DataJewel: A novel Architecture
for temporal data mining
Motivation:
In different domains, different kind of patterns are of interest
 Architecture that provides access to many temporal
mining algorithms
Databases are built based on organizational needs
 Architecture that links together databases
Databases can be huge in size
 Data has to be compressed
Current Data Mining tools are for data mining experts
 Architecture that is very intuitive and easy to use

The Temporal Mining Component
Goal: Mining algorithms should be

Very efficient (result in interactive times)

Types of patterns:
single event:
recurrence, periodicity,…
multiple events: similarity, causality, clustering,…

Tightly integrated with the visualization
Solution:

Algorithm computes pattern and updates visualization
by assigning unique colors just to events which are contained
in the pattern
All algorithms result in updating the color assignment:
- CalendarView visualizes the data and the patterns
- Same color assignment interface is used by the user and the algorithm
The Temporal Mining Component
Implemented new mining algorithms

LongestStreak

Most Deviations

Correlated Events

Basic ideas of algorithms are motivated by control charting
(stabilized p-chart)

The Statistical & Database Component
• Access to data from different databases
• Precompute compressed/aggregated/ sampled data
• Use lookup tables to further compress data
 Currently, we can analyze millions of records in real-time

Conclusions
Data mining algorithms and visualization technique can nicely
complement each other
CalendarView is a new visualization technique, representing
frequency of daily events
DataJewel uses the same visualization to represent the data and
the patterns. The color assignment interface is used by both the
user (to incorporate domain knowledge) and for the computer (to
represent the discovered patterns). These two key properties
greatly improve the applicability of the system by domain experts.
