Visual Knowledge Generation from Data Mining Patterns for Decision-Making

Abstract

The visual data mining based decision support systems had already been recognized in literature. It allows users analysing large information spaces to support complex decision-making. Prior research provides frameworks focused on simply representing extracted patterns. In this paper, we present a new model for visually generating knowledge from these patterns and communicating it for intelligent decision-making. To prove the practicality of the proposed model, it was applied in the medical field to fight against nosocomial infections in the intensive care units.
