Traditional hard computing data mining techniques have concentrated on flat-file applications. Soft computing tools-such as fuzzy sets, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, and rough sets-however, offer the opportunity to apply a wide range of data types to a variety of vital functions by handling real-life uncertainty with low-cost solutions. Data Mining: Multimedia, Soft Computing, and Bioinformatics provides an accessible introduction to fundamental and advanced data mining technologies. This readable survey describes data mining strategies for a slew of data types, including numeric and alpha-numeric formats, text, images, video, graphics, and the mixed representations therein. Along with traditional concepts and functions of data mining-like classification, clustering, and rule mining-the authors highlight topical issues in multimedia applications and bioinformatics. Principal topics discussed throughout the text include:
