Why Data Mining?
 The Explosive Growth of Data: from terabytes to petabytes
 Data collection and data availability
 Automated data collection tools, database systems, Web, computerized
society
 Major sources of abundant data
 Business: Web, e-commerce, transactions, stocks, …
 Science: Remote sensing, bioinformatics, scientific simulation, …
 Society and everyone: news, digital cameras, YouTube
 We are drowning in data, but starving for knowledge!
 “Necessity is the mother of invention”—Data mining—Automated analysis of
massive data sets

Evolution of Sciences
 Before 1600, empirical science
 1600-1950s, theoretical science
 Each discipline has grown a theoretical component. Theoretical models often motivate
experiments and generalize our understanding.
 1950s-1990s, computational science
 Over the last 50 years, most disciplines have grown a third, computational branch (e.g.
empirical, theoretical, and computational ecology, or physics, or linguistics.)
 Computational Science traditionally meant simulation. It grew out of our inability to
find closed-form solutions for complex mathematical models.
 1990-now, data science
 The flood of data from new scientific instruments and simulations
 The ability to economically store and manage petabytes of data online
 The Internet and computing Grid that makes all these archives universally accessible
 Scientific info. management, acquisition, organization, query, and visualization tasks
scale almost linearly with data volumes. Data mining is a major new challenge!

Evolution of Database Technology
 1960s:
 Data collection, database creation, IMS and network DBMS
 1970s:
 Relational data model, relational DBMS implementation
 1980s:
 RDBMS, advanced data models (extended-relational, OO, deductive, etc.)
 Application-oriented DBMS (spatial, scientific, engineering, etc.)
 1990s:
 Data mining, data warehousing, multimedia databases, and Web databases
 2000s
 Stream data management and mining
 Data mining and its applications
 Web technology (XML, data integration) and global information systems

What Is Data Mining?

extraction, data/pattern analysis, data archeology, data dredging,
information harvesting, business intelligence, etc.

Integration of a data mining system with a
database or data warehouse system.
 The data mining system is integrated with a database or data
warehouse system so that it can do its tasks in an effective presence.
A data mining system operates in an environment that needed it to
communicate with other data systems like a database system. There
are the possible integration schemes that can integrate these systems
which are as follows −
 No coupling − No coupling defines that a data mining system
will not use any function of a database or data warehouse system.
It can retrieve data from a specific source (including a file
system), process data using some data mining algorithms, and
therefore save the mining results in a different file.

database or data warehouse system(cont.)
• Such a system, though simple, deteriorates from various
limitations. First, a Database system offers a big deal of
flexibility and adaptability at storing, organizing, accessing, and
processing data. Without using a Database/Data warehouse
system, a Data mining system can allocate a large amount of time
finding, collecting, cleaning, and changing data.
 Loose Coupling − In this data mining system uses some services
of a database or data warehouse system. The data is fetched from
a data repository handled by these systems. It is better than no
coupling as it can fetch some area of data stored in databases by
using query processing or various system facilities. Parallel,
distributed, stream, and incremental mining methods

database or data warehouse system(cont.)
 Semitight Coupling − In this adequate execution of a few essential
data mining primitives can be supported in the database/data ware
house system. These primitives can contain sorting, indexing,
aggregation, histogram analysis, multi-way join, and pre-
computation of some important statistical measures, including sum,
count, max, min, standard deviation, etc.
 Tight coupling − Tight coupling defines that a data mining system
is smoothly integrated into the database/data warehouse system. The
data mining subsystem is considered as one functional element of an
information system.
