Abstract

The volume presents recent developments in the introduction of fuzzy, probabilistic and rough elements into basic components of fuzzy databases, and their use (notably querying and information retrieval), from the point of view of data mining and knowledge discovery. The main novel aspect of the volume is that issues related to the use of fuzzy elements in databases, database querying, information retrieval, etc. are presented and discussed from the point of view, and for the purpose of data mining and knowledge discovery that are 'hot topics' in recent years

Abstract

Current algorithms for finding associations among the attributes describing data in a database have a number of shortcomings. Presents a novel method for association generation, that answers all desiderata. The method is different from all existing algorithms and especially suitable to textual databases with binary attributes. Uses subword trees for quick indexing into the required database statistics. Tests the algorithm on the Reuters-22173 database with satisfactory results

Abstract

Focuses on the information modelling side of conceptual modelling. Deals with the exploitation of fact verbalisations after finishing the actual information system. Verbalisations are used as input for the design of the so-called information model. Exploits these verbalisation in 4 directions: considers their use for a conceptual query language, the verbalisation of instances, the description of the contents of a database and for the verbalisation of queries in a computer supported query environment. Provides an example session with an envisioned tool for end user query formulations that exploits the verbalisation

Abstract

The present challenge faced by scientists working with Big Data comes in the overwhelming volume and level of detail provided by current data sets. Exceeding traditional empirical approaches, Big Data opens a new perspective on scientific work in which data comes to play a role in the development of the scientific problematic to be developed. Addressing this reconfiguration of our relationship with data through readings of Wittgenstein, Macherey, and Popper, we propose a picture of science that encourages scientists to engage with the data in a direct way, using the data itself as an instrument for scientific investigation. Using GIS as a theme, we develop the concept of cyber-human systems of thought and understanding to bridge the divide between representative (theoretical) thinking and (non-theoretical) data-driven science. At the foundation of these systems, we invoke the concept of the "semantic pixel" to establish a logical and virtual space linking data and the work of scientists. It is with this discussion of the relationship between analysts in their pursuit of knowledge and the rise of Big Data that this present discussion of the philosophical foundations of Big Data addresses the central questions raised by social informatics research.

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."

"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.

Abstract

With more than two billion pages created by millions of Web page authors and organizations, the World Wide Web is a tremendously rich knowledge base. The knowledge comes not only from the content of the pages themselves, but also from the unique characteristics of the Web, such as its hyperlink structure and its diversity of content and languages. Analysis of these characteristics often reveals interesting patterns and new knowledge. Such knowledge can be used to improve users' efficiency and effectiveness in searching for information an the Web, and also for applications unrelated to the Web, such as support for decision making or business management. The Web's size and its unstructured and dynamic content, as well as its multilingual nature, make the extraction of useful knowledge a challenging research problem. Furthermore, the Web generates a large amount of data in other formats that contain valuable information. For example, Web server logs' information about user access patterns can be used for information personalization or improving Web page design.

Abstract

To prevent type-one error, statisticians tend to accept the possibility of type-two error, which leads to the rejection of hypotheses later shown to be true. In both Exploratory Data Analysis and data mining the emphasis is more appropriately on the elimination of type-two error. Thus EDA methods, including its visualization tools may be appropriate for Data Mining. Seriation, creates a matrix of observations and variables, where the cells contain an icon whose size represents its value, and permits the movement of rows and columns in order to visually discern patterns. Augmented Seriation, a method of data mining, adds computer graphics, sound, color, and extra dimensions to the matrix so that the analyst has different modalities for pattern observation. Gluck has developed software for such analysis.

Abstract

The effective use of corporate memory is becoming increasingly important because every aspect of e-business requires access to information repositories. Unfortunately, less-than-satisfying effectiveness in state-of-the-art information-retrieval techniques is well known, even for some of the best search engines such as Google. In this study, the authors resolve this retrieval ineffectiveness problem by developing a new framework for predicting query performance, which is the first step toward better retrieval effectiveness. Specifically, they examine the relationship between query performance and query context. A query context consists of the query itself, the document collection, and the interaction between the two. The authors first analyze the characteristics of query context and develop various features for predicting query performance. Then, they propose a context-sensitive model for predicting query performance based on the characteristics of the query and the document collection. Finally, they validate this model with respect to five real-world collections of documents and demonstrate its utility in routing queries to the correct repository with high accuracy.

Abstract

Understanding what kinds of Web pages are the most useful for Web search engine users is a critical task in Web information retrieval (IR). Most previous works used hyperlink analysis algorithms to solve this problem. However, little research has been focused on query-independent Web data cleansing for Web IR. In this paper, we first provide analysis of the differences between retrieval target pages and ordinary ones based on more than 30 million Web pages obtained from both the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) and a widely used Chinese search engine, SOGOU (www.sogou.com). We further propose a learning-based data cleansing algorithm for reducing Web pages that are unlikely to be useful for user requests. We found that there exists a large proportion of low-quality Web pages in both the English and the Chinese Web page corpus, and retrieval target pages can be identified using query-independent features and cleansing algorithms. The experimental results showed that our algorithm is effective in reducing a large portion of Web pages with a small loss in retrieval target pages. It makes it possible for Web IR tools to meet a large fraction of users' needs with only a small part of pages on the Web. These results may help Web search engines make better use of their limited storage and computation resources to improve search performance.
