach to classification tasks can solve business problems. Proactive Data Mining with Decision Trees is intended for researchers, practitioners and advanced-level students.

This book is a major update to the very successful first and second editions (2005 and 2010) of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Handbook.  Since the last edition, this field has continued to evolve and to gain popularity. Existing methods are constantly being improved and new methods, applications and aspects are introduced.  The new title of this handbook and its content reflect these changes thoroughly. Some existing chapters have been brought up to date. In addition to major revision of the existing chapters, the new edition includes totally new topics, such as: deep learning, explainable AI, human factors and social issues and advanced methods for big-data. The significant enhancement to the content reflects the growth in importance of data science. The third edition is also a timely opportunity to incorporate many other changes based on peers and students’ feedback.This comprehensive handbook also presents a coherent and unified repository of data science major concepts, theories, methods, trends, challenges and applications.  It covers all the crucial important machine learning methods used in data science.Today's accessibility and abundance of data make data science matters of considerable importance and necessity. Given the field's recent growth, it's not surprising that researchers and practitioners now have a wide range of methods and tools at their disposal. While statistics is fundamental for data science, methods originated from artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning, are also playing a significant role.This handbook aims to serve as the main reference for researchers in the fields of information technology, e-Commerce, information retrieval, data science, machine learning, data mining, databases and statistics as well as advanced level students studying computer science or electrical engineering.  Practitioners working within these related fields and data scientists will also want to purchase this handbook as a reference.
