HERSHEY, PA - October 17, 2007 - IGI Global, publisher of scholarly and research books, is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the newest book from its IGI Publishing Imprint, Successes and New Directions in Data Mining, edited by Florent Masseglia, Projet AxIS-INRIA, Pascal Poncelet, Ecole des Mines d'Ales, and Maguelonne Teisseire, Universite Montpellier.

This book provides theoretical frameworks and present challenges and their possible solutions concerning knowledge extraction. Successes and New Directions in Data Mining gives the reader an overall view of the recent existing solutions for data mining with a particular emphasis on the potential real-world applications.

The problem of mining patterns is becoming a very active research area and efficient techniques have been widely applied to problems in industry, government, and science.

"As the number of digital data is always growing, the problem of the efficiency of mining such patterns becomes more and more attractive," say Masseglia, Poncelet, and Teisseire.

Successes and New Directions in Data Mining addresses existing solutions for data mining, with particular emphasis on potential real-world applications. Capturing defining research on topics such as fuzzy set theory, clustering algorithms, semi-supervised clustering, modeling and managing data mining patterns, and sequence motif mining, this book is an indispensable resource for library collections.

Selected Chapters:

• Pattern Mining and Clustering on Image Databases
• Visualizing Multi Dimensional Data
• Privacy Preserving Data Mining, Concepts, Techniques, and Evaluation Methodologies
• Why Fuzzy Set Theory is Useful in Data Mining
• Using Mined Patterns for XML Query Answering
