Data Mining: What is Data Mining? Overview Generally, data mining (sometimes called data or knowledge discovery) is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information - information that can be used to increase revenue, cuts costs, or both. Data mining software is one of a number of analytical tools for analyzing data. It allows users to analyze data from many different dimensions or angles, categorize it, and summarize the relationships identified

Turing, A.M. (1950). Computing machinery and intelligence. Mind, 59, 433-460. COMPUTING MACHINERY AND INTELLIGENCE By A. M. Turing 1. The Imitation Game I propose to consider the question, "Can machines think?" This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms "machine" and "think." The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous, If the meaning of the words "machine" and "think" are to be found

Introduction The profound importance for microorganisms to operate at a maximum efficiency has lead to adaptations allowing for groups of processes to be functional when resources are available, while on the contrary remaining “dormant” when not in need. This has been accomplished at the molecular level by configuring clusters of genes together on the genome into operons that elicit a processive response in the presence of a specific metabolite. The Lac operon is responsible for the cleaving of

t Recently, high profile cases of financial statement fraud have been dominating the news. This paper uses data mining techniques such as Multilayer Feed Forward Neural Network (MLFF), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Genetic Programming (GP), Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH), Logistic Regression (LR), and Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) to identify companies that resort to financial statement fraud. Each of these techniques is tested on a dataset involving 202 Chinese companies and compared with

Huntington’s Disease Personal Reference: Down in the Neurology department sat four family members patiently waiting for what seems to be a never-ending check up. As the doctor’s office door peaked open my mother and aunt both walked out with despairing eyes. When I looked up the doctor was handing my mother a best-known neurologist information card. At that moment silence broke out amongst us, as we knew a whole new life experience was on our hands. At age 34 my Aunt Eve was diagnosed with Huntington’s

Galactosemia is a genetic disease in which the body is unable to metabolize a food sugar called galactose. This genetically inherited disorder follows an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Due to the mutation in a certain gene, there is a deficiency of galactose-1- phosphate uridylyltransferase enzyme (GALT), which is essential for the conversion of galactose to glucose. This deficiency will result in the accumulation of galactose in blood, a condition called classic Galactosemia (a common
