What Data Miners Mine
September 10, 2009
KDNuggets focuses on useful information about machine processing of data and text. The Web site published a summary of visitor-provided information. The focus of the poll was answering the question, “What type of data are you processing?” The summary held two surprises for me. First, monitoring Web click stream data was gaining popularity but lagged far behind the processing of tabular data. You can get the poll data at “Data Types Analyzed / Mined Poll”. Second, the data type “Music / Audio” enjoyed a significant increase. Interesting. The mining of structured data holds the top spot, followed by time series data.
