2. Data Analysis using a Stereo Viewer
The student must implement a data mining application with a 3D interactive viewer
running on a portable PC with a standard graphics card. No specific hardware devices
will be required for implementing the system.
Data Analysis
The Breast Cancer dataset collects data about 286 patients of this disease
checking if the cancer reappears after its diagnosis and treatment. The dataset has 9
attributes and the reference class. The required system will:

Represent in 3D the instances of the dataset. It will be necessary to transform a
problem with dimension 9 (attributes) to a 3D space. This transformation following

any of the simple transformation techniques presented in class or more complex
techniques like the one described by Kandogan.
 Implement and use the KNN (K Nearest Neighbour) method for estimating the class
of the instance considering the K nearest patients.
 Interactively select X instances and compute the percentage of well classified
according to the estimated class and the correct class.

Visualization
For the development of the user interface and the visualization engine, the
student will be able to use any high level graphic tool like Unity3D, Qt, Coin3D, etc.
The student will be able to choose the OS where the application will run (Windows,
Mac, Linux). For the evaluation, portable code will be very well considered, although
this fact is not a requirement for the implementation. Another feature to be considered
in the evaluation will be the interactive reconfiguration of the 3D viewer parameters.
