Data mining without prejudice
By By Larry Hardesty, MIT News Office | 17 Dec 2011
Most previous attempts to create general data-mining algorithms have tended to privilege some relationships over others. A new technique for finding relationships between variables in large datasets makes no prior assumptions about what those relationships might be
