Title: "Knowledge Discovery and Datamining in a Data Warehouse of Representative Mental Health Problems"

Abstract: 
Data mining is the process of extracting patterns from data. Data mining is becoming an increasingly important tool to transform the data into information. It is commonly used in a wide range of profiling practices, such as marketing, surveillance, fraud detection and scientific discovery. 

One of the most challenging problems of the information society is dealing with the increasing data overload.It has become important for companies, governments and individuals to be able to discriminate information from noise, detecting those data that are useful or interesting.


The development of profiling technologies must be seen against this background. These technologies are thought to efficiently collect and analyse data in order to find or test knowledge in the form of statistical patterns between data. This process is called Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD)  which provides the profiler with sets of correlated data that are used as “profiles”.

The KDD process will be ineffective if the samples are not a good representation of the larger body of data.Profiling is thus a matter of computerized pattern recognition.What characterizes profiling technologies is the use of algorithms or other mathematical techniques that allow one to discover patterns or correlations in large quantities of data, aggregated in data bases. 

The seminar deals with applying the same concepts to meet the objective - Knowledge Discovery and Datamining in a Data Warehouse of Representative Mental Health Problems.The usage of some statistical tools like SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), IBM and GLUCTO will also be dealt.

Seems to be mixture of engineering and medical ,interdomain topic
Its from IEEE paper year 2008
It could be accepted
At best this can be stuff for 5 minutes exposition on data mining. Kindly add some examples where in
1. data mining has produced results
2. regularly used
3. some experiencial/experiemental data - how much data was mined to discover something useful
4. can data mining discoveries can be predicted.
on a scale of 1-10, the presentation in its current form may attract 1 point
