Abstract

Data mining is one of the most important steps of the knowledge discovery in databases process and is considered as significant subfield in knowledge management. Research in data mining continues growing in business and in learning organization over coming decades. This review paper explores the applications of data mining techniques which have been developed to support knowledge management process. The journal articles indexed in ScienceDirect Database from 2007 to 2012 are analyzed and classified. The discussion on the findings is divided into 4 topics: (i) knowledge resource; (ii) knowledge types and/or knowledge datasets; (iii) data mining tasks; and (iv) data mining techniques and applications used in knowledge management. The article first briefly describes the definition of data mining and data mining functionality. Then the knowledge management rationale and major knowledge management tools integrated in knowledge management cycle are described. Finally, the applications of data mining techniques in the process of knowledge management are summarized and discussed.

VectorMaton: Efficient Vector Search with Pattern Constraints via an Enhanced Suffix Automaton

Approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) has become a cornerstone in modern vector database systems. Given a query vector, ANNS retrieves the closest vectors from a set of base vectors. In real-world applications, vectors are often accompanied by additional information, such as sequences or structured attributes, motivating the need for fine-grained vector search with constraints on this auxiliary data. Existing methods support attribute-based filtering or range-based filtering on categorical and numerical attributes, but they do not support pattern predicates over sequence attributes. In relational databases, predicates such as LIKE and CONTAINS are fundamental operators for filtering records based on substring patterns. As vector databases increasingly adopt SQL-style query interfaces, enabling pattern predicates over sequence attributes (e.g., texts and biological sequences) alongside vector similarity search becomes essential. In this paper, we formulate a novel problem: given a set of vectors each associated with a sequence, retrieve the nearest vectors whose sequences contain a given query pattern. To address this challenge, we propose VectorMaton, an automaton-based index that integrates pattern filtering with efficient vector search, while maintaining an index size comparable to the dataset size. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that VectorMaton consistently outperforms all baselines, achieving up to 10x higher query throughput at the same accuracy and up to 18x reduction in index size.

Efficient K-generalizable Learned Search

Learned top-K search improves the accuracy-latency trade-off of graph-based vector search, but existing methods are designed for a fixed K: serving production workloads with varying K values requires preprocessing cost proportional to the number of distinct Ks served - prohibitive in practice. This paper shows that learned search can support arbitrary K with the preprocessing cost of a single top-1 model. The key idea is to reduce top-K learned search to repeated masked top-1 refinement, which works because the distance-reduction trajectory for discovering the next top-1 vector is largely invariant to the number of results already found. We therefore train the model on trajectory features that remain effective under masking. To make repeated refinement robust and efficient, OMEGA counters error accumulation across iterations with rank-wise confidence allocation, and skips unnecessary model invocations with a statistical forecast of recall from partial results. Across nine dataset-scale configurations, OMEGA meets the 0.95 recall target with one K-independent model. Under the lowest-preprocessing configuration of each learned baseline,it reduces mean latency by 7-36% versus DARTH, 3-25% versus MultiK-DARTH, and 8-21% versus LAET on BIGANN, BIGANN-1B, DEEP, and three production workloads. On GIST, Text2Image, and MS MARCO, its latency remains within 9% of DARTH and MultiK-DARTH. On production traces, OMEGA further reduces total serving and preprocessing computation by up to 28%.

Samyama: A Unified Graph-Vector Database with In-Database Optimization, Agentic Enrichment, and Hardware Acceleration

Modern data architectures fragment across graph databases, vector stores, analytics engines and optimization solvers, forcing ETL between them. We present Samyama, a graph-vector database in Rust that unifies these workloads in one engine: a RocksDB-backed store with MVCC, a vectorized executor, a cost-based planner, a CSR analytics engine, RDF and SPARQL, 22 metaheuristic solvers callable from the query language, HNSW vector indexing, and agentic enrichment that expands a graph via LLMs. It has been run to billion-edge scale: 74.3M nodes and 1.07B edges from four biomedical sources on one machine for $2.50 of spot compute. This version re-measures the system at release v1.8.0 on rented Linux hosts a reader can boot, replacing earlier figures taken on a Mac Mini that nobody could re-run. On a 16-vCPU cloud instance, ingestion reaches 123K-152K nodes/s and PageRank costs 6.7 ms per iteration at ten thousand nodes and 236 ms at a million. The previously reported 8.2x GPU speedup is withdrawn; in its place we measure the CUDA path, which no earlier version measured at all, on a rented NVIDIA A16: parity with the CPU at ten thousand nodes, 1.62x at a hundred thousand and 2.70x at a million, with 1.1-1.35 s of context initialisation on the first call. The earlier Cypher-throughput figure, its claim of near-constant index-driven scaling, and a vector-search figure are withdrawn as unreproducible. openCypher conformance, once estimated at ~90%, is now measured at 99.9% of evaluated TCK scenarios. Against Neo4j 5 and FalkorDB on one host over an identical SF10 extract, 14 of 14 SNB complex reads land within 5x of the best competitor and 7 of 14 are faster.
