Mainstream data mining techniques significantly limit the role of
human reasoning and insight. Likewise, in data visualization, the role
of computational analysis is relatively small. The power demonstrated
individually by these approaches to knowledge discovery suggests that
somehow uniting the two could lead to increased efficiency and more
valuable results. But is this true? How might it be achieved? And what
are the consequences for data-dependent enterprises?

Information Visualization in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery is
the first book to ask and answer these thought-provoking questions. It
is also the first book to explore the fertile ground of uniting data
mining and data visualization principles in a new set of knowledge
discovery techniques. Leading researchers from the fields of data
mining, data visualization, and statistics present findings organized
around topics introduced in two recent international knowledge
discovery and data mining workshops. Collected and edited by three of
the area's most influential figures, these chapters introduce the
concepts and components of visualization, detail current efforts to
include visualization and user interaction in data mining, and explore
the potential for further synthesis of data mining algorithms and data
visualization techniques. This incisive, ground breaking research is
sure to wield a strong influence in subsequent efforts in both
academic and corporate settings.
