    Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdomby Gene Bellinger , Durval Castro , Anthony Mills

    According to Russell Ackoff, content of human mind can be

    classified into five categories: Data, Information, Knowledge,Understanding and wisdom

    Data: Symbols

    Data represents a fact or statement of event without relationto other things.

    Data is raw. It simply exists and has no significance beyondits existence (in and of itself). It can exist in any form,

    usable or not. It does not have meaning of itself. In computerparlance, a spreadsheet generally starts out by holding data.

    Ex: It is raining.

    Content of Human Mind

    Information: Data that are processed to beuseful; provides answer to who, what,where, and when questions. Information is data that has been given meaning by way of

    relational connection. This "meaning" can be useful, butdoes not have to be. In computer parlance, a relational database makes

    information from the data stored within it.

    Information embodies the understanding of a relationship of some sort, possibly cause and effect. Example The temperature dropped 15 degrees and then it

    started raining.

    Knowledge: application of data and information;answers how questions. Knowledge is the appropriate collection of information,

    such that it's intent is to be useful. Knowledge is a

    deterministic process. When someone "memorizes"information (as less-aspiring test-bound students oftendo), then they have amassed knowledge.

    Ex: If the humidity is very high and the temperature

    drops suddenly the atmosphere is often unlikely to beable to hold the moisture so it rains.

    Content of Human Mind

  • 8/2/2019 Dwdm Intro

    5/103

    Understanding: appreciation of why

    It is the process by which one can take knowledge and synthesizenew knowledge from the previously held knowledge. The difference between understanding and knowledge is the

    difference between "learning" and "memorizing". People who have understanding can undertake useful actions because

    they can synthesize new knowledge, or in some cases, at least newinformation, from what is previously known (and understood).

    That is, understanding can build upon currently held information,knowledge and understanding itself.

    In computer parlance, AI systems possess understanding in the sensethat they are able to synthesize new knowledge from previouslystored information and knowledge.

    Content of Human Mind

  • 8/2/2019 Dwdm Intro

    6/103

    Content of human mind Wisdom: evaluated understanding

    It is the process by which we also discern, or judge, between right and wrong, good

    and bad. I personally believe that computers do not have, and will never have theability to posses wisdom.

    Ex: It rains because it rains. And this encompasses an understanding of all the

    interactions that happen between raining, evaporation, air currents, temperature

    gradients, changes, and raining.

    Mining Large Data Sets - Motivation

    There is often information hidden in the data that is

    not readily evident Human analysts may take weeks to discover useful

    information Much of the data is never analyzed at all

    Evolution of Sciences

    Before 1600, empirical science

    1600-1950s, theoretical science

    Each discipline has grown a theoretical component. Theoretical models often motivateexperiments and generalize our understanding.

    1950s-1990s, computational science

    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 findclosed-form solutions for complex mathematical models.

    1990-now, data science

    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!

    Regarding this course Emphasis is on efficient and scalable data mining techniques.

    Algorithms must be highly scalable to handle such as tera-bytes of data

    Scalability: Running time should grow approximately linearlyin proportion to the size of data given the available resourcessuch as main memory and disk space.

    Using the proposed techniques, interesting knowledge,regularities or high-level information can be extracted

    from the databases and viewed or browsed fromdifferent angles.

    What is Data Warehouse?

    Defined in many different ways, but not rigorously. A decision support database that is maintained separately from the

    organizations operational database

    Support information processing by providing a solid platform of

    consolidated, historical data for analysis.

    A data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated, time-

    variant, and nonvolatile collection of data in support of

    managements decision -making process. W. H. Inmon

    Data warehousing:

    The process of constructing and using data warehouses

  • 8/2/2019 Dwdm Intro

    44/103

    Data Warehouse Subject-Oriented

    Organized around major subjects, such as customer,product, sales

    Focusing on the modeling and analysis of data for

    decision makers, not on daily operations ortransaction processing

    Provide a simple and concise view around particular

    subject issues by excluding data that are not useful in

    the decision support process

    Data Warehouse Time Variant

    The time horizon for the data warehouse issignificantly longer than that of operational systems Operational database: current value data

    Data warehouse data: provide information from ahistorical perspective (e.g., past 5-10 years)

    Every key structure in the data warehouse Contains an element of time, explicitly or implicitly

    But the key of operational data may or may not containtime element

  • 8/2/2019 Dwdm Intro

    47/103

    Data Warehouse Nonvolatile

    A physically separate store of data transformed fromthe operational environment

    Operational update of data does not occur in the data

    warehouse environment

    Does not require transaction processing, recovery, and

    concurrency control mechanisms

    Requires only two operations in data accessing:

    initial loading of data and access of data

  • 8/2/2019 Dwdm Intro

    48/103

    Data Warehouse vs. Heterogeneous DBMS

    Traditional heterogeneous DB integration: A query driven

    approach

    Build wrappers/mediators on top of heterogeneous databases

    When a query is posed to a client site, a meta-dictionary is used to

    translate the query into queries appropriate for individual heterogeneous

    sites involved, and the results are integrated into a global answer set

    Complex information filtering, compete for resources

    Data warehouse: update-driven, high performance

    Information from heterogeneous sources is integrated in advance and

    stored in warehouses for direct query and analysis

  • 8/2/2019 Dwdm Intro

    Data Warehouse vs. Operational DBMS

    OLTP (on-line transaction processing) Major task of traditional relational DBMS Day-to-day operations: purchasing, inventory, banking, manufacturing,

    payroll, registration, accounting, etc.

    OLAP (on-line analytical processing) Major task of data warehouse system Data analysis and decision making

    Distinct features (OLTP vs. OLAP):

    User and system orientation: customer vs. market Data contents: current, detailed vs. historical, consolidated

    Database design: ER + application vs. star + subject

    View: current, local vs. evolutionary, integrated

    Why Separate Data Warehouse? High performance for both systems

    DBMS tuned for OLTP: access methods, indexing, concurrencycontrol, recovery

    Warehouse tuned for OLAP: complex OLAP queries,multidimensional view, consolidation

    Different functions and different data: missing data : Decision support requires historical data which operational

    DBs do not typically maintain

    data consolidation : DS requires consolidation (aggregation,summarization) of data from heterogeneous sources

    data quality : different sources typically use inconsistent datarepresentations, codes and formats which have to be reconciled

    Note: There are more and more systems which perform OLAPanalysis directly on relational databases

    Association Rule Discovery: Definition

    Given a set of records each of which contain somenumber of items from a given collection; Produce dependency rules which will predict occurrence of

    an item based on occurrences of other items.

    TID Items

    1 Bread, Coke, Milk

    2 Beer, Bread

    3 Beer, Coke, Diaper, Milk4 Beer, Bread, Diaper, Milk

    5 Coke, Diaper, Milk

    Rules Discovered:{Milk} --> {Coke}{Diaper, Milk} --> {Beer}

  • 8/2/2019 Dwdm Intro

    67/103

    Association Rule Discovery: Application 1

    Marketing and Sales Promotion: Let the rule discovered be {Bagels, } --> {Potato Chips}

    Potato Chips as consequent => Can be used to determinewhat should be done to boost its sales.

    Bagels in the antecedent => Can be used to see whichproducts would be affected if the store discontinues sellingbagels.

    Bagels in antecedent and Potato chips in consequent =>Can be used to see what products should be sold withBagels to promote sale of Potato chips!

    Association Rule Discovery: Application 2

    Supermarket shelf management. Goal: To identify items that are bought together by

    sufficiently many customers. Approach: Process the point-of-sale data collected

    with barcode scanners to find dependencies amongitems.

    A classic rule --

    If a customer buys diaper and milk, then he is verylikely to buy beer.

    So, dont be surprised if you find six -packs stacked nextto diapers!

    Association Rule Discovery: Application 3

    Clustering Definition

    Given a set of data points, each having a set of attributes, and a similarity measure amongthem, find clusters such that

    Data points in one cluster are more similar to oneanother. Data points in separate clusters are less similar to

    one another.

    Similarity Measures: Euclidean Distance if attributes are continuous. Other Problem-specific Measures.

    Clustering: Application 1

    Market Segmentation: Goal: subdivide a market into distinct subsets of

    customers where any subset may conceivably be selectedas a market target to be reached with a distinct marketing

    mix. Approach:

    Collect different attributes of customers based on theirgeographical and lifestyle related information.

    Find clusters of similar customers. Measure the clustering quality by observing buying patterns of

    customers in same cluster vs. those from different clusters.

    75/103

    Clustering: Application 2

    Document Clustering: Goal: To find groups of documents that are similar to each

    other based on the important terms appearing in them. Approach: To identify frequently occurring terms in each

    document. Form a similarity measure based on thefrequencies of different terms. Use it to cluster. Gain: Information Retrieval can utilize the clusters to relate

    a new document or search term to clustered documents.

    Classification: Definition

    Given a collection of records ( training set ) Each record contains a set of attributes , one of theattributes is the class .

    Find a model for class attribute as a function

    of the values of other attributes. Goal: previously unseen records should be

    assigned a class as accurately as possible. A test set is used to determine the accuracy of the model.

    Usually, the given data set is divided into training andtest sets, with training set used to build the model andtest set used to validate it.

    Classification: Application 1

    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, dont buy} decision forms the classattribute .

    Collect various demographic, lifestyle, and company-interaction

    related information about all such customers. Type of business, where they stay, how much they earn, etc.

    Use this information as input attributes to learn a classifier model.

    Classification: Application 2

    Fraud Detection Goal: Predict fraudulent cases in credit card transactions. Approach:

    Use credit card transactions and the information on its account-holder as attributes.

    When does a customer buy, what does he buy, how often he pays ontime, etc

    Label past transactions as fraud or fair transactions. This forms theclass attribute.

    Learn a model for the class of the transactions.

    Use this model to detect fraud by observing credit cardtransactions on an account.

    Classification: Application 3

    Customer Attrition/Churn: 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. 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.

    Sky Survey Cataloging Goal: To predict class (star or galaxy) of sky objects,

    especially visually faint ones, based on the telescopicsurvey images (from Palomar Observatory).

    3000 images with 23,040 x 23,040 pixels per image.

    Approach: Segment the image. Measure image attributes (features) - 40 of them per object.

    Model the class based on these features. Success Story: Could find 16 new high red-shift quasars, some of

    the farthest objects that are difficult to find!
