KFUPM – Dr. Amir Zaib Abbasi
Learning Objectives
• • Assess the role of data mining in businesses
• • Understand the data mining process
• • Evaluate data mining techniques (e.g.,
clustering, classification)
• • Understand text mining methods and
applications
What is Data Mining?
• • Data mining = knowledge discovery, pattern
analysis, data dredging
• • Extracts patterns and correlations in large
data volumes
• • Used in business, science, and government
(e.g., fraud detection, marketing)
• • Relies on statistics, AI (e.g., neural
networks), and database systems
Features of Data Mining
• • Predict trends and behaviors
• • Generate actionable insights
• • Focus on large, complex datasets
• • Clustering, classification, and pattern
recognition
Business Applications
• • Credit scoring and fraud detection (banking)
• • Consumer behavior and trend analysis
(retail)
• • ROI and campaign effectiveness (marketing)
• • Health risk prediction and prevention
(healthcare)
Data Mining Process
• 1. Exploration – Analyze data structure and
detect anomalies
• 2. Pattern Recognition – Use ML algorithms to
identify insights
• 3. Deployment – Apply insights to support
business decisions
Pattern Recognition Techniques
• • Supervised Learning – Classification using
labeled data
• • Unsupervised Learning – Clustering based on
similarities
• • Data inputs: text, images, emotions, sensor
data
• • Real-time applications in marketing,
medicine, security
Top 10 Data Mining Techniques
• 1. Tracking Patterns
• 2. Classification
• 3. Association
• 4. Outlier Detection
• 5. Clustering
• 6. Regression
• 7. Prediction
• 8. Sequential Patterns
• 9. Statistical Techniques
Example: Classification in Business
• • Is this credit card transaction fraudulent?
• • Which customer should receive premium
offers?
• • Which classification methods: Decision
trees, Bayesian networks, KNN
Text Mining
• • Converts unstructured text into structured
format using NLP
• • Steps: Text preprocessing, information
retrieval, NLP, info extraction
• • Applications: Email filtering, sentiment
analysis, customer feedback
Case Study: Nestlé Uses Big Data
• • Optimized delivery and logistics with real-
time data analytics
• • Improved customer satisfaction and reduced
spoilage
• • Big Data used to detect trends and guide
product innovation
