This paper presents the top 10 data mining algorithms identified by the IEEE

International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM) in December 2006: C4.5, k-Means, SVM,

Apriori, EM, PageRank, AdaBoost, kNN, Naive Bayes, and CART. These top 10 algorithms

are among the most influential data mining algorithms in the research community.With each

algorithm, we provide a descr iption of the algorithm, discuss the impact of the algorithm, and

reviewcurrent and further research on the algorithm. These 10 algorithms cover classification,
