Data Mining X: Data Mining, Protection, Detection and other Security Technologies Book

""Data Mining X: Data Mining, Protection, Detection and Other Security Technologies" contains the proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Data Mining, Detection, Protection and Security.

The conference provided a platform to discuss the theory and applications of data mining, with emphasis on real applications. Image search and processing, complex networks, knowledge discovery and new analysis in safety and security are, for example, important research areas of renewed and expanding interest.

New areas of data mining application have gradually moved to textual data mining (Text mining) and applications to the Web (Web mining). Recently the 'explosion' of YouTube and FaceBook utilization, for example, has pointed out the importance of the application of data mining to Video (Video mining). In this way, the principal areas of applications now vary from 'The Voice of Customer' (Marketing), to 'Intelligence for National Security'. The Mumbai attacks, for instance, illustrate that data mining applied to video could represent a way of preventing terrorist actions. All this shows the growing importance of data mining in our society, with the result of it becoming more pervasive.
