Survey of information visualization techniques for exploitation in KDD

The last years witnessed a continued growth of the amount of data. The data analysis and exploration has become more and more difficult. So, it seems important to find means to visually represent this flood of data. Information visualization can help any user to get and understand information efficiently and implicate him/her in the data mining process thanks to our perception possibilities. The visualization domain proposes a large number of information visualization techniques which have been developed over the last decade to support the exploration of large data sets. In this paper, we propose a classification of information visualization techniques. We present also each technique, its advantages and disadvantages.
