Abstract

Wir werden einmal die Grundlagen des Text-Mining-Systems bei IBM darstellen, dann werden wir das Projekt etwas umfangreicher und deutlicher darstellen, da kennen wir uns aus. Von daher haben wir zwei Teile, einmal Heidelberg, einmal Hamburg. Noch einmal zur Technologie. Text-Mining ist eine von IBM entwickelte Technologie, die in einer besonderen Ausformung und Programmierung für uns zusammengestellt wurde. Das Projekt hieß bei uns lange Zeit DocText Miner und heißt seit einiger Zeit auf Vorschlag von IBM DocCat, das soll eine Abkürzung für Document-Categoriser sein, sie ist ja auch nett und anschaulich. Wir fangen an mit Text-Mining, das bei IBM in Heidelberg entwickelt wurde. Die verstehen darunter das automatische Indexieren als eine Instanz, also einen Teil von Text-Mining. Probleme werden dabei gezeigt, und das Text-Mining ist eben eine Methode zur Strukturierung von und der Suche in großen Dokumentenmengen, die Extraktion von Informationen und, das ist der hohe Anspruch, von impliziten Zusammenhängen. Das letztere sei dahingestellt. IBM macht das quantitativ, empirisch, approximativ und schnell. das muss man wirklich sagen. Das Ziel, und das ist ganz wichtig für unser Projekt gewesen, ist nicht, den Text zu verstehen, sondern das Ergebnis dieser Verfahren ist, was sie auf Neudeutsch a bundle of words, a bag of words nennen, also eine Menge von bedeutungstragenden Begriffen aus einem Text zu extrahieren, aufgrund von Algorithmen, also im Wesentlichen aufgrund von Rechenoperationen. Es gibt eine ganze Menge von linguistischen Vorstudien, ein wenig Linguistik ist auch dabei, aber nicht die Grundlage der ganzen Geschichte. Was sie für uns gemacht haben, ist also die Annotierung von Pressetexten für unsere Pressedatenbank. Für diejenigen, die es noch nicht kennen: Gruner + Jahr führt eine Textdokumentation, die eine Datenbank führt, seit Anfang der 70er Jahre, da sind z.Z. etwa 6,5 Millionen Dokumente darin, davon etwas über 1 Million Volltexte ab 1993. Das Prinzip war lange Zeit, dass wir die Dokumente, die in der Datenbank gespeichert waren und sind, verschlagworten und dieses Prinzip haben wir auch dann, als der Volltext eingeführt wurde, in abgespeckter Form weitergeführt. Zu diesen 6,5 Millionen Dokumenten gehören dann eben auch ungefähr 10 Millionen Faksimileseiten, weil wir die Faksimiles auch noch standardmäßig aufheben.

"Ob man als Terrorist einen Anschlag gegen die Vereinigten Staaten plant, als Kassierer Scheine aus der Kasse unterschlägt oder für bestimmte Produkte besonders gerne Geld ausgibt - einen Unterschied macht Data-Mining-Software da nicht. Solche Programme analysieren riesige Daten- mengen und fällen statistische Urteile. Mit diesen Methoden wollen nun die For- scher des "Information Awaren in den Vereinigten Staaten Spuren von Terroristen in den Datenbanken von Behörden und privaten Unternehmen wie Kreditkartenfirmen finden. 200 Millionen Dollar umfasst der Jahresetat für die verschiedenen Forschungsprojekte. Dass solche Software in der Praxis funktioniert, zeigen die steigenden Umsätze der Anbieter so genannter Customer-Relationship-Management-Software. Im vergangenen Jahr ist das Potenzial für analytische CRM-Anwendungen laut dem Marktforschungsinstitut IDC weltweit um 22 Prozent gewachsen, bis zum Jahr 2006 soll es in Deutschland mit einem jährlichen Plus von 14,1 Prozent so weitergehen. Und das trotz schwacher Konjunktur - oder gerade deswegen. Denn ähnlich wie Data-Mining der USRegierung helfen soll, Terroristen zu finden, entscheiden CRM-Programme heute, welche Kunden für eine Firma profitabel sind. Und welche es künftig sein werden, wie Manuela Schnaubelt, Sprecherin des CRM-Anbieters SAP, beschreibt: "Die Kundenbewertung ist ein zentraler Bestandteil des analytischen CRM. Sie ermöglicht es Unternehmen, sich auf die für sie wichtigen und richtigen Kunden zu fokussieren. Darüber hinaus können Firmen mit speziellen Scoring- Verfahren ermitteln, welche Kunden langfristig in welchem Maße zum Unternehmenserfolg beitragen." Die Folgen der Bewertungen sind für die Betroffenen nicht immer positiv: Attraktive Kunden profitieren von individuellen Sonderangeboten und besonderer Zuwendung. Andere hängen vielleicht so lauge in der Warteschleife des Telefonservice, bis die profitableren Kunden abgearbeitet sind. So könnte eine praktische Umsetzung dessen aussehen, was SAP-Spreche-rin Schnaubelt abstrakt beschreibt: "In vielen Unternehmen wird Kundenbewertung mit der klassischen ABC-Analyse durchgeführt, bei der Kunden anhand von Daten wie dem Umsatz kategorisiert werden. A-Kunden als besonders wichtige Kunden werden anders betreut als C-Kunden." Noch näher am geplanten Einsatz von Data-Mining zur Terroristenjagd ist eine Anwendung, die heute viele Firmen erfolgreich nutzen: Sie spüren betrügende Mitarbeiter auf. Werner Sülzer vom großen CRM-Anbieter NCR Teradata beschreibt die Möglichkeiten so: "Heute hinterlässt praktisch jeder Täter - ob Mitarbeiter, Kunde oder Lieferant - Datenspuren bei seinen wirtschaftskriminellen Handlungen. Es muss vorrangig darum gehen, einzelne Spuren zu Handlungsmustern und Täterprofilen zu verdichten. Das gelingt mittels zentraler Datenlager und hoch entwickelter Such- und Analyseinstrumente." Von konkreten Erfolgen sprich: Entlas-sungen krimineller Mitarbeiter-nach Einsatz solcher Programme erzählen Unternehmen nicht gerne. Matthias Wilke von der "Beratungsstelle für Technologiefolgen und Qualifizierung" (BTQ) der Gewerkschaft Verdi weiß von einem Fall 'aus der Schweiz. Dort setzt die Handelskette "Pick Pay" das Programm "Lord Lose Prevention" ein. Zwei Monate nach Einfüh-rung seien Unterschlagungen im Wert von etwa 200 000 Franken ermittelt worden. Das kostete mehr als 50 verdächtige Kassiererinnen und Kassierer den Job.

Rez. in: JASIST 54(2003) no.9, S.905-906 (C.A. Badurek): "Visual approaches for knowledge discovery in very large databases are a prime research need for information scientists focused an extracting meaningful information from the ever growing stores of data from a variety of domains, including business, the geosciences, and satellite and medical imagery. This work presents a summary of research efforts in the fields of data mining, knowledge discovery, and data visualization with the goal of aiding the integration of research approaches and techniques from these major fields. The editors, leading computer scientists from academia and industry, present a collection of 32 papers from contributors who are incorporating visualization and data mining techniques through academic research as well application development in industry and government agencies. Information Visualization focuses upon techniques to enhance the natural abilities of humans to visually understand data, in particular, large-scale data sets. It is primarily concerned with developing interactive graphical representations to enable users to more intuitively make sense of multidimensional data as part of the data exploration process. It includes research from computer science, psychology, human-computer interaction, statistics, and information science. Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) most often refers to the process of mining databases for previously unknown patterns and trends in data. Data mining refers to the particular computational methods or algorithms used in this process. The data mining research field is most related to computational advances in database theory, artificial intelligence and machine learning. This work compiles research summaries from these main research areas in order to provide "a reference work containing the collection of thoughts and ideas of noted researchers from the fields of data mining and data visualization" (p. 8). It addresses these areas in three main sections: the first an data visualization, the second an KDD and model visualization, and the last an using visualization in the knowledge discovery process. The seven chapters of Part One focus upon methodologies and successful techniques from the field of Data Visualization. Hoffman and Grinstein (Chapter 2) give a particularly good overview of the field of data visualization and its potential application to data mining. An introduction to the terminology of data visualization, relation to perceptual and cognitive science, and discussion of the major visualization display techniques are presented. Discussion and illustration explain the usefulness and proper context of such data visualization techniques as scatter plots, 2D and 3D isosurfaces, glyphs, parallel coordinates, and radial coordinate visualizations. Remaining chapters present the need for standardization of visualization methods, discussion of user requirements in the development of tools, and examples of using information visualization in addressing research problems.
In 13 chapters, Part Two provides an introduction to KDD, an overview of data mining techniques, and examples of the usefulness of data model visualizations. The importance of visualization throughout the KDD process is stressed in many of the chapters. In particular, the need for measures of visualization effectiveness, benchmarking for identifying best practices, and the use of standardized sample data sets is convincingly presented. Many of the important data mining approaches are discussed in this complementary context. Cluster and outlier detection, classification techniques, and rule discovery algorithms are presented as the basic techniques common to the KDD process. The potential effectiveness of using visualization in the data modeling process are illustrated in chapters focused an using visualization for helping users understand the KDD process, ask questions and form hypotheses about their data, and evaluate the accuracy and veracity of their results. The 11 chapters of Part Three provide an overview of the KDD process and successful approaches to integrating KDD, data mining, and visualization in complementary domains. Rhodes (Chapter 21) begins this section with an excellent overview of the relation between the KDD process and data mining techniques. He states that the "primary goals of data mining are to describe the existing data and to predict the behavior or characteristics of future data of the same type" (p. 281). These goals are met by data mining tasks such as classification, regression, clustering, summarization, dependency modeling, and change or deviation detection. Subsequent chapters demonstrate how visualization can aid users in the interactive process of knowledge discovery by graphically representing the results from these iterative tasks. Finally, examples of the usefulness of integrating visualization and data mining tools in the domain of business, imagery and text mining, and massive data sets are provided. This text concludes with a thorough and useful 17-page index and lengthy yet integrating 17-page summary of the academic and industrial backgrounds of the contributing authors. A 16-page set of color inserts provide a better representation of the visualizations discussed, and a URL provided suggests that readers may view all the book's figures in color on-line, although as of this submission date it only provides access to a summary of the book and its contents. The overall contribution of this work is its focus an bridging two distinct areas of research, making it a valuable addition to the Morgan Kaufmann Series in Database Management Systems. The editors of this text have met their main goal of providing the first textbook integrating knowledge discovery, data mining, and visualization. Although it contributes greatly to our under- standing of the development and current state of the field, a major weakness of this text is that there is no concluding chapter to discuss the contributions of the sum of these contributed papers or give direction to possible future areas of research. "Integration of expertise between two different disciplines is a difficult process of communication and reeducation. Integrating data mining and visualization is particularly complex because each of these fields in itself must draw an a wide range of research experience" (p. 300). Although this work contributes to the crossdisciplinary communication needed to advance visualization in KDD, a more formal call for an interdisciplinary research agenda in a concluding chapter would have provided a more satisfying conclusion to a very good introductory text.
With contributors almost exclusively from the computer science field, the intended audience of this work is heavily slanted towards a computer science perspective. However, it is highly readable and provides introductory material that would be useful to information scientists from a variety of domains. Yet, much interesting work in information visualization from other fields could have been included giving the work more of an interdisciplinary perspective to complement their goals of integrating work in this area. Unfortunately, many of the application chapters are these, shallow, and lack complementary illustrations of visualization techniques or user interfaces used. However, they do provide insight into the many applications being developed in this rapidly expanding field. The authors have successfully put together a highly useful reference text for the data mining and information visualization communities. Those interested in a good introduction and overview of complementary research areas in these fields will be satisfied with this collection of papers. The focus upon integrating data visualization with data mining complements texts in each of these fields, such as Advances in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (Fayyad et al., MIT Press) and Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to Think (Card et. al., Morgan Kauffman). This unique work is a good starting point for future interaction between researchers in the fields of data visualization and data mining and makes a good accompaniment for a course focused an integrating these areas or to the main reference texts in these fields."

Abstract

This paper describes a system to semi-automatically extend and refine ontologies by mining textual data from the Web sites of international online media. Expanding a seed ontology creates a semantic network through co-occurrence analysis, trigger phrase analysis, and disambiguation based on the WordNet lexical dictionary. Spreading activation then processes this semantic network to find the most probable candidates for inclusion in an extended ontology. Approaches to identifying hierarchical relationships such as subsumption, head noun analysis and WordNet consultation are used to confirm and classify the found relationships. Using a seed ontology on "climate change" as an example, this paper demonstrates how spreading activation improves the result by naturally integrating the mentioned methods.

Abstract

In this paper, we present a topic discovery system aimed to reveal the implicit knowledge present in news streams. This knowledge is expressed as a hierarchy of topic/subtopics, where each topic contains the set of documents that are related to it and a summary extracted from these documents. Summaries so built are useful to browse and select topics of interest from the generated hierarchies. Our proposal consists of a new incremental hierarchical clustering algorithm, which combines both partitional and agglomerative approaches, taking the main benefits from them. Finally, a new summarization method based on Testor Theory has been proposed to build the topic summaries. Experimental results in the TDT2 collection demonstrate its usefulness and effectiveness not only as a topic detection system, but also as a classification and summarization tool.

Abstract

We present an approach to enhancing information access through Web structure mining in contrast to traditional approaches involving usage mining. Specifically, we mine the hardwired hierarchical hyperlink structure of Web sites to identify patterns of term-term co-occurrences we call Web functional dependencies (FDs). Intuitively, a Web FD x -> y declares that all paths through a site involving a hyperlink labeled x also contain a hyperlink labeled y. The complete set of FDs satisfied by a site help characterize (flexible and expressive) interaction paradigms supported by a site, where a paradigm is the set of explorable sequences therein. We describe algorithms for mining FDs and results from mining several hierarchical Web sites and present several interface designs that can exploit such FDs to provide compelling user experiences.

Abstract

This research creates an intelligent agent for automated collection development in a digital library setting. It uses a predictive model based an facets of each Web page to select scholarly works. The criteria came from the academic library selection literature, and a Delphi study was used to refine the list to 41 criteria. A Perl program was designed to analyze a Web page for each criterion and applied to a large collection of scholarly and nonscholarly Web pages. Bibliomining, or data mining for libraries, was then used to create different classification models. Four techniques were used: logistic regression, nonparametric discriminant analysis, classification trees, and neural networks. Accuracy and return were used to judge the effectiveness of each model an test datasets. In addition, a set of problematic pages that were difficult to classify because of their similarity to scholarly research was gathered and classified using the models. The resulting models could be used in the selection process to automatically create a digital library of Webbased scholarly research works. In addition, the technique can be extended to create a digital library of any type of structured electronic information.

Abstract

Data mining (DM) is part of a process by which information can be extracted from data or databases and used to inform decision making in a variety of contexts (Benoit, 2002; Michalski, Bratka & Kubat, 1997). DM includes a range of tools and methods for extractiog information; their use in the commercial sector for knowledge extraction and discovery has been one of the main driving forces in their development (Adriaans & Zantinge, 1996; Benoit, 2002). DM has been developed and applied in numerous areas. This review describes its use in analyzing health and medical information.

Abstract

Topic discovery is an important means for marketing, e-Business and social science studies. As well, it can be applied to various purposes, such as identifying a group with certain properties and observing the emergence and diminishment of a certain cyber community. Previous topic discovery work (J.M. Kleinberg, Proceedings of the 9th Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, San Francisco, California, p. 668) requires manual judgment of usefulness of outcomes and is thus incapable of handling the explosive growth of the Internet. In this paper, we propose the Automatic Topic Discovery (ATD) method, which combines a method of base set construction, a clustering algorithm and an iterative principal eigenvector computation method to discover the topics relevant to a given query without using manual examination. Given a query, ATD returns with topics associated with the query and top representative pages for each topic. Our experiments show that the ATD method performs better than the traditional eigenvector method in terms of computation time and topic discovery quality.

Abstract

This article reports on the development of a novel method for the analysis of Web logs. The method uses techniques that look for similarities between queries and identify sequences of query transformation. It allows sequences of query transformations to be represented as graphical networks, thereby giving a richer view of search behavior than is possible with the usual sequential descriptions. We also perform a basic analysis to study the correlations between observed transformation codes, with results that appear to show evidence of behavior habits. The method was developed using transaction logs from the Excite search engine to provide a tool for an ongoing research project that is endeavoring to develop a greater understanding of Web-based searching by the general public.

Abstract

Data Mining describes a technology that discovers non-trivial hidden patterns in a large collection of data. Although this technology has a tremendous impact on our lives, the invaluable contributions of this invisible technology often go unnoticed. This paper discusses advances in data mining while focusing on the emerging data mining capability. Such data mining applications perform multidimensional mining on a wide variety of heterogeneous data sources, providing solutions to many unresolved problems. This paper also highlights the advantages and disadvantages arising from the ever-expanding scope of data mining. Data Mining augments human intelligence by equipping us with a wealth of knowledge and by empowering us to perform our daily tasks better. As the mining scope and capacity increases, users and organizations become more willing to compromise privacy. The huge data stores of the 'master miners' allow them to gain deep insights into individual lifestyles and their social and behavioural patterns. Data integration and analysis capability of combining business and financial trends together with the ability to deterministically track market changes will drastically affect our lives.

Abstract

Purpose - Since library storage has been increasing day by day, it is difficult for readers to find the books which interest them as well as representative booklists. How to utilize meaningful information effectively to improve the service quality of the digital library appears to be very important. The purpose of this paper is to provide a recommendation system architecture to promote digital library services in electronic libraries. Design/methodology/approach - In the proposed architecture, a two-phase data mining process used by association rule and clustering methods is designed to generate a recommendation system. The process considers not only the relationship of a cluster of users but also the associations among the information accessed. Findings - The process considered not only the relationship of a cluster of users but also the associations among the information accessed. With the advanced filter, the recommendation supported by the proposed system architecture would be closely served to meet users' needs. Originality/value - This paper not only constructs a recommendation service for readers to search books from the web but takes the initiative in finding the most suitable books for readers as well. Furthermore, library managers are expected to purchase core and hot books from a limited budget to maintain and satisfy the requirements of readers along with promoting digital library services.

Abstract

The paper presents a new unsupervised dimensionality reduction technique, called parametric t-SNE, that learns a parametric mapping between the high-dimensional data space and the low-dimensional latent space. Parametric t-SNE learns the parametric mapping in such a way that the local structure of the data is preserved as well as possible in the latent space. We evaluate the performance of parametric t-SNE in experiments on three datasets, in which we compare it to the performance of two other unsupervised parametric dimensionality reduction techniques. The results of experiments illustrate the strong performance of parametric t-SNE, in particular, in learning settings in which the dimensionality of the latent space is relatively low.

Abstract

In this article we present a semi-supervised active learning algorithm for pattern discovery in information extraction from textual data. The patterns are reduced regular expressions composed of various characteristics of features useful in information extraction. Our major contribution is a semi-supervised learning algorithm that extracts information from a set of examples labeled as relevant or irrelevant to a given attribute. The approach is semi-supervised because it does not require precise labeling of the exact location of features in the training data. This significantly reduces the effort needed to develop a training set. An active learning algorithm is used to assist the semi-supervised learning algorithm to further reduce the training set development effort. The active learning algorithm is seeded with a Single positive example of a given attribute. The context of the seed is used to automatically identify candidates for additional positive examples of the given attribute. Candidate examples are manually pruned during the active learning phase, and our semi-supervised learning algorithm automatically discovers reduced regular expressions for each attribute. We have successfully applied this learning technique in the extraction of textual features from police incident reports, university crime reports, and patents. The performance of our algorithm compares favorably with competitive extraction systems being used in criminal justice information systems.

Abstract

Discusses the importance of knowledge organization in the context of the information overload caused by the vast quantities of data and information accessible on internal and external networks of an organization. Defines the characteristics of a knowledge-based product. Elaborates on the techniques and applications of text mining in developing knowledge products. Presents two approaches, as case studies, to the making of knowledge products: (1) steps and processes in the planning, designing and development of a composite multilingual multimedia CD product, with the potential international, inter-cultural end users in view, and (2) application of natural language processing software in text mining. Using a text mining software, it is possible to link concept terms from a processed text to a related thesaurus, glossary, schedules of a classification scheme, and facet structured subject representations. Concludes that the products of text mining and data mining could be made more useful if the features of a faceted scheme for subject classification are incorporated into text mining techniques and products.

Abstract

With more and more information available on the Internet, the task of making personalized recommendations to assist the user's navigation has become increasingly important. Considering there might be millions of users with different backgrounds accessing a Web site everyday, it is infeasible to build a separate recommendation system for each user. To address this problem, clustering techniques can first be employed to discover user groups. Then, user navigation patterns for each group can be discovered, to allow the adaptation of a Web site to the interest of each individual group. In this paper, we propose to model user access sequences as stochastic processes, and a mixture of Markov models based approach is taken to cluster users and to capture the sequential relationships inherent in user access histories. Several important issues that arise in constructing the Markov models are also addressed. The first issue lies in the complexity of the mixture of Markov models. To improve the efficiency of building/maintaining the mixture of Markov models, we develop a lightweight adapt-ive algorithm to update the model parameters without recomputing model parameters from scratch. The second issue concerns the proper selection of training data for building the mixture of Markov models. We investigate two different training data selection strategies and perform extensive experiments to compare their effectiveness on a real dataset that is generated by a Web-based knowledge management system, Livelink.
