If you want a sense of the fuzzy, "enterprise" side of this field, skimming through one of the books on a vendor product, like SAS's Enterprise Miner or SPSS's Clementine, may help. I wouldn't recommend buying them unless you're going to work with the product itself. | |

The catch is, it's from 1997! Note an indictment of the paper or your recommendation, but the degree to which I have kept up with data mining. It sounds like I need to grab a current book on data mining to catch up. | |
