Data Mining Background
Definition – the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information
Data Mining Software (ex. XL Miner) allows users to analyze data from many different dimensions, categorize it, and summarize the relationships identified
The Basics of Data Mining Analyzes relationships and patterns in stored
transaction data based on open-ended user queries Classes: Stored data is used to locate data in
predetermined groups Clusters: Data items are grouped according to logical
relationships or consumer preferences Associations: Data can be mined to identify
associations Sequential patterns: Data is mined to anticipate
behavior patterns and trends
Text Mining Background Definition: the discovery by computer of
previously unknown knowledge in text, by automatically extracting information from different written resources
Goal: to extract new, never-before encountered information
Text mining can expand the ability of data mining to deal with textual materials
Data are Key to Business Value
DATA: Measures of variables in categories Support Decision Making Provide Basis for Forecasting Important to
Obtain data from new sources (text mining) Integrate (mash) information from multiple sources
Software Example #1: VAIM (Value-Added Information Mash)
MINING: finding patterns in data (pattern-oriented, record-oriented searches)
MASHING: Integrating information mined from multiple resources Useful in Hospitals and for Government Campaigns
Software Example #2: IBM SPSS
Assists in Statistical Analysis in predicting trends
Categorizes data, Preforms Statistical Analysis Multiple Regressions to suggest causality
Software Example #3: XL Miner
Add-In on Microsoft Excel Products Builds off of software that companies already
possess
Assists in predictive forecasting based on observed data trends
Demonstration
Business Value Example #1: Grocery Store
Data mining using Oracle Analyzed buying patterns Finding lead to changes in Marketing Increased revenues
Value Example #2 - University of Rochester Cancer Center Using KnowledgeSEEKER software Studied effect of anxiety of Chemotherapy on
nausea Analysis helped improved treatment of
patients and improved quality of life.
Value Example #3: MGM Grand Hotel Analyzed customer satisfaction and probability
of return stay Found that the front desk and room where most
important Focused next 6 months improving 10% improvement in attrition Increased guest returns and profitability
Business Applications
Pros: Extracts new information
and Combines human linguistic capabilities with the speed and accuracy of a computer
Can answer the ‘Why?’
Competitive advantage
Cons: Expensive
Requires Training
Dependent on structure of warehouses and repositories
Complications & Concerns
Invasion of Privacy According to Lita van Wel and
Lamber Royakkers in “Ethical issues in web data mining”, privacy is considered lost when information about an individual is obtained, used, or spread without that individual’s permission
More Complications• Data is made anonymous
before gathered into profiles, there are no personal profiles; therefore these applications de-individualize the users by judging them just by their mouse clicks
• De-individualization: tendency of judging and treating people on the basis of group characteristics instead of on their own individual characteristics
More Concerns
Companies can claim to collect the data for one purpose and use it for another
The growing movement of selling personal data as a service encourages website owners to trade personal data obtained from their site
The companies that buy the data make it anonymous and these companies and assume ownership of the data that they release

Even More Complications
Some web mining algorithms might use controversial characteristics to categorize individuals, such as sex, race, religion, or sexual orientation This process could result in the refusal of service or a
privilege to an individual based on his race, religion, or sexual orientation.
Application Recommendations & Conclusion
Sync data repositories (VAIM Software) Training Use Data Mining and Text Mining together
