Why Data Mining?
 The Explosive Growth of Data: from terabytes to petabytes
 Data collection and data availability

Automated data collection tools, database systems,
Web, computerized society
 Major sources of abundant data

Business: Web, e-commerce, transactions, stocks, …

Science: Remote sensing, bioinformatics, scientifc
simulation, …

Society and everyone: news, digital cameras, YouTube
 We are drowning in data, but starving for knowledge!
 “Necessity is the mother of invention”—Data mining—
Automated analysis of massive data sets

Evolution of Sciences
 Before 1600, empirical science
 1600-1950s, theoretical science

Each discipline has grown a theoretical component. Theoretical models
often motivate experiments and generalize our understanding.
 1950s-1990s, computational science
 Over the last 50 years, most disciplines have grown a third, computational
branch (e.g. empirical, theoretical, and computational ecology, or physics,
or linguistics.)
 Computational Science traditionally meant simulation. It grew out of our
inability to fnd closed-form solutions for complex mathematical models.
 1990-now, data science
 The food of data from new scientifc instruments and simulations
 The ability to economically store and manage petabytes of data online
 The Internet and computing Grid that makes all these archives universally
accessible
 Scientifc info. management, acquisition, organization, query, and
visualization tasks scale almost linearly with data volumes. Data mining
is a major new challenge!
 Jim Gray and Alex Szalay, The World Wide Telescope: An Archetype for Online 4
Evolution of Database
Technology
 1960s:
 Data collection, database creation, IMS and network DBMS
 1970s:
 Relational data model, relational DBMS implementation
 1980s:
 RDBMS, advanced data models (extended-relational, OO,
deductive, etc.)
 Application-oriented DBMS (spatial, scientifc, engineering, etc.)
 1990s:
 Data mining, data warehousing, multimedia databases, and Web
databases
 2000s
 Stream data management and mining
 Data mining and its applications
 Web technology (XML, data integration) and global information
systems 5
