Data Mining Stories



“My bank called and said that they saw that I
bought two surfboards at Laguna Beach,
California.” - credit card fraud detection
The NSA is using data mining to analyze
telephone call data to track al’Qaeda activities
Victoria’s Secret uses data mining to control
product distribution based on typical customer
buying patterns at individual stores

Why Data Mining?

Database systems have been around since the
1970s

Organizations have a vast digital history of the
day-to-day pieces of their processes

Simple queries no longer provide satisfying
results


They take too long to execute
They cannot help us find new opportunities

Why Data Mining?



Data doubles about every year while
useful information seems to be decreasing
Vast data stores overload traditional
decision making processes
We are data rich, but information poor

Data Mining: a definition
Simply stated, data mining refers to the
extraction of knowledge from large
amounts of data.

Classification


Classification builds a model using a
training dataset with known classes of
data
That model is used to classify new,
unknown data into those classes
Classification Techniques

K-Nearest Neighbors

Decision Tree Classification (ID3, C4.5)

Decision Tree Example (C4.5)



C4.5 is a decision tree generating algorithm, based on the ID3
algorithm. It contains several improvements, especially needed for
software implementation.
Choice of best splitting attribute is based on an entropy calculation.
These improvements include:
 Choosing an appropriate attribute selection measure.
 Handling training data with missing attribute values.
 Handling attributes with differing costs.
 Handling continuous attributes.

Decision Tree Example (C4.5)

Association Rules
Association rules are used to show the
relationships between data items.
Purchasing one product when another product is
purchased is an example of an association rule.
They do not represent any causality or correlation.
Association Rule Techniques

Market Basket Analysis

Terminology

Transaction database

Association rule – implication {A, B} ═> {C}

Support - % of transactions in which {A, B, C} occurs

Confidence – ratio of the number of transactions that contain
{A, B, C} to the number of transactions that contain {A, B}
Association Rule Example

Clustering
Clustering is similar to classification in that data
are grouped.
Unlike classification, the groups are not
predefined; they are discovered.
Grouping is accomplished by finding similarities
between data according to characteristics found
in the actual data.
Clustering Techniques

K-Means Clustering

Neural Network Clustering (SOM)
K-Means Example



The K-Means algorithm is an method to
cluster objects based on their attributes
into k partitions.
It assumes that the k clusters exhibit
normal distributions.
The objective it tries to achieve is to
minimize the variance within the clusters.

Self-Organizing Map Example

The Self-Organizing Map was first described by the Finnish professor
Teuvo Kohonen and is thus sometimes referred to as a Kohonen
map.

SOM is especially good for visualizing high-dimensional data.

SOM maps input vectors onto a two-dimensional grid of nodes.

Nodes that are close together have similar attribute values and
nodes that are far apart have different attribute values.

What on earth would a man do with himself if
something did not stand in his way?
- H.G. Wells
I don’t think necessity is the mother of invention –
invention, in my opinion, arises directly from
idleness, probably also from laziness, to save
oneself trouble.
- Agatha Christie, from “An Autobiography, Pt III,
Growing Up”
