- 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.
