An Introduction to Mining (1)
IDADM
What is DATA MINING? (1)
“Data Mining is the process of discovering actionable and meaningful patterns, profiles, and trends by sifting through your data using pattern recognition technologies (…) is a hot new technology about one of the oldest processes of human endeavour: pattern recognition (…) It is an iterative process of extracting knowledge from business transactions (…) DM is the automatic discovery of usable knowledge from your stored data.”
Jesús Mena: Data Mining your Website
(Digital Press, 1999, available @ books.google)

What is DATA MINING? (2)
“Data Mining, by its simplest definition, automates the detection of relevant patterns in a database (…) For many years, statisticians have manually “mined” databases (…) DM uses well‐established statistical and machine learning techniques to build models that predict customer behaviour. Today, technology automates the mining process, integrates it with commercial data warehouses, and presents it in a relevant way for business users (…) the leading DM products address the broader business and technical issues, such as their integration into complex IT environments.”

What is DATA MINING? (3)
WIKIPEDIA 2005 DIXIT: “Data mining has been defined as "The nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data" (1) and "The science of extracting useful information from large data sets or databases" (2). Although it is usually used in relation to analysis of data, data mining, like artificial intelligence, is an umbrella term and is used with varied meaning in a wide range of contexts.”

WIKIPEDIA’06 DIXIT: “Data mining (DM), also called Knowledge‐Discovery in Databases (KDD) or Knowledge‐Discovery and Data Mining, is the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns such as association rules. It is a fairly recent topic in computer science but applies many older computational techniques from statistics, information retrieval, machine learning and pattern recognition.

What is DATA MINING? (5)
In 1996, in the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on KDD, Fayyad gave one of the best‐known definitions of Knowledge Discovery from Data:
“The non‐trivial process of identifying valid, novel, potentially useful, and ultimately understandable patterns in data.”
KDD quickly gathered strength as an interdisciplinary research field where a combination of advanced techniques from Statistics, Artificial Intelligence, Information Systems, and Visualization are used to tackle knowledge acquisition from large data bases. The term Knowledge Discovery from Data appeared in 1989 referring to the:
“[...] overall process of finding and interpreting patterns from data, typically interactive and iterative, involving repeated application of specific data mining methods or algorithms and the interpretation of the patterns generated by these algorithms.”

What is DATA MINING? (6)
WIKIPEDIA’08 DIXIT: “Data mining is the process of sorting through large amounts of data and picking out relevant information. It is usually used by business intelligence organizations, and financial analysts, but is increasingly being used in the sciences to extract information from the enormous data sets generated by modern experimental and observational methods. It has been described as "the nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data" and "the science of extracting useful information from large data sets or databases." Data mining in relation to enterprise resource planning is the statistical and logical analysis of large sets of transaction data, looking for patterns that can aid decision making.”

CRISP: a DM methodology
CRoss‐Industry Standard Process for Data Mining: neutral methodology from the point of view of industry, tool and application (free & non‐
proprietary)
Pete Chapman, Randy Kerber (NCR); Julian Clinton, Thomas Khabaza, Colin Shearer (SPSS), Thomas Reinartz, Rüdiger Wirth (DaimlerChrysler)
CRISP‐DM was conceived in 1996
DaimlerChrysler: leaders in industrial application, SPSS: leaders in product development (Clementine, 1994), NCR: owners of large (huge!) databases (Teradata)
Financed by the EU. Version 1.0 released officially in 1999

CRISP: Hierarchic structure of the methodology
IDADM
CRISP: Description of phases
Problem/Business understanding: study of targets and requirements form the
business/problem viewpoint. Defining it as a DM problem.
Data understanding: data recolection; getting to know the data, trying to detect
both quality problems and interesting features.
Data preparation: Preparing the data set to be modelled, starting from raw data. This is an iterative and exploratory process. Selection of files, tables, variables, record samples… plus data cleaning.
Modelling: Data analysis using modelling techniques of a sort that are suitable for
the problem at hand. Includes fiddling with the models, tuning their parameters, etc.
Evaluation: All previous steps must be evaluated as whole (as a unitary process), and we must decide whether deliverables so far meet the DM challenge. Implementation: All the knowledge aquired to this point must be organized and presented to the “client” in a usable form. We must define, together with this client, a protocol to reliably deploy the DM findings.
