What kind of API does Oracle9i Data Mining use?
Automation of data mining tasks is facilitated by Oracle9i Data Mining’s Java-based API. Application programmers can control all aspects of data mining. They can expose complex settings for advanced users or completely automate the process for business users. Programmatic control extends from data preparation and model building to on-demand scoring of single records and batch scoring of large data sets. Batch scores may be stored in relational tables for access by other business applications (e.g. call centers or marketing campaign systems) or called “on-demand” in interactive applications where new information is collected that must be factored in the predictive model.
