Data Mining

• R. Agrawal, R. Srikant. Fast Algorithms for Mining Association Rules in Large Databases. VLDB 1994 . We are reading this paper because it is the classic example of the database view of data mining.
• Tian Zhang, Raghu Ramakrishnan, Miron Livny. BIRCH: An Efficient Data Clustering Method for Very Large Databases. Proc. SIGMOD Conference, 1996, 103-114. We are reading this paper because it is a good example of another data mining problem, in this case clustering. Don't worry about the different kinds of distances in section 3. If you're curious, read section 3 carefully, but for our purposes, just know that they are different distance metrics. You may skip sections 5.1.1, and skim section 6.
