We are drowning in data, but starving for knowledge! Necessity is the mother of invention analysis of massive data sets Data mining Automated
Evolution of Sciences
Each discipline has grown a theoretical component. Theoretical models often motivate experiments and generalize our understanding. 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 find closed-form solutions for complex mathematical models. The flood of data from new scientific 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 Scientific info. management, acquisition, organization, query, and visualization tasks scale almost linearly with data volumes. Data mining is a major new challenge!

Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques
31
Creating a target data set: data selection Data cleaning and preprocessing: (may take 60% of effort!) Data reduction and transformation
Find useful features, dimensionality/variable reduction, invariant representation summarization, classification, regression, association, clustering
Choosing the mining algorithm(s) Data mining: search for patterns of interest Pattern evaluation and knowledge presentation
32
Data mining may generate thousands of patterns: Not all of them are interesting
Interestingness measures
A pattern is interesting if it is easily understood by humans, valid on new or test data with some degree of certainty, potentially useful, novel, or validates some hypothesis that a user seeks to confirm
Objective: based on statistics and structures of patterns, e.g., support, confidence, etc. Subjective: based on user s belief in the data, e.g., unexpectedness, novelty, actionability, etc.
33
Can a data mining system find all the interesting patterns? Do we need to find all of the interesting patterns? Heuristic vs. exhaustive search Association vs. classification vs. clustering Can a data mining system find only the interesting patterns? Approaches
First general all the patterns and then filter out the uninteresting ones Generate only the interesting patterns mining query optimization
Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques
34
But approximate patterns can be more compact and sufficient How to find high quality approximate patterns?? How to derive efficient approximate pattern mining algorithms??
Why constraint-based mining? What are the possible kinds of constraints? How to push constraints into the mining process?
Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques
35
Finding all the patterns autonomously in a database? unrealistic because the patterns could be too many but uninteresting User directs what to be mined
Users must be provided with a set of primitives to be used to communicate with the data mining system Incorporating these primitives in a data mining query language
More flexible user interaction Foundation for design of graphical user interface Standardization of data mining industry and practice
36
Task-relevant data
Database or data warehouse name Database tables or data warehouse cubes Condition for data selection Relevant attributes or dimensions Data grouping criteria Characterization, discrimination, association, classification, prediction, clustering, outlier analysis, other data mining tasks
37
E.g., street < city < province_or_state < country E.g., {20-39} = young, {40-59} = middle_aged email address: hagonzal@cs.uiuc.edu login-name < department < university < country
Set-grouping hierarchy
Operation-derived hierarchy
Rule-based hierarchy
low_profit_margin (X) <= price(X, P1) and cost (X, P2) and (P1 P2) < $50
Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques
38
Simplicity e.g., (association) rule length, (decision) tree size Certainty e.g., confidence, P(A|B) = #(A and B)/ #(B), classification reliability or accuracy, certainty factor, rule strength, rule quality, discriminating weight, etc.
Novelty not previously known, surprising (used to remove redundant rules, e.g., Illinois vs. Champaign rule implication support ratio)
39
Discovered knowledge might be more understandable when represented at high level of abstraction
Interactive drill up/down, pivoting, slicing and dicing provide different perspectives to data
Different kinds of knowledge require different representation: association, classification, clustering, etc.
40
Motivation
A DMQL can provide the ability to support ad-hoc and interactive data mining By providing a standardized language like SQL
Hope to achieve a similar effect like that SQL has on relational database Foundation for system development and evolution Facilitate information exchange, technology transfer, commercialization and wide acceptance

Providing a platform and process structure for effective data mining Emphasizing on deploying data mining technology to solve business problems
43
Necessity of mining knowledge and patterns at different levels of abstraction by drilling/rolling, pivoting, slicing/dicing, etc.
44
Provide efficient implement a few data mining primitives in a DB/DW system, e.g., sorting, indexing, aggregation, histogram analysis, multiway join, precomputation of some stat functions
DM is smoothly integrated into a DB/DW system, mining query is optimized based on mining query, indexing, query processing methods, etc.
