Aviation Data Mining

We explore different methods of data mining in the field of aviation and their effectiveness. The field of aviation is al-ways searching for new ways to improve safety. However, due to the large amounts of aviation data collected daily, parsing through it all by hand would be impossible. Because of this, problems are often found by investigating accidents. With the relatively new field of data mining we are able to parse through an otherwise unmanageable amount of data to find patterns and anomalies that indicate potential incidents be-fore they happen. The data mining methods outlined in this paper include Multiple Kernel Learning algorithms, Hidde
