D 2 . 2 . 5 MineSet

D2.2.5.1 Abstract MineSetTM is a commercial data mining product from Silicon Graphics. It provides an interactive platform for data mining, integrating three powerful technologies: database and file access, analytical data mining engines, and data visualization. MineSet supports the knowledge discovery process from data access and preparation through iterative analysis and visualization to deployment. MineSet uses a clientserver architecture for scalability and support of large data. The data access component provides a rich set of transformations that can be used to process stored data into forms appropriate for visualization and analytical mining. MineSet’s 2D and 3D visualization capabilities allow direct data visualization for exploratory analysis. The analytical mining algorithms create models that can be viewed using visualization tools specialized for the learned models or deployed as part of a larger system. Third party vendors can interface to the MineSet tools for model deployment and for integration with other packages.
