Large-Scale Data is Everywhere!

Data is being collected and stored at unprecedented speeds.
Examples of data sources include:
- Remote sensors on satellites (NASA EOSDIS archives petabytes of data per year)
- Telescopes scanning the skies (Sky Survey data)
- High-throughput biological data
- Scientific simulations (terabytes of data may be generated in a few hours)

Data Mining for Scientific Advancements

Data mining can be instrumental for scientists, aiding in:
- Automated analysis of massive datasets
- Hypothesis formation

Opportunities for Improvement

Data mining has the potential to enhance productivity in various fields.

Solving Major Societal Issues

Data mining can be leveraged in addressing global challenges:
- Improving healthcare and reducing costs
- Predicting the impact of climate change
- Reducing hunger and poverty by increasing agricultural production
- Finding alternative and green energy sources

What is Data Mining? Definitions

Data mining can be generally defined as:
- The non-trivial extraction of previously unknown and potentially useful information from data.
- Exploration and analysis of large datasets using automated or semi-automated methods to discover meaningful patterns.

Origins of Data Mining

Data mining draws upon various disciplines including:
- Machine learning and AI (Artificial Intelligence)
- Pattern recognition
- Statistics
- Database systems
Classic techniques may not be suitable for dealing with large-scale datasets, high-dimensional data, heterogeneous data, complex data, and distributed data.
Data mining is a crucial component of the developing field of data science and data-driven discovery.

Data Mining Tasks

Data mining tasks generally fall into two categories:
- Prediction Methods: Using variables to predict unknown or future values of other variables.
- Description Methods: Discovering human-interpretable patterns that characterize the data.

Predictive Modeling - Classification

The goal of classification is to identify a model which can predict the class attribute's value based on other attributes.
Example Application: Predicting creditworthiness of individuals.
Classification uses various attributes like, employed status, level of education, years at present address, to categorize creditworthiness.

Classification: Application 2

Churn prediction for telephone customers is another application of classification.
The goal is to identify customers at risk of switching to a competitor.
Analysis involves gathering data about customers' usage patterns, financial status, and demographics to model churn probability.

Classification: Application 3

Sky Survey Cataloging provides a practical example. It involves classifying objects in telescopic images as stars or galaxies.
Analysis involves segmenting images, extracting features, and developing a model based on those features.

Classifying Galaxies

The process of classifying galaxies involves analyzing features such as image characteristics and the light wavelengths received.
Huge datasets are processed, with millions of stars and galaxies requiring meticulous analysis.

Regression

Regression aims to predict the value of a continuous variable based on a linear or non-linear relationship with other variables.
Applications of Regression include:
- Forecasting sales amounts based on advertising expenditure.
- Predicting wind velocities based on factors like temperature, humidity, and pressure.
- Time series prediction of stock market indices.

Clustering: Application 1

Market Segmentation involves dividing customers into different groups based on shared characteristics.
This application of clustering helps in marketing strategies by targeting specific segments with tailored messages.

Clustering: Application 2

Document Clustering aims to organize documents based on their content similarity.
The process involves identifying frequently occurring terms within documents and developing a similarity measure based on those terms.

Association Rule Discovery: Definition

Association Rule Discovery involves identifying relationships between items within a dataset.
The goal is to identify rules that predict the occurrence of one item based on the presence of other items.
