Oracle Data Mining Update
September 5, 2011
The new Oracle Data Mining Update is generating buzz, including a piece by James Taylor entitled, “First Look – Oracle Data Mining Update.” Oracle Data Mining (ODM) is an in-database data mining and predictive analytics engine, which allows for the building of predictive models. The features added in the latest version are highlighted.
The fundamental architecture has not changed, of course. ODM remains a “database-out” solution surfaced through SQL and PL-SQL APIs and executing in the database. It has the 12 algorithms and 50+ statistical functions I discussed before and model building and scoring are both done in-database. Oracle Text functions are integrated to allow text mining algorithms to take advantage of them. Additionally, because ODM mines star schema data it can handle an unlimited number of input attributes, transactional data and unstructured data such as CLOBs, tables or views.
The ability of ODM to build and executive analytic models completely in-database is a real plus in the market. The software would be a good candidate for anyone interested in using predictive analytics to take advantage of their operational data.
