In an effort to identify some of the most influential algorithms that have been widely used in the data mining community, the IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM, ∼icdm/) identified the top 10 algorithms in data mining for presentation at ICDM ’06 in Hong Kong. This book presents these top 10 data mining algorithms: , k-Means, SVM, Apriori, EM, PageRank, AdaBoost, kNN, Na¨ıve Bayes, and CART. As the first step in the identification process, in September 2006 we invited theACM KDD Innovation Award and IEEE ICDM Research Contributions Award winners to each nominate up to 10 best-known algorithms in.
