Abstract

Interactive data mining can be a powerful tool for data analysis. But in this short opinion piece I argue that this power comes with new pitfalls that can undermine the value of interactive mining, if not properly addressed. Most notably, there is a serious risk that the user of powerful interactive data mining tools will only find the results she was expecting. The purpose of this piece is to raise awareness of this potential issue, stimulate discussion on it, and hopefully give rise to new research directions in addressing it.
