Study Notes
- A frequent pattern is a pattern that occurs frequently in a dataset.
The Growth of Data
- Digital transformation and automation have caused rapid data collection and availability.
- This growth spans across various fields like business, science, and society.
- Data mining helps find knowledge within this massive amount of data.
- Data mining involves the automated analysis of massive datasets.
Data Mining's Other Names
- Data mining has various names, reflecting its evolution and application across different fields.
- Alternative names include: knowledge discovery in databases (KDD), knowledge extraction, data/pattern analysis, data archeology, data dredging, information harvesting, and business intelligence.
Data Mining
- Data mining extracts knowledge from data, irrespective of the reasons or uses for that knowledge.
- It extracts interesting, non-trivial, implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful patterns or knowledge from data.
Knowledge Discovery Process
- Data cleaning removes noise and inconsistent data.
- Data integration combines multiple data sources.
- Data selection retrieves data relevant to the analysis task.
- Data transformation consolidates data into forms appropriate for mining, using summary or aggregation.
- Data mining is where intelligent methods extract data patterns or knowledge.
- Pattern evaluation identifies interesting patterns based on interestingness measures.
- Knowledge presentation uses visualization and representation techniques to present mined knowledge to users.
