Data Mining Functionalities
(1)
Concept description: Characterization and
discrimination
Generalize, summarize, and contrast data
characteristics, e.g., dry vs. wet regions
Association (correlation and causality)
Multi-dimensional vs. single-dimensional association
age(X, “20..29”) ^ income(X, “20..29K”) buys(X,
“PC”) [support = 2%, confidence = 60%]
contains(T, “computer”) contains(x, “software”)
[1%, 75%]

Data Mining Functionalities
(2)
Classification and Prediction
Finding models (functions) that describe and distinguish
classes or concepts for future prediction
E.g., classify countries based on climate, or classify cars
based on gas mileage
Presentation: decision-tree, classification rule, neural network
Prediction: Predict some unknown or missing numerical
values
Cluster analysis
Class label is unknown: Group data to form new classes, e.g.,
cluster houses to find distribution patterns
Clustering based on the principle: maximizing the intra-class
similarity and minimizing the interclass similarity

Data Mining Functionalities
(3)
Outlier analysis
Outlier: a data object that does not comply with the general
behavior of the data
It can be considered as noise or exception but is quite useful
in fraud detection, rare events analysis
Trend and evolution analysis
Trend and deviation: regression analysis
Sequential pattern mining, periodicity analysis
Similarity-based analysis
Other pattern-directed or statistical analyses

Are All the “Discovered”
Patterns Interesting?
A data mining system/query may generate thousands of
patterns, not all of them are interesting.
Suggested approach: Human-centered, query-based, focused mining
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 vs. subjective interestingness measures:
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.

Can We Find All and Only
Interesting Patterns?
Find all the interesting patterns: Completeness
Can a data mining system find all the interesting patterns?
Association vs. classification vs. clustering
Search for only interesting patterns: Optimization
Can a data mining system find only the interesting
patterns?
Approaches
March 16, 2025
First general all the patterns and then filter out the
uninteresting ones.
Generate only the interesting patterns—mining query
optimization
