Mining Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Datasets: Challenges and Approaches

Explore the unique challenges and techniques of mining spatial and spatio-temporal datasets in this comprehensive lecture presented by Shashi Shekhar at the University of Central Florida. Delve into the fundamentals of spatial data mining, including hotspots, spatial clusters, and outliers. Examine predictive models and learn about the relationships between data in spatial data mining. Gain insights into spatial autocorrelation, statistical foundations, and research challenges in spatial statistics. Discover three general approaches to spatial data mining and their applications in location prediction. Investigate open problems in spatial classification, clustering, and association rules, while understanding the importance of spatial-concept and theory-aware patterns.
