  4. Why KDD? We are drowning in information, but starving for knowledge John Naisbett Growing Gap between Data Generation and Data Understanding: Automation of business activities: Telephone calls, credit card charges, medical tests, etc. Earth observation satellites: Estimated will generate one terabyte (1015 bytes) of data per day. At a rate of one picture per second. Biology: Human Genome database project has collected over gigabytes of data on the human genetic code [Fasman, Cuticchia, Kingsbury, 1994.] US Census data: NASA databases: … World Wide Web: UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C.

  5. Process of KDD [1] Fayyad, U., Editorial, Int. J. of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Vol.1, Issue 1, 1997. [2] Fayyad, U., G. Piatetsky-Shapiro, and P. Smyth, "From data mining to knowledge discovery: an overview," in Advances in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, Fayyad et al (Eds.), MIT Press, 1996. UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan

  6. Process of KDD • Selection • Learning the application domain • Creating a target dataset • Pre-Processing • Data cleaning and preprocessing • Transformation • Data reduction and projection • Data Mining • Choosing the functions and algorithms of data mining • Association rules, classification rules, clustering rules • Interpretation and Evaluation • Validate and verify discovered patterns • Using discovered knowledge UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan

  7. Typical Data Mining Tasks • Finding Association Rules [Rakesh Agrawal et al, 1993] • Each transaction is a set of items. Given a set of transactions, an association rule is of the form X  Y where X and Y are sets of items. • e.g.: 30% of transactions that contain beer also contain diapers; • 2% of all transactions contain both of these items. Applications: • Market basket analysis and cross-marketing • Catalog design • Store layout • Buying patterns UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan

  8. Finding Sequential Patterns • Each data sequence is a list of transactions. • Find all sequential patterns with a user-specified minimum support. • e.g.: Consider a book-club database • A sequential pattern might be • 5% of customers bought “Harry Potter I”, then “Harry Potter II”, and then “Harry Potter III”. Applications: • Add-on sales • Customer satisfaction • Identify symptoms/diseases that precede certain diseases UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan

  9. Finding Classification Rules • Finding discriminant rules for objects of different classes. • Approaches: • Finding Decision Trees • Finding Production Rules Applications: • Process loans and credit cards applications • Model identification UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan

  11. Related Technologies • Database Systems • MS SQL server • Transaction databases • OLAP (Data Cubes) • Data Mining • Decision Trees • Clustering Tools • Machine Learning/Data Mining Systems • CART (Classification And Regression Trees) • C 5.x (Decision Trees) • WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) • LERS • ROSE 2 • Rule-Based Expert System Development Environments • CLIPS, JESS • EXSYS • Web-based Platforms • Java • MS .Net UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C.

  12. Comparisons UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan

  13. Rule-Based Data Mining System Objectives • Develop an integrated rule-based data mining system provides • Synergy of database systems, machine learning, and expert systems • Dealing with uncertain rules • Delivery of web-based user interface UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan

  14. Structure of Rule-Based Systems UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan

  15. System Workflow Input Data Set User Interface Generator Data Pre-processing Rule Generator UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan

  16. Input Data Set: Text file with comma separated values (CSV) It is assumed that there are N columns of values corresponding to N variables or parameters, which may be real or symbolic values. The first N – 1 variables are considered as inputs and the last one is the output variable. Data Preprocessing: Discretize domains of real variables into a finite number of intervals Discretized data file is then used to generate an attribute information file and a training data file. Rule Generator: A symbolic learning program called BLEM2 is used to generate rules with uncertainty User Interface Generator: Generate a web-based rule-based system from a rule file and corresponding attribute file UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C.

  18. Concluding Remarks A system for generating rule-based classifier from data with the following benefits: • No need of end user programming • Automatic rule-based system creation • Delivery system is web-based provides easy access UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan

  19. Project Status The current version 1.4 of our system provides fundamental features for data mining from data including: • Data Preprocessing • Management of preprocessed data files • Machine Learning tool to generate rules from data • Rule-Based Classifier system supporting uncertain rules • Web-Based access UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan

  20. Future Work • More advanced features in Data Preprocessing such as data cleansing, data transformation, and data statistics • Learning from multi-criteria inputs with preferential rankings to support Multiple Criteria Decision Making processes • Concept-Oriented information retrieval and search UA Faculty Forum 2008 by C.-C. Chan
