The knowledge gained from data mining is highly dependent on the experience of an expert for further analysis to increase effectiveness and wise decision-making. This mined knowledge requires actionability enhancement before it can be applied to real-world problems. The literature highlights the reasons that emerged the need to incorporate human wisdom in decision-making for complex problems. To solve this problem, a domain called ‘Wisdom Mining’ is recommended, proposing a set of algorithms parallel to the algorithms proposed by the data mining. In wisdom mining, a process to extract wisdom needs to be defined with less influence from an expert. This review proposed improvements to data mining techniques and their applications in the real world and emphasised the need to seek ways to harness wisdom from data. This study covers the diverse definitions and different perspectives of wisdom within philosophy, psychology, management and computer science. This comprehensive literature review served as a foundation for constructing a wise decision framework that aided in identifying the wisdom factors like context, utility, location and time. The inclusion of these wisdom factors in existing data mining algorithms makes the transition from data mining to wisdom mining possible. This research includes the relationship between these two mining process that facilitated further elucidation of the wisdom mining process. Potential research trends in the domain are also seen as a potential endeavour to improve the analysis and use of data.

Wood materials have been used in many products such as furniture, stairs, windows, and doors for centuries. There are differences in methods used to adapt wood to ambient conditions. Impregnation is a widely used method of wood preservation. In terms of efficiency, it is critical to optimize the parameters for impregnation. Data mining techniques reduce most of the cost and operational challenges with accurate prediction in the wood industry. In this study, three data-mining algorithms were applied to predict bending strength in impregnated wood materials (Pinus sylvestris L. and Millettia laurentii). Models were created from real experimental data to examine the relationship between bending strength, diffusion time, vacuum duration, and wood type, based on decision trees (DT), random forest (RF), and Gaussian process (GP) algorithms. The highest bending strength was achieved with wenge (Millettia laurentii) wood in 10 bar vacuum and the diffusion condition during 25 min. The results showed that all algorithms are suitable for predicting bending strength. The goodness of fit for the testing phase was determined as 0.994, 0.986, and 0.989 in the DT, RF, and GP algorithms, respectively. Moreover, the importance of attributes was determined in the algorithms.

One of the problems found in generic project databases, where the data is collected from different organizations, is the large disparity of its instances. In this chapter, we characterize the database selecting both attributes and instances so that project managers can have a better global vision of the data they manage. To achieve that, we first make use of data mining algorithms to create clusters. From each cluster, instances are selected to obtain a final subset of the database. The result of the process is a smaller database which maintains the prediction capability and has a lower number of instances and attributes than the original, yet allow us to produce better predictions.

Data mining attempts to identify valid, novel, potentially useful, and ultimately understandable patterns from huge volume of data. The mined patterns must be ultimately understandable because the purpose of data mining is to aid decision-making. If the decision-makers cannot understand what does a mined pattern mean, then the pattern cannot be used well. Since most decision-makers are not data mining experts, ideally, the patterns should be in a style comprehensible to common people. So, comprehensibility of data mining algorithms, that is, the ability of a data mining algorithm to produce patterns understandable to human beings, is an important factor.

In a digitized world, data is growing exponentially and it is difficult to analyze the data and give the results. Data mining techniques play an important role in healthcare sector - BigData. By making use of Data mining algorithms it is possible to analyze, detect and predict the presence of disease which helps doctors to detect the disease early and in decision making. The objective of data mining techniques used is to design an automated tool that notifies the patient’s treatment history disease and medical data to doctors. Data mining techniques are very much useful in analyzing medical data to achieve meaningful and practical patterns. This project works on diabetes medical data, classification and clustering algorithms like (OPTICS, NAIVEBAYES, and BRICH) are implemented and the efficiency of the same is examined.

Data mining is the practice of examining unknown patterns of data according to diverse viewpoints for classification into valuable information, which is composed and gathered in collective areas, such as data warehouses.For effective analysis, data mining algorithms enabling business decision making and other information necessities to eventually cut costs and raise revenue. Sentiment analysis is the method of defining the emotional tone behind a sequence of words, used to gain an accepting of the attitudes, opinions and emotions conveyed within an online mention. Sentiment analysis is tremendously useful in social media observing as it allows us to gain a synopsis of the broader public opinion behind definite topics. The applications of sentiment analysis are extensive and influential. The ability to abstract insights from social data is a practice that is being broadly adopted by organizations across the world. In this paper, we focused on sentiment analysis on the twitter data.

Aerodynamic is a branch of fluid dynamics that evaluates the behavior of airflow and its interaction with moving objects. The most important application of aerodynamic is in aerospace engineering, designing and construction of flying objects. Reduction of noise emitted by aerodynamic objects is one of the most important challenges in this area and many efforts have been to reduce its negative effects. The prediction of noise emitted from these aerodynamic objects is a low-cost and fast approach that can partially replace the "fabrication and testing" phase. One of the most common and successful tools in prediction procedures is data mining technology. In this paper, the performance of different data mining algorithms such as Random Forest, J48, RBF Network, SVM, MLP, Logistic, and Bagging is evaluated in predicting the amount of noise emitted from aerodynamic objects. The experiments are conducted on a dataset collected by NASA, which is called "Airfoil Self-Noise". The obtained results illustrate that the proposed hybrid model derived from the combination of Random Forest and Bagging algorithms has better performance compared to other methods with an accuracy of 77.6% and mean absolute error of 0.2279.
