Knowledge Discovery and
Data Mining
Evgueni Smirnov
Outline
• Data Flood
• Definition of Knowledge Discovery and
Data Mining
• Possible Tasks:
– Classification Task
– Regression Task
– Clustering Task
– Association-Rule Task
Data Flood
Trends Leading to Data Flood
• Moore’s law
– Computer Speed doubles every 18 months
• Storage law
– total storage doubles every 9 months
As a result:
• More data is captured:
– Storage technology faster and cheaper
– DBMS capable of handling bigger DB
Trends Leading to Data Flood
• More data is generated:
– Business:
•
•
•
•
Supermarket chains
Banks,
Telecoms,
E-commerce, etc.
– Web
– Science:
•
•
•
•
astronomy,
physics,
biology,
medicine etc.
Consequence
• Very little data will ever be looked at by a
human, and thus, we need to automate the
process of Knowledge Discovery to make
sense and use of data.
Definition of Knowledge Discovery
• Knowledge Discovery in Data is non-trivial
process of identifying
–
–
–
–
valid
novel
potentially useful
and ultimately understandable patterns in data.
• from Advances in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, Fayyad,
Piatetsky-Shapiro, Smyth, and Uthurusamy, (Chapter 1), AAAI/MIT
Press 1996.

Data-Mining Tasks

Classification Task
Regression Task
Clustering Task
Association-Rule Task
Classification Task
• Given: a collection of instances (training set)
– Each instances is represented by a set of attributes, one of
the attributes is the class attribute.
• Find: a classifier for the class attribute as a function
of the values of other attributes.
• Goal: previously unseen instances should be
assigned a class as accurately as possible.

• Fraud Detection
– Goal: Predict fraudulent cases in credit card
transactions.
– Approach:
• Use credit card transactions and the information on
its account-holder as attributes.
– When does a customer buy, what does he buy, how often
he pays on time, etc
• Label past transactions as fraud or fair transactions.
This forms the class attribute.
• Learn a model for the class of the transactions.
• Use this model to detect fraud by observing credit
card transactions on an account.
Regression Task
• Predict a value of a given continuous valued variable
based on the values of other variables, assuming a
linear or nonlinear model of dependency.
Examples:
• Predicting sales amounts of
new product based on
advertising expenditure.
• Predicting wind velocities as
a function of temperature,
humidity, air pressure, etc.
• Time series prediction of
stock market indices.
Clustering Task
• Given a set of data points, each having a set of
attributes, and a similarity measure among them,
find clusters such that:
– Data points in one cluster are more similar;
– Data points in separate clusters are less similar.
Intra-cluster distances
are minimized
Inter-cluster distances
are maximized
Example
• Market Segmentation:
– Goal: subdivide a market into distinct subsets
of customers where any subset may
conceivably be selected as a market target to be
reached with a distinct marketing mix.
– Approach:
• Collect different attributes of customers based on
their geographical and lifestyle related information.
• Find clusters of similar customers.
• Measure the clustering quality by observing buying
patterns of customers in same cluster vs. those from
different clusters.
Association-Rule Task
• Given a set of records each of which contain
some number of items from a given collection;
– Produce dependency rules which will predict
occurrence of an item based on occurrences of
other items.

Example
• Supermarket shelf management.
– Goal: To identify items that are bought together
by sufficiently many customers.
– Approach: Process the point-of-sale data
collected with barcode scanners to find
dependencies among items.
– A classic rule -• If a customer buys diaper and milk, then he is very
likely to buy beer.
• So, don’t be surprised if you find six-packs stacked
next to diapers!
