Project cInQ --- consortium on knowledge discovery by Inductive Queries

Abstract

Within the framework of inductive databases, knowledge discovery is considered as an extended querying process: from the user point of view, there is no such thing as real discovery, just a matter of the expressive power of the query languages. Today, proposed models for inductive queries are rather preliminary. Therefore, in cInQ, both theoretical and practical issues of this approach will be studied in depth. The ultimate goal is to define the fundamental (querying) primitives for database mining. In a sense, we are looking for the equivalent of Codd's introduction of the relational algebra but with database mining in mind instead of transactional processing. To ensure the genericity, we will study inductive extensions for different querying paradigms and the evaluation of applicability on various data mining tasks as well.
