Why Data Mining?

Increasing data generation and collection technologies have led to an explosion of data in businesses and scientific databases
New Mantra: Gather as much data as possible, whenever and wherever it’s available
Expectations: Gathered data will have value, either for the original purpose or for unforeseen purposes
Businesses have large amounts of data:
- Google has Peta Bytes of web data
- Facebook has billions of active users
- Amazon handles millions of visits daily
- Bank and credit card transactions are constantly recorded
Increased computer power and affordability
Competitive pressure for better, customized services (e.g., customer relationship management)

Data Mining Tasks

Predictive Modelling:
- Classification: Finding models for class attributes as a function of other attribute values
- Regression: Predicting the value of a continuous variable based on other variables, using a linear or non-linear model

Classification: Application 1 - Fraud Detection

Goal: Predict fraudulent transactions in credit card data
Approach:
- Use credit card transactions and customer information (buying patterns, payment history, etc.) as attributes
- Label past transactions as fraud or fair
- Learn a model for classifying transactions
- Use the model to detect fraud in real-time

Classification: Application 2 - Churn Prediction

Goal: Predict whether a customer is likely to switch to a competitor
Approach:
- Analyze detailed customer transaction records (frequency of calls, time of day, financial status, etc.)
- Label customers as loyal or disloyal
- Create a model to predict customer loyalty

Classification: Application 3 - Sky Survey Cataloging

Goal: Predict the class of sky objects (star or galaxy) based on telescope images
Approach:
- Segment the image
- Measure image features (40 per object)
- Model the class based on these features
- Successfully identified 16 new high red-shift quasars, some of the farthest objects difficult to find

Regression

Predicting the value of a continuous variable based on the values of other variables, assuming a linear or non-linear model of dependency
Examples:
- Predicting sales amounts based on advertising expenditure
- Predicting wind velocities based on temperature, humidity, and pressure
- Predicting stock market indices
