Why Data Mining?


10

The Explosive Growth of Data: from terabytes to petabytes

Data collection and data availability

Automated data collection tools, database systems, Web,

computerized society

Major sources of abundant data

Business: Web, e-commerce, transactions, stocks, …

Science: Remote sensing, bioinformatics, scientific simulation, …

Society and everyone: news, digital cameras, YouTube

We are drowning in data, but starving for knowledge!

“Necessity is the mother of invention”—Data mining—Automated analysis

of massive data sets

11

Why Data Mining?—Potential Applications

Target marketing

Find clusters of “model” customers who share the same characteristics: interest, income level, spending habits, etc.

Determine customer purchasing patterns over time

Cross-market analysis—Find associations/co-relations between product sales, & predict based on such association

Customer profiling—What types of customers buy what products (clustering or classification)

What Is Data Mining?


15

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

Data mining: a misnomer?

Alternative names

Knowledge discovery (mining) in databases (KDD), knowledge extraction, data/pattern analysis, data archeology, data dredging, information harvesting, business intelligence, etc.

Watch out: Is everything “data mining”?

Simple search and query processing

(Deductive) expert systems

Examples: What is (not) Data Mining?

What is not Data Mining?

– Look up phone number in phone directory

– Query a Web search engine for information about “Amazon”

What is Data Mining?

– Certain names are more prevalent in certain Mumbai locations (D’Souza, D’Mello, D’Silva… in Vasai area)

– Group together similar documents returned by search engine according to their context (e.g. Amazon rainforest, Amazon.com,)

17

KDD Process: Several Key Steps

Learning the application domain

relevant prior knowledge and goals of application

Creating a target data set: data selection

Data cleaning and preprocessing: (may take 60% of effort!)

Data reduction and transformation

Find useful features, dimensionality/variable reduction, invariant

representation

Choosing functions of data mining

summarization, classification, regression, association, clustering

Choosing the mining algorithm(s)

Data mining: search for patterns of interest

Pattern evaluation and knowledge presentation

visualization, transformation, removing redundant patterns, etc.

Decisions in Data Mining(1)

Data to be mined

Database data (extended-relational, object-oriented, heterogeneous, legacy), data warehouse, transactional data, stream, spatiotemporal, time-series, sequence, text and web, multi-media, graphs & social and information networks

Knowledge to be mined (or: Data mining functions)

Characterization, discrimination, association, classification, clustering, trend/deviation, outlier analysis, etc.

Descriptive vs. predictive data mining : Descriptive mining tasks characterize properties of data in a target data set & predictive mining tasks perform induction on current data in order to make predictions

Multiple/integrated functions and mining at multiple levels


Decisions in Data Mining(2)


23

Techniques utilized

Data-intensive, data warehouse (OLAP), machine learning, statistics, pattern recognition, visualization, high-performance, etc.

Applications adapted

Retail, telecommunication, banking, fraud analysis, bio-data mining, stock market analysis, text mining, Web mining, etc.

What Kinds of Patterns Can Be Mined?


24

1. Generalization

2. Association and Correlation Analysis

3. Classification

4. Cluster Analysis

5. Outlier Analysis

25

Data Mining Function: (1) Generalization

Multidimensional concept description: Characterization and discrimination

Generalize, summarize, and contrast data characteristics, e.g., summarize the characteristics of customers who spend more than Rs. 50,000 a year at an electronics store

Data characterization is a summarization of the general characteristics or features of a target class of data

Data cube technology for computing

Scalable methods for computing (i.e., materializing) multidimensional aggregates

OLAP (online analytical processing)

Examples of Output forms : pie charts, MDD cubes, bar

charts, curves etc.


Data Mining Function: (1) Generalization contd.


26

Data discrimination is a comparison of the general features of the target class data objects against the general features of objects from one or multiple contrasting classes Eg. Compare 2 groups of customers- those who shop for computer

products regularly(more than twice a month) and those who rarely shop for such products(less than 3 times a year)

Data cube technology for computing Drill down on any dimension

Discriminant rules: Discrimination descriptions expressed in the form of rules

Output forms : same as that of data characterization along with discrimination descriptions

27

Data Mining Function: (2) Association and Correlation Analysis

Frequent patterns (or frequent itemsets)

What items are frequently purchased together in your mart? Eg. Milk & bread

Association, correlation vs. causality

A typical association rule

Computer software [1%, 50%] (support, confidence)

Confidence means that if one buys a computer there is a 50% chance that she will buy software too. A 1% support means that 1% of all transactions under analysis show that computer & software are purchased together

Association rules are discarded as uninteresting if they do not satisfy both a minimum support threshold and a minimum confidence threshold


28

Data Mining Function: (3) Classification

Classification and label prediction

Construct models (functions) based on some training examples

Describe and distinguish classes or concepts for future prediction

E.g., classify countries based on (climate), or classify cars based

on (gas mileage)

Predict some unknown class labels

Typical methods

Decision trees, naïve Bayesian classification, support vector

machines, neural networks, rule-based classification, pattern-based

classification, logistic regression, …

Typical applications:

Credit card fraud detection, direct marketing, classifying stars,

diseases, web-pages, …


Various forms of a classification model


29

30

Data Mining Function: (4) Cluster Analysis

Unsupervised learning (i.e., Class label is unknown)

Group data to form new categories (i.e., clusters), e.g.,

cluster houses to find distribution patterns

Data objects are clustered or grouped based on the principle

of maximizing intraclass similarity and

minimizing interclass similarity

Many methods and applications


Chp1 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 31

A 2D plot of customer data with respect to customer locations in a city showing 3 data clusters

32

Data Mining Function: (5) Outlier Analysis

Outlier analysis (anomaly mining)

Outlier: A data object that does not comply with the general behavior

of the data

Noise or exception? ― One person’s garbage could be another

person’s treasure

Methods: by product of clustering or regression analysis, …

Useful in fraud detection, rare events analysis


33

Are All the “Discovered” Patterns Interesting?

Data mining may generate thousands of patterns: Not all of them are

interesting

Suggested approach: Human-centered, query-based, focused mining

Interestingness measures

A pattern is interesting if it is easily understood by humans, valid on new

or test data with some degree of certainty, potentially useful, novel, or

validates some hypothesis that a user seeks to confirm

Objective vs. subjective interestingness measures

Objective: based on statistics and structures of patterns, e.g., support,

confidence, etc.

Subjective: based on user’s belief in the data, e.g., unexpectedness, novelty,

actionability, etc. Eg. A large Earthquake often follows a cluster of small

quakes


34

Find All and Only Interesting Patterns?

Find all the interesting patterns: Completeness

Can a data mining system find all the interesting patterns? Do we

need to find all of the interesting patterns?

Heuristic vs. exhaustive search

Association vs. classification vs. clustering

Search for only interesting patterns: An optimization problem

Can a data mining system find only the interesting patterns?

Approaches

First generate all the patterns and then filter out the uninteresting

ones

Generate only the interesting patterns—mining query optimization


35
