Current Situation …

 Data Explosion problem: We

are drowning in data, but
starving for knowledge!

 Data rich but information poor!

 Why Mine Data? Opportunities

 Lots of data is being collected

and warehoused.

 Computers have become

cheaper and more powerful.
Why Mine Data? business view

 Competitive Pressure is Strong.

Why Mine Data? Scientific Viewpoint

 Data collected and stored at enormous

speeds (GB/hour)

 Traditional techniques infeasible for raw

data
Motivation ….
“Necessity is the Mother of Invention”

 Solution: Data Warehousing & Data Mining.

 What Is Data Mining?

 Data mining:

“Extraction of interesting non-trivial,

implicit, previously unknown and
potentially useful information or
patterns from data in large databases”
Data mining and (KDD) Process

 Data mining is the core of Pattern Evaluation

Database process.

 Examples: What is (not) Data Mining?

 What is not Data  What is Data Mining?

Mining?
– Certain names are more
– Look up phone number prevalent in certain US
in phone directory locations (O’Brien, O'Rourke,
O’Reilly… in Boston area)
– Query a Web search – Group together similar
engine for information documents returned by search
about “Amazon” engine according to their
context (e.g. Amazon rainforest,
Amazon.com,)

 Decisions in Data Mining

 Databases to be mined

 Knowledge to be mined

 Techniques utilized

 Applications adapted
Data Mining Tasks

 Tasks categories:
─ Prediction Tasks.
─ Description Tasks.
 Predictive Tasks

• predictive modelling is Similar to the human learning

experience.
• Model is developed using a supervised learning
approach, which has two phases:

1. Training builds a model using a large sample of

historical data called a training set where the class
labels are known.

2. Testing determine its accuracy and physical

performance characteristics.
Descriptive Tasks

• Find human-interpretable patterns that describe the data.

• Use unsupervised learning approach :

₋ The class labels of training data is unknown.

₋ establishing the existence of relationships, classes or
clusters in the data.
Common Data Mining tasks

 Predictive:  Descriptive:
• Classification • Clustering
• Regression • Association Rule
Discovery
• Deviation Detection
• Sequential Pattern
Discovery
 Classification Definition

• Given a collection of records (training set ), Find a model

for class attribute as a function of the values of other
attributes.

• Goal: previously unseen records should be assigned a class

as accurately as possible.

Classification Application

 Direct Marketing
Goal: Reduce cost of mailing by targeting
a set of consumers likely to buy a new
cell-phone product.
Regression

• Predict a value of a given continuous valued variable

based on the values of other variables.
Regression application

 Predicting sales amounts:

Goal: Predicting sales amounts of new product based on
advertising expenditure.
Deviation/Anomaly Detection

• Detect significant deviations from normal behavior.

Deviation Detection application

 Credit Card Fraud Detection:

Goal: Predict fraudulent cases in credit card
transactions.
Clustering Definition

 Given a set of data points, each having a set of attributes, find

clusters such that:
 Data points in one cluster are more similar to one another.
 Data points in separate clusters are less similar to one
another.

Clustering Application

 Market Segmentation:
Goal: subdivide a market into distinct subsets of customers
where any subset reached with a distinct marketing mix.
Association Rule Definition

• Given a set of records contain number of items:

find dependency rules which will predict occurrence of

an item based on occurrences of other items.

Association Rule: Application

 Supermarket shelf management:

Goal: To identify items that are bought together by
sufficiently many customers.

TID Items
1 Bread, Coke, Milk
2 Water, Bread Rules
RulesDiscovered:
Discovered:
{Milk}
{Milk}-->
-->{Coke}
{Coke}
3 Water, Coke, Diaper, Milk {Diaper,
{Diaper,Milk}
Milk}-->

{Water}
4 Water, Bread, Diaper, Milk
5 Coke, Diaper, Milk
Sequential Pattern Discovery: Definition

• Given is a set of objects, with each object associated with

its own timeline of events:

find rules that predict strong sequential dependencies

among different events
Sequential Pattern Discovery Application

 Healthcare area:
Goal: To help in properly identify the disease based on
sequence of symptoms.

- (headache , fever) (backache) (…) --> (Malaria)
