Funded Activity Summary

Unsupervised learning of finite mixture models in data mining applications. The extraction of useful information from massively large databases is known as data mining. Its broad but vague goal is to find "interesting structure" in the data, which typically leads to breaking the data into clusters. To this end, we consider the fast, efficient, and automatic learning of finite mixture models in hugh data sets without any prior knowledge of the structure. This probabilistic approach to the discovery and validation of group structure in data mining applications will considerably enhance knowledge management and decision support in science, industry, and government.
