Data is Everywhere
• There has been enormous data growth in both
commercial and scientific databases due to advances
in data generation and collection technologies

E-Commerce
Traffic Patterns
Gather whatever data you can
whenever and wherever possible.

Sensor Networks Social Networking:


Twitter
12
Why Data Mining – Commercial Viewpoint
• The Explosive Growth of Data
• Lots of data is being collected and warehoused
• Web data
• Google has Peta Bytes of web data
• Facebook has billions of active users
• purchases at department/grocery stores, e-commerce
• Amazon handles millions of visits/day
• Bank/Credit Card transactions
• Computers have become cheaper and more powerful
• Competitive Pressure is Strong
• Provide better, customized services for an edge (e.g. in Customer Relationship Management)

We are drowning in data, but starving for knowledge!

• Data mining—Automated analysis of massive data sets


13
Why Data Mining – Scientific Viewpoint
• Data collected and stored at enormous
speeds
• remote sensors on a satellite Sky Survey Data
• NASA EOSDIS archives over petabytes of earth
science data/year
• telescopes scanning the skies
• Sky survey data
• High-throughput biological data fMRI Data from Brain
• scientific simulations Gene Expression Data

• terabytes of data generated in a few hours


• Data mining helps scientists
• in automated analysis of massive datasets
• In hypothesis formation Surface Temperature of Earth
14
What is Data Mining?
• Many Definitions!
Non-trivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown
and potentially useful information from data

Exploration & analysis, by automatic or semi-automatic


means, of large quantities of data in order to discover
meaningful patterns

• Alternative Names:
• Knowledge discovery (mining) in databases (KDD), knowledge extraction,
data/pattern analysis, data archeology, data dredging, information
harvesting, business intelligence, etc. 15
