Abstract: |
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for data mining including a feedback mechanism for monitoring performance of mining tasks. A user selected mining technique type is received for the data mining operation. A quality measure type is identified for the user selected mining technique type. The user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation is processed and a quality indicator is measured using the quality measure type. The measured quality indicator is displayed while processing the user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation.

What is claimed is:
1. A method for displaying a visual quality indicator for a data mining operation, said method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation, said user selected mining technique type being used to analyze a collection of data for the data mining operation;
- identifying a quality measure type for said user selected mining technique type;
- processing said user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation and measuring a quality indicator using said quality measure type;
- displaying said measured quality indicator while processing said user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation; and
- wherein said step of identifying said quality measure type for said user selected mining technique type includes the steps of
- checking for a user selected quality measure type; and
- utilizing an identified user selected quality measure type for said user selected mining technique type for the data mining operation; said user selected mining technique type comprising one of association, sequential patterns, classification, clustering/segmentation, and value prediction.
