Abstract
Purpose
Much research on knowledge discovery in database (KDD) merely pays attention to data mining, one of many interacting steps in the process of discovering previously unknown and potentially interesting patterns in large databases, but little to the whole process. However, such approaches cannot satisfy the need of real applications of KDD. The purpose of this work is to extend a process model of KDD in practice at large.
Design/methodology/approach
A new model based on research experiences of the knowledge discovery process is formalized as an extension of the model by Fayyad et al. A case study by a reduct method from rough set theory is to illustrate why the process model is proposed and in what situation it can be used in practice.
Findings
This model incorporates data collection in the KDD process to supply a sound framework to better support KDD applications.
Research limitations/implications
This model reflects the native of KDD in some tested cases. It may need further research to be used in all other situations.
Practical implications
It can be used in the area of information security, medical treatment and other information management.
Originality/value
Using this model, one can directly collect data that are essential and useful for the mining results. It also offers practical help to those KDD researchers both from industry and academia.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the reforming Chinese arbitration judicial review process and supplement the corresponding suggestions and analyze the practical trends of Chinese arbitration.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper presents considerable evidence that includes the latest empirical data and iconic cases to demonstrate the Chinese judicial system’s acts of internationalizing Chinese arbitration. This paper then elaborates the Chinese Supreme People’s Court (hereinafter SPC) recent reforms of the mechanisms of arbitration judicial review.
Findings
The SPC’s efforts to coordinate Chinese arbitration practice with international standards are effective and fruitful. However, even after recent reforms, there are still inherent deficiencies and important omissions that hinder the efficiency of Chinese arbitration.
Originality/value
The major contributions of this paper are providing latest empirical data to evaluate effectiveness of current Chinese arbitration judicial review and analyzing latest SPC’s legal interpretations.
