Abstract
Data mining is a useful decision support technique, which can be used to find trends and regularities in warehouses of corporate
data. A serious problem of its practical applications is long processing time required by data mining algorithms. Current
systems consume minutes or hours to answer simple queries. In this paper we present the concept of materialized data mining
views. Materialized data mining views store selected patterns discovered in a portion of a database, and are used for query
rewriting, which transforms a data mining query into a query accessing a materialized view. Since the transformation is transparent
to a user, materialized data mining views can be created and used like indexes.
