Short Description of Project

In the following, we provide a short description to project DS4DM.

Introduction

The research project DS4DM (Data Search for Data Mining) was sponsored by the German ministry of education and research. The project ran from August 2015 till July 2018. The project partners included RapidMiner GmbH and the University of Mannheim (Data and Web Science Group). The project developed novel methods to enrich data in automatic and semi-automatic manner, and extracting data tables out of non-trivial document formats. These challenging goals were reached through varying degrees of generalizations. The outcome of the project included several RapidMiner extensions as following:

Data Search for Data Mining extension
Web Table Extraction extension
PDF Table Extraction extension
Spreadsheet Table Extraction extension
SharePoint Connector extension

Additionally, a web connector for the Informatica Cloud was developed to access RapidMiner processes as webservices from within Informatica mappings.
