Study Notes
Introduction to Data Mining
- Data mining is the process of discovering patterns, models, and knowledge in large datasets.
- It is a crucial step in knowledge discovery.
- Alternative names include knowledge discovery in databases (KDD), knowledge extraction, data/pattern analysis, data archeology, data dredging, and more.
- Data mining uses patterns, models, and other forms of knowledge found in large datasets, which must be non-trivial, implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful.
Data Mining: Essential Step in Knowledge Discovery
- Data mining is an essential part of the knowledge discovery process.
- The process involves data preparation, data selection, data cleaning, data integration, data transformation, data mining, pattern/model evaluation, and knowledge presentation.
Diversity of Data Types for Data Mining
- Data types for data mining include structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data and different data associated with the applications of the data.
- Structured data is uniform, table-like, with predefined attributes and fixed value ranges.
- Examples include data stored in relational databases and data warehouses.
- Semi-structured data allows variations in data object structure, with defined semantic meaning, flexibility and dynamic definition.
- Examples include transactional data, sequence data, Weblog data, or graph data.
- Unstructured data has no predefined structure, like text data or multimedia (audio, image, video).
- Real-world data often blends various types.
- Application types involve different data sets and unique analysis methods; some examples are biological sequences versus shopping transactions.
Mining Various Kinds of Knowledge
- Multidimensional data summarization is one type of knowledge.
- Mining frequent patterns, associations, and correlations are also types of knowledge.
- Classification and regression for predictive analysis is another type of knowledge
- Cluster analysis are also types of mined knowledge.
- Deep learning is a rapidly growing area within data mining.
- Outlier analysis identifies data points that deviate from the norm.
- Not all mined results are interesting. Evaluation of mined knowledge considers if it is descriptive or predictive, coverage, typicality or novelty, accuracy, and timeliness
Other Data Mining Functions
- Time and ordering analysis includes sequence, trend, and evolution analysis, e.g., regressions, value predictions and temporal data.
- Pattern discovery analysis involves buying patterns and frequency analysis, correlation analysis including associating items and rules efficiently on large data sets.
- Structure and network analysis include methods for finding frequent subgraphs (e.g., chemical compounds, trees, and XML), information network, relationships in social networks.
Data Mining: Confluence of Multiple Disciplines
- Data mining is a multidisciplinary field that combines areas like machine learning, statistics, pattern recognition, visualization, HCI, natural language processing databases, social sciences, high-performance computing and algorithms.
Data Mining and Applications
- Data mining has wide applications including web page analysis (classification, clustering, ranking), collaborative analysis, basket data analysis, biological and medical data analysis, software engineering, data mining and text analysis, data mining in social and information network analysis (example tools including SAS, MS SQL-Server Analysis Manager, Oracle). Tools for social data include Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn and Meta.
Evaluation of Knowledge
- Assessing mined knowledge is important to determine if it is descriptive or predictive. Evaluating coverage, typicality, novelty, accuracy, and timeliness is critical for meaningful insights.
