  1. OLAM and Data Mining:Concepts and Techniques

  2. Introduction • Data explosion problem: • Automated data collection tools and mature database technology lead to tremendous amounts of data stored in databases, data warehouses and other information repositories • We are drowning in data, but starving for knowledge! • Data warehousing and data mining: • On-line analytical processing – query-driven data analysis • The efficient discovery of interesting knowledge (rules, regularities, patterns, constraints) from data in large databases

  3. Evolution of Database Technology • 1960s: • Data collection, database creation, IMS and network DBMS • 1970s: • Relational data model, relational DBMS • 1980s: • RDBMS, advanced data models (extended-relational, OO, deductive, etc.) and application-oriented DBMS (spatial, scientific, engineering, etc.) • 1990s: • Data mining and data warehousing, multimedia databases, and Web technology

  4. What is data mining? • Data mining: the process of efficient discovery of previously unknown patterns, relationships, rules in large databases and data warehouses • Goal: help the human analyst to understand the data • SQL query: • How many bottles of wine did we sell in 1st Qtr of 1999 in Poland vs Austria?

  5. What is data mining? • Data mining query: • How do the buyers of wine in Poland and Austria differ? • What else do the buyers of wine in Austria buy along with wine? • How the buyers of wine can be characterized?

  6. What is data mining? • Data mining (knowledge discovery in databases): • Extraction of interesting ( non-trivial,implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful) information from data in large databases • Alternative names and their “inside stories”: • Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD: SIGKDD), knowledge extraction, data archeology, data dredging, information harvesting, business intelligence, etc. • Data mining: a misnomer? • What is not data mining? • Expert systems or small statistical programs • OLAP

  7. Data Mining: A KDD Process • Steps of a KDD Process: • Learning the application domain: • relevant prior knowledge and goals of application • Creating a target data set: data selection • Data cleaning and preprocessing: (may take 60% of effort!) • Data reduction and projection: • Find useful features, dimensionality/variable reduction, invariant representation. • Choosing functions of data mining • summarization, classification, regression, association, clustering. • Choosing the mining algorithm(s) • Data mining: search for patterns of interest • Interpretation: analysis of results. • visualization, transformation, removing redundant patterns, etc. • Use of discovered knowledge

  10. Data Mining: Confluence of Multiple Disciplines • Database systems, data warehouse and OLAP • Statistics • Machine learning • Visualization • Information science • High performance computing • Other disciplines: • Neural networks, mathematical modeling, information retrieval, pattern recognition, etc.

  11. Data Mining: On What Kind of Data? • Relational databases • Data warehouses • Transactional databases • Advanced DB systems and information repositories • Object-oriented and object-relational databases • Spatial databases • Time-series data and temporal data • Text databases and multimedia databases • Heterogeneous and legacy databases • WWW

  12. Data Mining Functionality Data mining methods may be classified onto 6 basic classes: • Associations • Finding rules like “if the customer buys mustard, sausage, and beer, then the probability that he/she buys chips is 50%” • Classifications • Classify data based on the values of the decision attribute, e.g. classify patients based on their “state” • Clustering • Group data to form new classes, cluster customers based on their behavior to find common patterns

  13. Data Mining Functionality • Sequential patterns • Finding rules like “if the customer buys TV, then, few days later, he/she buys camera, then the probability that he/she will buy within 1 month video is 50%” • Time-Series similarities • Finding similar sequences (or subsequences) in time-series (e.g. stock analysis) • Outlier detection • Finding anomalies/exceptions/deviations in data
