  1. DATA MININGLecture #2

  2. Data Mining, Machine Learning, & Statistics Data Mining combines Methods & Tools from at least 3 areas • Machine Learning • Statistics • Databases

  3. Data Mining, Machine Learning, & Statistics What is Data Mining? • Data Mining is just Machine Learning! • Data Mining is just Statistics! • What does Data Mining have to do with Databases?

  4. Machine Learning • AI includes many DM techniques • AI is more general & involves areas outside DM • AI not concerned with Scalability • ML is a sub area of AI • Automation of a learning process • Writing programs that can learn • In DM, ML is used for “prediction” & “classification”

  5. Machine Learning

  6. Supervised Learning • Learning from examples • Training Data Set • Training set acts as examples for classes • Formulation of Classification rule • Prediction of class of previously unseen data • Similar to Discriminate Analysis in Statistics

  7. Unsupervised Learning • Learning from observation & discovery • NO Training Data Set • No prior knowledge of classes • Outcome is a set of class descriptors, one for each class discovered • Similar to Cluster Analysis in Statistics

  8. Machine Learning: Applications • Speech Recognition • Training moving robots • Classification of astronomical objects • Game Playing

  9. Machine Learning & Data Mining • ML is the basis for many DM tasks • Major differences between approaches taken by AI & Database disciplines • ML mainly focuses on the learning process • Tries to mimic human behavior • Aims at improving performance of an intelligent system/agent for problem solving tasks • DM aims at uncovering information • Databases require more efficient learning algorithms as DBs are normally large & noisy
