Origins of Data Mining

Draws ideas from machine learning/AI, pattern recognition,


statistics, and database systems

Traditional techniques may be unsuitable due to data that is


– Large-scale
– High dimensional
– Heterogeneous
– Complex
– Distributed

A key component of the emerging field of data science and data-


driven discovery

Examples of Classification Task

Classifying credit card transactions


as legitimate or fraudulent

Classifying land covers (water bodies, urban areas,


forests, etc.) using satellite data

Categorizing news stories as finance,


weather, entertainment, sports, etc

Identifying intruders in the cyberspace

Predicting tumor cells as benign or malignant

Classification: Application 1

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.

Classification: Application 2

Churn prediction for telephone customers


– Goal: To predict whether a customer is likely
to be lost to a competitor.
– Approach:
◆ Use detailed record of transactions with each of the
past and present customers, to find attributes.
– How often the customer calls, where he calls, what time-
of-the day he calls most, his financial status, marital
status, etc.
◆ Label the customers as loyal or disloyal.
◆ Find a model for loyalty.

Sky Survey Cataloging
– Goal: To predict class (star or galaxy) of sky objects,
especially visually faint ones, based on the telescopic
survey images (from Palomar Observatory).
– 3000 images with 23,040 x 23,040 pixels per image.
– Approach:
◆ Segment the image.
◆ Measure image attributes (features) - 40 of them per
object.
◆ Model the class based on these features.
◆ Success Story: Could find 16 new high red-shift
quasars, some of the farthest objects that are difficult
to find! From [Fayyad, et.al.] Advances in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, 1996

based on the values of other variables, assuming a
linear or nonlinear model of dependency.
Extensively studied in statistics, neural network fields.
Examples:
– Predicting sales amounts of new product based on
advetising expenditure.
– Predicting wind velocities as a function of
temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc.
– Time series prediction of stock market indices.

group will be similar (or related) to one another and
different from (or unrelated to) the objects in other
groups

Clustering: Application 1

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.

Clustering: Application 2

Document Clustering:

– Goal: To find groups of documents that are similar to


each other based on the important terms appearing in
them.

– Approach: To identify frequently occurring terms in


each document. Form a similarity measure based on
the frequencies of different terms. Use it to cluster.
