What Is Data Mining?

• Data mining (knowledge discovery from data) •  Extraction of interesting (non-trivial, implicit, previously unknown

and potentially useful) patterns or knowledge from huge amount of data

• Alternative names •  Knowledge discovery (mining) in databases (KDD), •  Knowledge extraction, •  Data/pattern analysis, •  Information harvesting, •  Business intelligence

3

Usage of Data Mining: Real-World Apps I • Play-by-play information recorded by teams

•  Who is on the court •  Who shoots •  Results

• Coaches want to know what works best •  Plays that work well against a given team •  Good/bad player matchups

Usage of Data Mining: Real-World Apps 2 • Assume players X and Y

• All statistics from previous matches is there

• What we need to know is •  What factors should each player focus on to win

the game •  What are the weaknesses of the other side •  ….

Usage of Data Mining: Real-World Apps 2 •  IBM has data mining tools for analyzing

tennis data and converting it into knowledge

Usage of Data Mining: Real-World Apps 3 •  Items and customers transactions

•  Which items are bought together •  When the items are bought •  Quantities

• Owners need to know •  Are there peak seasons for specific items? •  Which items should be put next to each other? •  If make discount on item X, should we make discount

on other items?

What Can Data Mining Do? • Cluster • Classify

• Categorical, Regression • Summarize

• Summary statistics, Summary rules • Link Analysis / Model Dependencies

• Association rules • Sequence analysis

•  Time-series analysis, Sequential associations • Detect Deviations (Outliers)

14

Clustering •  Find groups of similar data items •  Statistical techniques require

some definition of “distance” (e.g. between travel profiles) while conceptual techniques use background concepts and logical descriptions

Uses: •  Demographic analysis Technologies: •  Self-Organizing Maps •  Probability Densities •  Conceptual Clustering

“Group people with similar travel profiles” • George, Patricia •  Jeff, Evelyn, Chris • Rob

Clusters

15

Classification •  Find ways to separate data

items into pre-defined groups •  We know X and Y belong

together, find other things in same group

•  Requires “training data”: Data items where group is known

Uses: •  Profiling Technologies: •  Generate decision trees (results

are human understandable) •  Neural Nets

“Route documents to most likely interested parties” • English or non-english? • Domestic or Foreign?

Groups

16

Association Rules •  Identify dependencies in the

data: •  X makes Y likely

•  Indicate significance of each dependency

•  Bayesian methods Uses: •  Targeted marketing Technologies: •  AIS, SETM, Hugin, TETRAD II

“Find groups of items commonly purchased together” •  People who purchase fish are

extraordinarily likely to purchase wine

•  People who purchase Turkey are extraordinarily likely to purchase cranberries

What To Cover

• Frequent Itemset Mining

• Association Rule Mining

• Clustering

• Classification

• Deviation (Outlier) Detection

20

Frequent Itemset Mining

21

Frequent Itemset Mining

•  Very common problem in Market-Basket applications

•  Given a set of items I ={milk, bread, jelly, …}

•  Given a set of transactions where each transaction contains subset of items •  t1 = {milk, bread, water} •  t2 = {milk, nuts, butter, rice}

22

Frequent Pattern Mining •  Given a set of items I ={milk, bread, jelly, …} •  Given a set of transactions where each transaction contains

subset of items •  t1 = {milk, bread, water} •  t2 = {milk, nuts, butter, rice}

What are the itemsets frequently sold together ??

% of transactions in which the itemset appears >= α

23

Example

Assume α = 60%, what are the frequent itemsets

•  {Bread} à 80% •  {PeanutButter} à 60% •  {Bread, PeanutButter} à 60%

called “Support”

24

How to find frequent itemsets

• Naïve Approach •  Enumerate all possible itemsets and then count each one

All possible itemsets of size 1

All possible itemsets of size 2

All possible itemsets of size 3

All possible itemsets of size 4

25

Can we optimize??

Assume α = 60%, what are the frequent itemsets

•  {Bread} à 80% •  {PeanutButter} à 60% •  {Bread, PeanutButter} à 60%

called “Support”

Property For itemset S={X, Y, Z, …} of size n to be frequent, all its subsets of size n-1 must be frequent as well

26

Apriori Algorithm •  Executes in scans (iterations), each scan has two phases

•  Given a list of candidate itemsets of size n, count their appearance and find frequent ones

•  From the frequent ones generate candidates of size n+1 (previous property must hold) •  All subsets of size n must be frequent to be a candidate

•  Start the algorithm where n =1, then repeat

Use the property reduce the number of itemsets to check

Apriori with Constraints •  If we have constraints, e.g., Sum(price) of the frequent

group should not exceed X

•  Lazy Approach •  Apply the constraints at the end on the discovered patterns

• Eager Approach •  Push the constraints during the computations (if possible)

Apriori Adv/Disadv • Advantages:

•  Uses large itemset property. •  Easily parallelized •  Easy to implement.

• Disadvantages: •  Assumes transaction database is memory resident. •  Requires up to m database scans.

34

Association Rule Mining

35

Association Rules Outline

•  Finding associations between the objects in the database

• When X happens, Y also happens with probability … •  If the probability is high, then the association between X, Y is

important

• What is the probability when a customer buys bread in a transaction, (s)he also buys milk in the same transaction?

36

Example: Market Basket Data •  Items frequently purchased together:

Bread ⇒PeanutButter • Uses:

•  Placement •  Advertising •  Sales •  Coupons

• Objective: increase sales and reduce costs

37

Association Rule Definitions • Set of items: I={I1,I2,…,Im} •  Transactions: D={t1,t2, …, tn}, tj⊆ I •  Itemset: {Ii1,Ii2, …, Iik} ⊆ I • Support of an itemset: Percentage of transactions which

contain that itemset. •  Large (Frequent) itemset: Itemset whose number of

occurrences is above a threshold.

38

Association Rules Example

I = { Beer, Bread, Jelly, Milk, PeanutButter}

Support of {Bread,PeanutButter} is 60%

39

Association Rule Definitions • Association Rule (AR): implication X ⇒ Y where X,Y ⊆ I and X ∩ Y = ;

• Support of AR (s) X ⇒ Y: Percentage of transactions that contain X ∪Y

• Confidence of AR (α) X ⇒ Y: Ratio of number of transactions that contain X ∪ Y to the number that contain X

40

Association Rules Ex (cont’d)

41

Association Rule Problem • Given a set of items I={I1,I2,…,Im} and a database of

transactions D={t1,t2, …, tn} where ti={Ii1,Ii2, …, Iik} and Iij ∈ I, the Association Rule Problem is to identify all association rules X ⇒ Y with a minimum support and confidence.

•  Link Analysis • NOTE: Support of X ⇒ Y is same as support of X ∪ Y.

42

Association Rule Techniques 1.  Find Large Itemsets. 2.  Generate rules from frequent itemsets.

43

Example

44

Rule: Bread à PeanutButter •  Support of rule = support(Bread, PeanutButter) = 60% •  Confidence of rule = support(Bread, PeanutButter)/support(Bread) = 75%

Rule: Bread, Jelly à PeanutButter •  Support of rule = support(Bread, Jelly, PeanutButter) = 20% •  Confidence of rule = support(Bread, Jelly, PeanutButter) /support(Bread, Jelly) = 100%

Usually we search for rules: Support > α Confidence > β
