Department of IT, SVCET
Introduction to Data Mining
Why Mine Data? Commercial Viewpoint
• Lots of data is being collected
and warehoused
– Web data, e-commerce
– purchases at department/
grocery stores
– Bank/Credit Card
transactions
• Twice as much information was created in 2002 as in 1999 (~30% growth rate)
• Other growth rate estimates even higher
Largest databases in 2007
• Largest database in the world: World Data Centre for Climate
(WDCC) operated by the Max Planck Institute and German
Climate Computing Centre
– 220 terabytes of data on climate research and climatic trends,
– 110 terabytes worth of climate simulation data.
– 6 petabytes worth of additional information stored on tapes.
• AT&T
– 323 terabytes of information
– 1.9 trillion phone call records
• Google
– 91 million searches per day,
• After a year worth of searches, this figure amounts to more than 33
trillion database entries.
Top 10 Largest Databases in the
World
• Library of Congress
• Central Intelligence Agency
• Amazon
• YouTube
• ChoicePoint
• Sprint
• Google
• AT&T
• National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center
• World Data Centre for Climate

Why Mine Data? Scientific Viewpoint
• Data is collected and stored at
enormous speeds (GB/hour). E.g.
– remote sensors on a satellite
– telescopes scanning the skies
– scientific simulations
generating terabytes of data
• Very little data will ever be looked at
by a human
• Knowledge Discovery is NEEDED
to make sense and use of data.
Data Mining
• Data mining is the process of automatically discovering useful
information in large data repositories.
• Human analysts may take weeks to discover useful information.
• Much of the data is never analyzed at all.

What is (not) Data Mining?
 What is Data Mining?
– Certain names are more
prevalent in certain locations
(O’Brien, O’Rurke, O’Reilly…
in Boston area)
–Discover groups of similar
documents on the Web
 What is not Data
Mining?
– Look up phone
number in phone
directory
– Query a Web
search engine for
information about
“Amazon”

Data Mining Tasks
Data mining involves six common classes of tasks:
• Anomaly detection (Outlier/change/deviation detection)
• Association rule learning (Dependency modelling)
• Clustering
• Classification
• Regression
• Summarization
Data Mining Tasks
Data mining tasks are generally divided into two major categories:
• Predictive tasks [Use some attributes to predict unknown or future
values of other attributes.]
• Classification
• Regression
• Deviation Detection
• Descriptive tasks [Find human-interpretable patterns that describe the
data.]
• Association Discovery
• Clustering
Architecture of Data Mining
• Knowledge Base
• Data Mining Engine
• Pattern Evaluation
Module
• User interface
Classification of Data Mining Systems
Data mining process:
• State the problem
and formulate the
hypothesis
• Collect the data
Major Issues In Data Mining
1. Mining different kinds of knowledge in databases
2. Interactive mining of knowledge at multiple levels of
abstraction
3. Incorporation of background knowledge
4. Data mining query languages and ad hoc data mining
5. Presentation and visualization of data mining results
6. Handling noisy or incomplete data
7. Pattern evaluation
8. Efficiency and scalability of data mining algorithms
9. Parallel, distributed, and incremental mining algorithms
Predictive Data Mining or
Supervised learning
• Given a collection of records (training set)
– Each record contains a set of attributes, one of the attributes is the class.
• Find ("learn") a model for the class attribute as a function of the
values of the other attributes.
• Goal: previously unseen records should be assigned a class as
accurately as possible.
Learning
We can think of at least three different problems being involved in
learning:
• memory,
• averaging, and
• generalization.
Example problem
(Adapted from Leslie Kaelbling's example in the MIT courseware)
• Imagine that I'm trying predict whether my neighbor is going to
drive into work, so I can ask for a ride.
• Whether she drives into work seems to depend on the following
attributes of the day:
– temperature,
– expected precipitation,
– day of the week,
– what she's wearing.
Memory
• Okay. Let's say we observe our neighbor on three days:
Clothes
Shop
Day
Precip
Temp
Walk
Casual
No
Sat
None
25
Drive
Casual
Yes
Mon
Snow
-5
Walk
Casual
Yes
Mon
Snow
15
Memory
• Now, we find ourselves on a snowy “–5” – degree Monday, when
the neighbor is wearing casual clothes and going shopping.
• Do you think she's going to drive?
Temp Precip Day Clothes
25 None Sat Casual Walk
-5 Snow Mon Casual Drive
15 Snow Mon Casual Walk
-5 Snow Mon Casual
Memory
• The standard answer in this case is "yes".
– This day is just like one of the ones we've seen before, and so it
seems like a good bet to predict "yes."
• This is about the most rudimentary form of learning, which is just
to memorize the things you've seen before.
Temp Precip Day Clothes
25 None Sat Casual Walk
-5 Snow Mon Casual Drive
15 Snow Mon Casual Walk
-5 Snow Mon Casual Drive
Noisy Data
• Things aren’t always as easy as they were in the previous case. What if
you get this set of noisy data?
Temp Precip Day Clothes
25 None Sat Casual Walk
25 None Sat Casual Walk
25 None Sat Casual Drive
25 None Sat Casual Drive
25 None Sat Casual Walk
25 None Sat Casual Walk
25 None Sat Casual Walk
25 None Sat Casual ?
• Now, we are asked to predict what's going to happen.
• We have certainly seen this case before.
• But the problem is that it has had different answers. Our neighbor is
not entirely reliable.
Averaging
• One strategy would be to predict the majority outcome.
– The neighbor walked more times than she drove in this situation, so
we might predict "walk".
Temp Precip Day Clothes
25 None Sat Casual Walk
25 None Sat Casual Walk
25 None Sat Casual Drive
25 None Sat Casual Drive
25 None Sat Casual Walk
25 None Sat Casual Walk
25 None Sat Casual Walk
25 None Sat Casual Walk
Generalization
• Dealing with previously unseen cases
• Will she walk or drive?
Temp Precip Day Clothes
22 None Fri Casual Walk
3 None Sun Casual Walk
10 Rain Wed Casual Walk
30 None Mon Casual Drive
20 None Sat Formal Drive
25 None Sat Casual Drive
-5 Snow Mon Casual Drive
27 None Tue Casual Drive
24 Rain Mon Casual ?
• We might plausibly
make any of the
following arguments:
– She's going to
walk because it's
raining today and
the only other time
it rained, she
walked.
– She's going to
drive because she
has always driven
on Mondays…

Test Data
Assign Cheat to “No”
Classification: Direct Marketing
– Goal: Reduce cost of mailing by targeting a set of consumers likely
to buy a new cell-phone product.
– Approach:
• Use the data for a similar product introduced before.
• We know which customers decided to buy and which decided
otherwise. This {buy, don’t buy} decision forms the class attribute.
• Collect various demographic, lifestyle, and other related information
about all such customers. E.g.
• Type of business,
• where they stay,
• how much they earn, etc.
• Use this information as input attributes to learn a classifier model.
Classification: Fraud Detection
• Goal: Predict fraudulent cases in credit
card transactions.
• Approach:
• Use credit card transactions and the
information associated with them as
attributes, e.g.
– when does a customer buy,
– what does he buy,
– where does he buy, etc.
• Label some 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: Attrition/Churn
• Situation: Attrition rate for mobile
phone customers is around 25-30% a
year!
• 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. E.g.
– 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.
Success story (Reported in 2003):
• Verizon Wireless performed
this kind of data mining
reducing attrition rate from
over 2% per month to under
1.5% per month.
• Huge impact, with >30 M
subscribers (0.5% is 150,000
customers).
Assessing Credit Risk
• Situation: Person applies for a loan
• Task: Should a bank approve the loan?
– People who have the best credit don’t need the loans
– People with worst credit are not likely to repay.
– Bank’s best customers are in the middle
• Banks develop credit models using a variety of data mining
methods.
• Mortgage and credit card proliferation are the results of being
able to "successfully" predict if a person is likely to default on a
loan.
• Widely deployed in many countries.
Frequent-Itemset Mining
(Association Discovery)
The Market-Basket Model
• A large set of items, e.g., things sold in a supermarket.
• A large set of baskets, each of which is a small set of the items,
e.g., the things one customer buys on one day.
Fundamental problem
• What sets of items are often bought together?
Application
• If a large number of baskets contain both hot dogs and mustard,
we can use this information in several ways. How?
Hot Dogs and Mustard
1. Apparently, many people walk from where the hot dogs are to
where the mustard is.
• We can put them close together, and put between them other foods
that might also be bought with hot dogs and mustard, e.g., ketchup
or potato chips.
• Doing so can generate additional "impulse" sales.
2. The store can run a sale on hot dogs and at the same time raise
the price of mustard.
• People will come to the store for the cheap hot dogs, and many will
need mustard too.
• It is not worth the trouble to go to another store for cheaper
mustard, so they buy that too.
• The store makes back on mustard what it loses on hot dogs, and
also gets more customers into the store.
On-Line Purchases
• Amazon.com offers several million different items for sale, and
has several tens of millions of customers.
• Basket = Customer, Item = Book, DVD, etc.
– Motivation: Find out what items are bought together.
• Basket = Book, DVD, etc. Item = Customer
– Motivation: Find out similar customers.
Words and Documents
• Baskets = sentences; items = words in those sentences.
– Lets us find words that appear together unusually frequently, i.e.,
linked concepts.
• Baskets = sentences, items = documents containing those
sentences.
– Items that appear together too often could represent plagiarism.
Genes
• Baskets = people; items = genes or blood-chemistry factors.
– Has been used to detect combinations of genes that result in
diabetes
Clustering
• Given a set of data points, each having a set of attributes, and a
similarity measure among them, find clusters such that
– Data points in one cluster are more similar to one another.
– Data points in separate clusters are less similar to one another.
• Similarity Measures:
– Euclidean Distance if attributes are continuous.
– Other Problem-specific Measures.
E.g. Euclidean Distance Based Clustering in 3-D space.
Intracluster distances
are minimized
Intercluster distances
are maximized
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.
Clustering: Application 2
• Document Clustering:
– Goal: To find groups of documents that are similar to each other based
on the important words appearing in them.
– Approach:
• Identify frequently occurring words in each document.
• Form a similarity measure based on the frequencies of different
terms. Use it to cluster.
– Gain: Information Retrieval can utilize the clusters to relate a new
document to clustered documents.
Each article is represented as a set of word-
frequency pairs (w, c).
There are two natural
clusters in the data set.
The first cluster
consists of the first four
articles, which
correspond to news
about the economy.
The second cluster
contains the last four
articles, which
correspond to news
about health care.

  • 17. Example problem (Adapted from Leslie Kaelbling's example in the MIT courseware) • Imagine that I'm trying predict whether my neighbor is going to drive into work, so I can ask for a ride. • Whether she drives into work seems to depend on the following attributes of the day: – temperature, – expected precipitation, – day of the week, – what she's wearing.
  • 18. Memory • Okay. Let's say we observe our neighbor on three days: Clothes Shop Day Precip Temp Walk Casual No Sat None 25 Drive Casual Yes Mon Snow -5 Walk Casual Yes Mon Snow 15
  • 19. Memory • Now, we find ourselves on a snowy “–5” – degree Monday, when the neighbor is wearing casual clothes and going shopping. • Do you think she's going to drive? Temp Precip Day Clothes 25 None Sat Casual Walk -5 Snow Mon Casual Drive 15 Snow Mon Casual Walk -5 Snow Mon Casual
  • 20. Memory • The standard answer in this case is "yes". – This day is just like one of the ones we've seen before, and so it seems like a good bet to predict "yes." • This is about the most rudimentary form of learning, which is just to memorize the things you've seen before.

  • 21. Noisy Data • Things aren’t always as easy as they were in the previous case. What if you get this set of noisy data? Temp Precip Day Clothes 25 None Sat Casual Walk 25 None Sat Casual Walk 25 None Sat Casual Drive 25 None Sat Casual Drive 25 None Sat Casual Walk 25 None Sat Casual Walk 25 None Sat Casual Walk 25 None Sat Casual ? • Now, we are asked to predict what's going to happen. • We have certainly seen this case before. • But the problem is that it has had different answers. Our neighbor is not entirely reliable.
  • 22. Averaging • One strategy would be to predict the majority outcome. – The neighbor walked more times than she drove in this situation, so we might predict "walk". Temp Precip Day Clothes 25 None Sat Casual Walk 25 None Sat Casual Walk 25 None Sat Casual Drive 25 None Sat Casual Drive 25 None Sat Casual Walk 25 None Sat Casual Walk 25 None Sat Casual Walk 25 None Sat Casual Walk
  • 23. Generalization • Dealing with previously unseen cases • Will she walk or drive? Temp Precip Day Clothes 22 None Fri Casual Walk 3 None Sun Casual Walk 10 Rain Wed Casual Walk 30 None Mon Casual Drive 20 None Sat Formal Drive 25 None Sat Casual Drive -5 Snow Mon Casual Drive 27 None Tue Casual Drive 24 Rain Mon Casual ? • We might plausibly make any of the following arguments: – She's going to walk because it's raining today and the only other time it rained, she walked. – She's going to drive because she has always driven on Mondays…

  • 32. Classification: Direct Marketing – Goal: Reduce cost of mailing by targeting a set of consumers likely to buy a new cell-phone product. – Approach: • Use the data for a similar product introduced before. • We know which customers decided to buy and which decided otherwise. This {buy, don’t buy} decision forms the class attribute. • Collect various demographic, lifestyle, and other related information about all such customers. E.g. • Type of business, • where they stay, • how much they earn, etc. • Use this information as input attributes to learn a classifier model.
  • 33. Classification: Fraud Detection • Goal: Predict fraudulent cases in credit card transactions. • Approach: • Use credit card transactions and the information associated with them as attributes, e.g. – when does a customer buy, – what does he buy, – where does he buy, etc. • Label some 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.
  • 34. Classification: Attrition/Churn • Situation: Attrition rate for mobile phone customers is around 25-30% a year! • 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. E.g. – 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. Success story (Reported in 2003): • Verizon Wireless performed this kind of data mining reducing attrition rate from over 2% per month to under 1.5% per month. • Huge impact, with >30 M subscribers (0.5% is 150,000 customers).
  • 35. Assessing Credit Risk • Situation: Person applies for a loan • Task: Should a bank approve the loan? – People who have the best credit don’t need the loans – People with worst credit are not likely to repay. – Bank’s best customers are in the middle • Banks develop credit models using a variety of data mining methods. • Mortgage and credit card proliferation are the results of being able to "successfully" predict if a person is likely to default on a loan. • Widely deployed in many countries.
  • 36. Frequent-Itemset Mining (Association Discovery) The Market-Basket Model • A large set of items, e.g., things sold in a supermarket. • A large set of baskets, each of which is a small set of the items, e.g., the things one customer buys on one day. Fundamental problem • What sets of items are often bought together? Application • If a large number of baskets contain both hot dogs and mustard, we can use this information in several ways. How?
  • 37. Hot Dogs and Mustard 1. Apparently, many people walk from where the hot dogs are to where the mustard is. • We can put them close together, and put between them other foods that might also be bought with hot dogs and mustard, e.g., ketchup or potato chips. • Doing so can generate additional "impulse" sales. 2. The store can run a sale on hot dogs and at the same time raise the price of mustard. • People will come to the store for the cheap hot dogs, and many will need mustard too. • It is not worth the trouble to go to another store for cheaper mustard, so they buy that too. • The store makes back on mustard what it loses on hot dogs, and also gets more customers into the store.
  • 38. On-Line Purchases • Amazon.com offers several million different items for sale, and has several tens of millions of customers. • Basket = Customer, Item = Book, DVD, etc. – Motivation: Find out what items are bought together. • Basket = Book, DVD, etc. Item = Customer – Motivation: Find out similar customers.
  • 39. Words and Documents • Baskets = sentences; items = words in those sentences. – Lets us find words that appear together unusually frequently, i.e., linked concepts. • Baskets = sentences, items = documents containing those sentences. – Items that appear together too often could represent plagiarism.
  • 40. Genes • Baskets = people; items = genes or blood-chemistry factors. – Has been used to detect combinations of genes that result in diabetes
  • 41. Clustering • Given a set of data points, each having a set of attributes, and a similarity measure among them, find clusters such that – Data points in one cluster are more similar to one another. – Data points in separate clusters are less similar to one another. • Similarity Measures: – Euclidean Distance if attributes are continuous. – Other Problem-specific Measures. E.g. Euclidean Distance Based Clustering in 3-D space. Intracluster distances are minimized Intercluster distances are maximized
  • 42. 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.
  • 43. Clustering: Application 2 • Document Clustering: – Goal: To find groups of documents that are similar to each other based on the important words appearing in them. – Approach: • Identify frequently occurring words in each document. • Form a similarity measure based on the frequencies of different terms. Use it to cluster. – Gain: Information Retrieval can utilize the clusters to relate a new document to clustered documents. Each article is represented as a set of word- frequency pairs (w, c). There are two natural clusters in the data set. The first cluster consists of the first four articles, which correspond to news about the economy. The second cluster contains the last four articles, which correspond to news about health care.
