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 description of the algorithm, discuss the impact of the algorithm, and reviewcurrent and further research on the algorithm. These 10 algorithms cover classification,
