Role and Applications of Genetic Algorithm in Data Mining
Gunjan Verma, Vineeta Verma · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2012
Data mining has as goal to extract knowledge from large databases.To extract this knowledge, a database may be considered as a large search space, and a mining algorithm as a search strategy.In general, a search space consists of an enormous number of elements, making an exhaustive search infeasible.Therefore, efficient search strategies are of vital importance.Search strategies based on genetic-based algorithms have been applied successfully in a wide range of applications.In this paper, we discuss the suitability of genetic-based algorithms for data mining.We discuss the various application areas where genetic Algorithm plays evolutionary role with data mining technique and explain them in details.
