Data Classification

Research on the problem of classification tends to be fragmented across such areas as pattern recognition, database, data mining, and machine learning. Addressing the work of these different communities in a unified way, this book explores the underlying algorithms of classification as well as applications of classification in a variety of problem domains, including text, multimedia, social network, and biological data. It presents core methods in data classification, covers recent problem domains, and discusses advanced methods for enhancing the quality of the underlying classification results.
