Hello, my name is Kyle De Franco. Welcome to my personal site. Here you will find my interests, resume and information about the projects I am working on. I currently work as the Lead Programmer for Golden Travel - a travel agency in the Poconos, PA. I am interested in programming, obviously, as well as linguistics, KDD systems (Data Mines), implied logic, probability, Italian folklore and the idea of building a kit car. My favorite application language to program in is C, my favorite server-side language is PHP. My favorite database system is Oracle, but most of the time I use MySQL or PostgreSQL. Use the main links at the top to navigate the site.

Thanks for stopping by,
Kyle De Franco

Advanced Data Mine Here is a sneak preview of the KDD system I am developing right now, for personal use, although I might market it to interested parties. Like the KDD systems I have already built, this one will have an ability to understand the implied logic of text statements (to a certain extent of course) before categorizing and correcting the data of typos and grammatical errors. This is where the iteration of KDD systems comes in... data is found, fixed, found again and fixed again.
With this Data Mine the user can select a database through a GUI or enter a URL, and the system will do the rest.
At three distinct states the KDD system will perform analysis: first on the data not selected, second on the amount of time it takes to preprocess the data, and third on the sensitivity of the data which has been mined.
Where the actual mining is concerned, I plan on using an equation which goes something like this: relevance(ρ) = norm(ν) / member value(μ). Relevancy Equation With this the relevance of a set or subset of data can be "rated". The norm(ν) can be set to 1 or a fraction or a percentage and it should still work.
