Study Notes
Data Mining
- Data mining is the process of analyzing large data sets to extract useful patterns.
- Big data refers to large quantities of data or complex data.
- Examples of big data include:
- Twitter with 300 million tweets daily
- Wikipedia with 4 million articles
- Facebook with 500 million users
- WALMART with 20 million transactions daily
- Genomic sequences with 3 x 10^12 nucleotides from 1000 individuals
- Complex data includes various data types like tables, time series, images, graphs, and spatial and temporal aspects.
Machine Learning
- Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that involves training algorithms to learn patterns from data.
- Models are representations of what a machine learning system learns from training data.
Branches of Machine Learning
- Supervised Learning (Classification): Model trained on labeled data with each example paired with an output label.
- Unsupervised Learning (Clustering): Model trained on unlabeled data, focusing on identifying patterns and structures within the data.
Supervised Learning
- Aims to predict outcomes.
- Uses predictive algorithms.
- Evaluates model performance with error functions.
- Optimizes models by iteratively improving prediction accuracy.
- Can be used for classification and regression tasks.
- Examples: Spam detection, house price prediction, image classification, speech recognition, medical diagnosis
Unsupervised Learning
- Aims to describe data patterns and structures.
- Uses descriptive algorithms.
- Operates without error functions, as the correct output is unknown.
- Focuses on understanding the data itself, not predicting new data.
- Can be used for clustering, dimensionality reduction, anomaly detection, and association mining.
- Examples: Customer segmentation, market basket analysis, anomaly detection, Amazon's "Frequently Bought Together" recommendations, Netflix recommendations, gene clustering
Supervised Learning vs. Unsupervised Learning
- Supervised: Requires labeled data, aims for prediction based on known outputs, and uses error functions for optimization.
- Unsupervised: Works with unlabeled data, aims to discover patterns and structures, and does not rely on error functions.
