Summary

Professor Liu Peng of the China Big Data Expert Committee, together with teachers engaged in frontline teaching and research at hundreds of universities nationwide, has compiled an Advanced Big Data Talent Development series. This book is one volume of that series, positioned around big data mining techniques and applications. It systematically introduces data mining algorithm theories and methods, tools, and applications, including classic data mining algorithms, optimization of commonly used data mining algorithms in big data environments, data analysis methods emerging under the new normal of big data (such as recommender systems, link analysis and web page ranking, Internet information extraction, and log mining and query analysis), and tools and applications. This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in related majors. Vocational and technical colleges may also select portions of its content for teaching. It is also well suited as a self-study book for big data analysis R&D personnel.

Editor's review

Data Mining, written by Wang Zhaoxia and published by Publishing House of Electronics Industry, is a practical textbook aimed at undergraduates. The book systematically organizes the core concepts, methods, and applications of data mining, covering classic topics such as data preprocessing, association analysis, classification, and clustering. In writing, the author fully considers the cognitive patterns of beginners, breaking complex algorithms into easy-to-understand steps and supplementing them with illustrative examples.

From a professional perspective, the book's strength lies in its clear logical framework and moderate theoretical depth. It does not get bogged down in cumbersome mathematical derivations but focuses on explaining the principles and practical significance of methods, enabling readers to quickly build an overall understanding of the field of data mining. The cases selected in the book are close to reality and help readers understand how technology solves business and scientific problems.

However, the book's limitation is that it covers relatively little frontier progress (such as the application of deep learning in data mining), making it more suitable as a systematic reader for the introductory stage. Its value lies in laying a solid foundation for readers and cultivating data thinking rather than serving as a manual of cutting-edge technology. Overall, this is a reliable teaching reference book, especially suitable for readers who need a systematic introduction or who teach related courses.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Lower-division undergraduate students in computer science or data science-related majors
  • Technology enthusiasts who want a systematic understanding of the basic concepts and methods of data mining
  • Business analysts with non-technical backgrounds who need to understand the logic of data mining
  • University teachers who teach related courses and need a clearly structured textbook

Not a good fit for

  • Senior researchers seeking implementation details of advanced algorithms or the latest research developments
  • Purely hands-on developers who want to quickly master practical programming skills and urgently need code examples

Reading tips

  1. Read in chapter order, focusing on understanding the core ideas and applicable scenarios of each method
  2. Combine reading with preliminary practice using the simple datasets provided in the book or public standard datasets
  3. When encountering algorithm descriptions, try reinterpreting their application value using business scenarios you are familiar with
