ONE-STEP DATA MINING WITH NATURAL LANGUAGE SPECIFICATION AND RESULTS

摘要

A method and apparatus in various embodiments for controlling a data mining operation by specifying the goal of data mining in natural language, processing the data mining operation without any further input beyond the problem specification, and displaying key performance results of a data mining operation in natural language. One embodiment includes provides a user interface having a control for receiving natural language input describing the goal of the data mining operation from the control on the user interface (130). A second embodiment identifies key performance results, providing a user interface having a control for communicating information, and communicating a natural language description of the key performance results using the control on the user interface (910). In a third embodiment input data determining a data mining operation goal is the only input required by the data mining application (410).
