  3. Definition of Data Mining Data mining is the nontrivial extraction of implicit, : beyond databases and catalogs previously unknown, and : exclude well-known knowledge potentially useful information : application-dependent usefulness from large volume of : performance perspective actual data. : missing, erroneous data Some counter examples • The 3th attribute of table ‘EMP’ is ‘SALARY’. • Explicit information in the DB catalog • Most of college students have been graduated from high schools. • Well-known information, common sense

  4. Motivation of Data Mining Research Growing reliance on database systems Database = operational data collection + useful resource reflecting domain characteristics Fast advance of database system technology Increasing volume of data stored in databases Mining databases for useful knowledge that can be exploited in decision making

  5. Comparison with Machine Learning Data Mining Dynamic data Errorneous data Uncertain data Missing data Coexistence of irrelvant data Immense size Structured data Machine Learning Static data Error-free data Exact data No missing data Only relevant data Moderate size Flat collection of data • Data mining is an actual application of machine learning methodologies.

  6. Classification of Data Mining Techniques • On knowledge types to be discovered • Characterization : generalized description of data characteristics • Classfication : description of discriminating characteristics • Clustering : grouping data having common properties • Association : co-occurence relationships among multiple events • Trend analysis : characterize evolution trend of temporal data • Pattern analysis : find specified patterns in large DB’s • Types of mining targets are continuously evolved • according to emerged application demands. ( cf. SQL evolution ) • On database types to be mined • relational, transactional, object-oriented, temporal, multi-media etc .. • On techniques adopted • statistics, symbolic learning, neural networks, visualization etc..

  7. Association Rules : Definition and Applications • QUEST project at IBM Almaden Research Center • Association rules ( among items ) • Given a collection of transactions each of which is { item-1, ..., item-n }, an association rule has a form of { item-11, item-12, ... , item-1m} --> { item-21, item-22, ... , item-2k } antecedent items consequence items • The existence of an item(or items) implies the existence of other item(s) in the same transaction. In a POS(Point-Of-Sales) data set, 10/15/13:01 { coke, bread, hamburger } 10/15/14:21 { coke, hamburger , juice} 10/15/14:25 { milk, sandwich, juice } 10/15/15:13 { sandwich, milk, juice, bread } 10/15/16:31 { hamburger, juice, coke} ..... association rules decision making for shelf layout design, direct mailing, etc ... { hamburger } --> {coke} {sandwich, juice} --> {milk} • Customer usage patterns in public communication services • Fault co-occurence analysis in complex systems

  8. Association Rules : Usefulness Measures • Two measures for identifying useful association rules • support : statistical significance - the fraction of transactions containing all items • confidence : rule strength - the fraction of transactions containing consequence items to • transactions containing antecedent items hamburger o o x x o o o o o x 7 coke o o x x o o o x x o 6 both o o x x o o o x x x 5 { coke, bread, hamburger } { coke, hamburger , juice} { milk, sandwich, juice } { sandwich, milk, juice, bread } { hamburger, juice, coke} { coke, bread, hamburger } { coke, hamburger , juice} { hamburger, juice } { milk, hamburger, sweater } { coke, milk, juice } For an assoication rule {coke} --> { hamburger }, support : 5 out of 10 = 50 % confidence : 5 out of 6 = 83 %

  9. Association Rules : Mining Procedures The first phase : finding frequent item-sets ( high support ) : the threshold value for support is given as 40 % { coke, bread, hamburger } { coke, hamburger , juice} { milk, sandwich, juice } { sandwich, milk, juice, bread } { hamburger, juice, coke} { coke, bread, hamburger } { coke, hamburger , juice} { hamburger, juice } { milk, hamburger, sweater } { coke, milk, juice } { coke, juice } { coke, sweater} {coke} : 8 {bread} : 3 {hamburger} : 7 {juice} : 8 {milk} : 4 {sandwich} : 2 {sweater} : 2 {coke, hamburger} : 5 {coke, juice } : 5 {hamburger, juice} : 4 {coke, hamburger, juice} : 2 The second phase : finding strong associations (high confidence) : the threshold value for confidence is given as 70% • Blind search : 2N candidates • AIS : basic algorithm • SETM : sort-merge algorithm • Apriori : tree-structured candidate sets • AprioriTid : temprary table generation • Partition : partitioned mining • DHP : hash-based algorithm {coke} --> {hamburger} : 5 out of 8 = 62.5 % {hamburger} --> {coke} : 5 out of 7 = 71 % {coke} --> {juice} : 5 out of 8 = 62.5 % {juice} --> {coke} : 5 out of 8 = 62.5 %

  11. Telecommunication Network Diagnosis node-A node-B * time = 30 min (C, 123 ) ( F, 678 ) (E, 256 ) node-C node-F node-D “Co-occurence of 123 alarm in C and 256 alarm in E implies 678 alarm in F in 30 minintes.” node-E node-I node-G node-H

  12. Attribute Dependencies • Given attributes A1, A2, ..., Am • f(A1, A2, ..., Am, a set of constants) ==> g(A1, A2, ... Am, a set of constants) where f and g are arbitrary (boolean) functions. e.g. (A1 = c1 and A2 = c2) then (A3 = c3 and A4 = c4) • Intractable problems because the number of possible functions and constants are potentially infinite. • Thus, several constraints are given to make them tractable in actual domains. e.g. LHS is a conjuction of simple predicates and RHS is an assertion of classification --> Classification problem

  13. Classification • Symbolic classification rules(e.g. decision trees) • The most well-studied area among inductive learning problems. A1 A1 A2 C a d 1 a e 2 b f 3 b g 3 a b A2 d e 1 2 3 • Neural network approach • Weight values in edges --> symbolic description of classification rules • Still far from a practical solution <-- too costly learning time • ; Suitable for single-learning/multiple-runs problems

An employee’s potential salary can be predicted based on the salary distribution of similar employees in the company • Data evolution evaluator • eg. Growth patterns of certain stocks • Deviation evaluator • eg. A set of stocks whose growth patterns deviate from the major trend.

  19. GeoMiner/WebMiner • GeoMiner with GMQL(Geo-Mining Query Language) • An extension of DBMiner for spatial data mining • Modules • Geo-characterizer • eg. Given spatial hierarchies of Western Canada, discover general weather patterns according to region partitions • Geo-comparator(= discriminator) • eg. The differences in weather patterns between British Columbia and Alberta • Geo-associator • WebMiner with WebQL • It finds resources in the internet related to a specific topic • eg. What is the most popular document about data mining in terms of number of accesses • cf. WEB traversal pattern discovery(by Chen, Park and Yu, 1996) • eg.

  24. Two Perspectives on Data Mining • AI practitioner’s perspective • Extensions of machine learning technology • Focus on sophisticated measures and theories rather than efficiency improvement • DB practitioner’s perspective • Application of machine learning paradigms to massive and actual data management problems • A suggestion as a DB practitioner • First step : Blindly search possible knowledge ==> “ Data Mining” • There is no guru who could guide the search directions. • No available heuristics : Rather ignore heuristics for unknown patterns. • Second step : Validate the discovered rough knowledge in detail

  25. Data Mining and Data Warehousing Data Mining Process-oriented Metadata Subject-oriented Relational DB-1 Data mart-1 Relational DB-2 Data warehouse builder/ manager Data mart-2 Object-oriented DB-1 Data warehouse Data mart-3 Object-oriented DB-2 Data mart-4 Legacy DB-1 Data mart-5 File system-1 Operational Data Data for Decision Support
