On interactive data mining

Abstract

While many data mining models concentrate on automation and efficiency, interactive data mining models should focus on adaptive and effective communications between human users and computer systems. The crucial point is not how intelligent users are, or how efficient, systems are, but how well these two parts can be connected, adapted, understood and trusted. Some fundamental issues including processes and forms of interactive data mining, roles, requirements, as well as complexities of interactive data mining systems are discussed in this paper.
