The purpose of data mining analysis is always to find patterns of the data using certain kind of techiques such as classification or regression. It is not always feasible to apply classification algorithms directly to dataset. Before doing any work on the data, the data has to be pre-processed and this process normally involves feature selection and dimensionality reduction. We tried to use clustering as a way to reduce the dimension of the data and create new features. Based on our project, after using clustering prior to classification, the performance has not improved much. The reason why it has not improved could be the features we selected to perform clustering are not well suited for it. Because of the nature of the data, classification tasks are going to provide more information to work with in terms of improving knowledge and overall performance metrics. From the dimensionality reduction perspective: It is different from Principle Component Analysis which guarantees finding the best linear transformation that reduces the number of dimensions with a minimum loss of information. Using clusters as a technique of reducing the data dimension will lose a lot of information since clustering techniques are based a metric of 'distance'. At high dimensions euclidean distance loses pretty much all meaning. Therefore using clustering as a "Reducing" dimensionality by mapping data points to cluster numbers is not always good since you may lose almost all the information. From the creating new features perspective: Clustering analysis creates labels based on the patterns of the data, it brings uncertainties into the data. By using clustering prior to classification, the decision on the number of clusters will highly affect the performance of the clustering, then affect the performance of classification. If the part of features we use clustering techniques on is very suited for it, it might increase the overall performance on classification. For example, if the features we use k-means on are numerical and the dimension is small, the overall classification performance may be better. We did not lock in the clustering outputs using a random_state in the effort to see if they were stable. Our assumption was that if the results vary highly from run to run which they definitely did, maybe the data just does not cluster well with the methods selected at all. Basically, the ramification we saw was that our results are not much better than random when applying clustering to the data preprocessing. Finally, it is important to ensure a feedback loop is in place to continuously collect the same data in the same format from which the models were created. This feedback loop can be used to measure the model real world effectiveness and also to continue to revise the models from time to time as things change.

NASA has some of the largest and most complex data sources in the world, with data sources ranging from the earth sciences, space sciences, and massive distributed engineering data sets from commercial aircraft and spacecraft. This talk will discuss some of the issues and algorithms developed to analyze and discover patterns in these data sets. We will also provide an overview of a large research program in Integrated Vehicle Health Management. The goal of this program is to develop advanced technologies to automatically detect, diagnose, predict, and mitigate adverse events during the flight of an aircraft. A case study will be presented on a recent data mining analysis performed to support the Flight Readiness Review of the Space Shuttle Mission STS-119.

The LSC (Leicester Scientific Corpus)August 2019 by Neslihan Suzen, PhD student at the University of Leicester (ns433@leicester.ac.uk) Supervised by Prof Alexander Gorban and Dr Evgeny MirkesThe data is extracted from the Web of Science® [1] You may not copy or distribute this data in whole or in part without the written consent of Clarivate Analytics.Getting StartedThis text provides background information on the LSC (Leicester Scientific Corpus) and pre-processing steps on abstracts, and describes the structure of files to organise the corpus. This corpus is created to be used in future work on the quantification of the sense of research texts. One of the goal of publishing the data is to make it available for further analysis and use in Natural Language Processing projects.LSC is a collection of abstracts of articles and proceeding papers published in 2014, and indexed by the Web of Science (WoS) database [1]. Each document contains title, list of authors, list of categories, list of research areas, and times cited. The corpus contains only documents in English.The corpus was collected in July 2018 online and contains the number of citations from publication date to July 2018.Each document in the corpus contains the following parts:1. Authors: The list of authors of the paper2. Title: The title of the paper3. Abstract: The abstract of the paper4. Categories: One or more category from the list of categories [2]. Full list of categories is presented in file ‘List_of _Categories.txt’.5. Research Areas: One or more research area from the list of research areas [3]. Full list of research areas is presented in file ‘List_of_Research_Areas.txt’.6. Total Times cited: The number of times the paper was cited by other items from all databases within Web of Science platform [4]7. Times cited in Core Collection: The total number of times the paper was cited by other papers within the WoS Core Collection [4]We describe a document as the collection of information (about a paper) listed above. The total number of documents in LSC is 1,673,824.All documents in LSC have nonempty abstract, title, categories, research areas and times cited in WoS databases. There are 119 documents with empty authors list, we did not exclude these documents.Data ProcessingThis section describes all steps in order for the LSC to be collected, clean and available to researchers. Processing the data consists of six main steps:Step 1: Downloading of the Data OnlineThis is the step of collecting the dataset online. This is done manually by exporting documents as Tab-delimitated files. All downloaded documents are available online.Step 2: Importing the Dataset to RThis is the process of converting the collection to RData format for processing the data. The LSC was collected as TXT files. All documents are extracted to R.Step 3: Cleaning the Data from Documents with Empty Abstract or without CategoryNot all papers have abstract and categories in the collection. As our research is based on the analysis of abstracts and categories, preliminary detecting and removing inaccurate documents were performed. All documents with empty abstracts and documents without categories are removed.Step 4: Identification and Correction of Concatenate Words in AbstractsTraditionally, abstracts are written in a format of executive summary with one paragraph of continuous writing, which is known as ‘unstructured abstract’. However, especially medicine-related publications use ‘structured abstracts’. Such type of abstracts are divided into sections with distinct headings such as introduction, aim, objective, method, result, conclusion etc.Used tool for extracting abstracts leads concatenate words of section headings with the first word of the section. As a result, some of structured abstracts in the LSC require additional process of correction to split such concatenate words. For instance, we observe words such as ConclusionHigher and ConclusionsRT etc. in the corpus. The detection and identification of concatenate words cannot be totally automated. Human intervention is needed in the identification of possible headings of sections. We note that we only consider concatenate words in headings of sections as it is not possible to detect all concatenate words without deep knowledge of research areas. Identification of such words is done by sampling of medicine-related publications. The section headings in such abstracts are listed in the List 1.List 1 Headings of sections identified in structured abstractsBackground Method(s) DesignTheoretical Measurement(s) LocationAim(s) Methodology ProcessAbstract Population ApproachObjective(s) Purpose(s) Subject(s)Introduction Implication(s) Patient(s)Procedure(s) Hypothesis Measure(s)Setting(s) Limitation(s) DiscussionConclusion(s) Result(s) Finding(s)Material (s) Rationale(s)Implications for health and nursing policyAll words including headings in the List 1 are detected in entire corpus, and then words are split into two words. For instance, the word ‘ConclusionHigher’ is split into ‘Conclusion’ and ‘Higher’.Step 5: Extracting (Sub-setting) the Data Based on Lengths of AbstractsAfter correction of concatenate words is completed, the lengths of abstracts are calculated. ‘Length’ indicates the totalnumber of words in the text, calculated by the same rule as for Microsoft Word ‘word count’ [5].According to APA style manual [6], an abstract should contain between 150 to 250 words. However, word limits vary from journal to journal. For instance, Journal of Vascular Surgery recommends that ‘Clinical and basic research studies must include a structured abstract of 400 words or less’[7].In LSC, the length of abstracts varies from 1 to 3805. We decided to limit length of abstracts from 30 to 500 words in order to study documents with abstracts of typical length ranges and to avoid the effect of the length to the analysis. Documents containing less than 30 and more than 500 words in abstracts are removed.Step 6: Saving the Dataset into CSV FormatCorrected and extracted documents are saved into 36 CSV files. The structure of files are described in the following section.The Structure of Fields in CSV FilesIn CSV files, the information is organised with one record on each line and parts of abstract, title, list of authors, list of categories, list of research areas, and times cited is recorded in separated fields.To access the LSC for research purposes, please email to ns433@le.ac.uk.References[1]Web of Science.

This file contains a number of randomly generated datasets. The properties of each dataset are indicated in the name of each respective file: 'C' indicates the number of classes, 'F' indicates the number of features, 'Ne' indicates the number of objects contained in each class, 'A' is related to the average separation between classes and 'R' is an index used to differentiate distinct random trials. So, for instance, the file C2F10N2Ne5A1.2R0 is a dataset containing 2 classes, 10 features, 5 objects for each class and having a typical separation between classes of 1.2. The methodology used for generating the datasets is described in the accompanying reference.

A primary goal to design smart homes is to provide automatic assistance for the residents to make them able to live independently at home. Activity recognition is done to achieve the mentioned goal and then to provide assistance, we would need three sort of information. First, we would need to know the goal of the resident, then the pattern that the resident should obey to achieve its goal and third sort of needed information is the deviations from the previously known patterns. In the presented paper, spatiotemporal aspects of daily activities are surveyed to mine the patterns of activities realized by the smart homes residents. Necessary data to model the spatiotemporal aspects of daily activities is provided by embedded sensors in the smart home. We believe that to accomplish daily activities, specific objects are applied and by analyzing the movement of objects and resident(s), we would obtain valuable information to model the daily activities of the Smart Home’s residents.

Companies in this industry develop software for data mining. Data mining is the process of extracting patterns from large data sets.

Context

Sequential pattern mining is the discovery of subsequences that are frequent in a set of sequences. The process is similar to the frequent itemset mining1 except that the input database is ordered. As the output of a sequential pattern mining algorithm, it generates a set of frequent sequential patterns, which are sub-sequences that have a frequency in the database greater than or equal to the user-specified minimum support. Let the data set shown in Table 1 where events are accompanied by instants of occurrence in each tuple. https://pasteboard.co/JRNB4rH.png" alt="Image of table">

We can note that, for a fixed threshold equal to 1, the pattern < A, B, C > is considered as frequent because its support (the number of occurrences in the database) is equal to 2.

Content

Problematic and Goal:

Let us assume the example given in Table 1. < A, B, C > is considered a frequent sequential pattern. It shows that events A, B, and C occurred frequently in a sequence manner, but without providing any additional information about the gap between them. For instance, we do not know when B would happen, knowing that A already did. Therefore, we ask you to provide a richer pattern where time constraints are considered. In our data set example, we can deduce that A, B, and C occur sequentially, and that B occurs after A at least after one instant and at most after 5 instants, while C occurs after B in the interval [2, 4] of instants. We represent our pattern as A[1,5]B and B[2,4]C. It is a direct graph where nodes are events and vertices are the instant intervals, denoted by time constraints as shown in Figure 1. https://pasteboard.co/JRNBWWL.png" alt="Image">

This research used data mining approaches to better understand factors affecting the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Although numerous laboratory and computational studies have been completed on SOA formation, it is still challenging to determine factors that most influence SOA formation. Experimental data were based on previous work described by Offenberg et al. (2017), where volume concentrations of SOA were measured in 139 laboratory experiments involving the oxidation of single hydrocarbons under different operating conditions. Three different data mining methods were used, including nearest neighbor, decision tree, and pattern mining. Both decision tree and pattern mining approaches identified similar chemical and experimental conditions that were important to SOA formation. Among these important factors included the number of methyl groups, the number of rings and the presence of dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5). This dataset is associated with the following publication: Olson, D., J. Offenberg, M. Lewandowski, T. Kleindienst, K. Docherty, M. Jaoui, J.D. Krug, and T. Riedel.

LScDC Word-Category RIG MatrixApril 2020 by Neslihan Suzen, PhD student at the University of Leicester (ns433@leicester.ac.uk / suzenneslihan@hotmail.com)Supervised by Prof Alexander Gorban and Dr Evgeny MirkesGetting StartedThis file describes the Word-Category RIG Matrix for theLeicester Scientific Corpus (LSC) [1], the procedure to build the matrix and introduces the Leicester Scientific Thesaurus (LScT) with the construction process. The Word-Category RIG Matrix is a 103,998 by 252 matrix, where rows correspond to words of Leicester Scientific Dictionary-Core (LScDC) [2] and columns correspond to 252 Web of Science (WoS) categories [3, 4, 5]. Each entry in the matrix corresponds to a pair (category,word). Its value for the pair shows the Relative Information Gain (RIG) on the belonging of a text from the LSC to the category from observing the word in this text. The CSV file of Word-Category RIG Matrix in the published archive is presented with two additional columns of the sum of RIGs in categories and the maximum of RIGs over categories (last two columns of the matrix). So, the file ‘Word-Category RIG Matrix.csv’ contains a total of 254 columns.This matrix is created to be used in future research on quantifying of meaning in scientific texts under the assumption that words have scientifically specific meanings in subject categories and the meaning can be estimated by information gains from word to categories. LScT (Leicester Scientific Thesaurus) is a scientific thesaurus of English. The thesaurus includes a list of 5,000 words from the LScDC. We consider ordering the words of LScDC by the sum of their RIGs in categories. That is, words are arranged in their informativeness in the scientific corpus LSC. Therefore, meaningfulness of words evaluated by words’ average informativeness in the categories. We have decided to include the most informative 5,000 words in the scientific thesaurus. Words as a Vector of Frequencies in WoS CategoriesEach word of the LScDC is represented as a vector of frequencies in WoS categories. Given the collection of the LSC texts, each entry of the vector consists of the number of texts containing the word in the corresponding category.It is noteworthy that texts in a corpus do not necessarily belong to a single category, as they are likely to correspond to multidisciplinary studies, specifically in a corpus of scientific texts. In other words, categories may not be exclusive. There are 252 WoS categories and a text can be assigned to at least 1 and at most 6 categories in the LSC. Using the binary calculation of frequencies, we introduce the presence of a word in a category. We create a vector of frequencies for each word, where dimensions are categories in the corpus.The collection of vectors, with all words and categories in the entire corpus, can be shown in a table, where each entry corresponds to a pair (word,category). This table is build for the LScDC with 252 WoS categories and presented in published archive with this file. The value of each entry in the table shows how many times a word of LScDC appears in a WoS category. The occurrence of a word in a category is determined by counting the number of the LSC texts containing the word in a category. Words as a Vector of Relative Information Gains Extracted for CategoriesIn this section, we introduce our approach to representation of a word as a vector of relative information gains for categories under the assumption that meaning of a word can be quantified by their information gained for categories.For each category, a function is defined on texts that takes the value 1, if the text belongs to the category, and 0 otherwise. For each word, a function is defined on texts that takes the value 1 if the word belongs to the text, and 0 otherwise. Consider LSC as a probabilistic sample space (the space of equally probable elementary outcomes). For the Boolean random variables, the joint probability distribution, the entropy and information gains are defined.The information gain about the category from the word is the amount of information on the belonging of a text from the LSC to the category from observing the word in the text [6]. We used the Relative Information Gain (RIG) providing a normalised measure of the Information Gain. This provides the ability of comparing information gains for different categories. The calculations of entropy, Information Gains and Relative Information Gains can be found in the README file in the archive published. Given a word, we created a vector where each component of the vector corresponds to a category. Therefore, each word is represented as a vector of relative information gains. It is obvious that the dimension of vector for each word is the number of categories. The set of vectors is used to form the Word-Category RIG Matrix, in which each column corresponds to a category, each row corresponds to a word and each component is the relative information gain from the word to the category. In Word-Category RIG Matrix, a row vector represents the corresponding word as a vector of RIGs in categories. We note that in the matrix, a column vector represents RIGs of all words in an individual category. If we choose an arbitrary category, words can be ordered by their RIGs from the most informative to the least informative for the category. As well as ordering words in each category, words can be ordered by two criteria: sum and maximum of RIGs in categories. The top n words in this list can be considered as the most informative words in the scientific texts. For a given word, the sum and maximum of RIGs are calculated from the Word-Category RIG Matrix.RIGs for each word of LScDC in 252 categories are calculated and vectors of words are formed. We then form the Word-Category RIG Matrix for the LSC. For each word, the sum (S) and maximum (M) of RIGs in categories are calculated and added at the end of the matrix (last two columns of the matrix). The Word-Category RIG Matrix for the LScDC with 252 categories, the sum of RIGs in categories and the maximum of RIGs over categories can be found in the database.Leicester Scientific Thesaurus (LScT)Leicester Scientific Thesaurus (LScT) is a list of 5,000 words form the LScDC [2]. Words of LScDC are sorted in descending order by the sum (S) of RIGs in categories and the top 5,000 words are selected to be included in the LScT. We consider these 5,000 words as the most meaningful words in the scientific corpus. In other words, meaningfulness of words evaluated by words’ average informativeness in the categories and the list of these words are considered as a ‘thesaurus’ for science. The LScT with value of sum can be found as CSV file with the published archive. Published archive contains following files:1) Word_Category_RIG_Matrix.csv: A 103,998 by 254 matrix where columns are 252 WoS categories, the sum (S) and the maximum (M) of RIGs in categories (last two columns of the matrix), and rows are words of LScDC. Each entry in the first 252 columns is RIG from the word to the category. Words are ordered as in the LScDC.2) Word_Category_Frequency_Matrix.csv: A 103,998 by 252 matrix where columns are 252 WoS categories and rows are words of LScDC.

Market Basket Analysis

Market basket analysis with Apriori algorithm

The retailer wants to target customers with suggestions on itemset that a customer is most likely to purchase .I was given dataset contains data of a retailer; the transaction data provides data around all the transactions that have happened over a period of time. Retailer will use result to grove in his industry and provide for customer suggestions on itemset, we be able increase customer engagement and improve customer experience and identify customer behavior. I will solve this problem with use Association Rules type of unsupervised learning technique that checks for the dependency of one data item on another data item.

Introduction

Association Rule is most used when you are planning to build association in different objects in a set. It works when you are planning to find frequent patterns in a transaction database. It can tell you what items do customers frequently buy together and it allows retailer to identify relationships between the items.

An Example of Association Rules

Assume there are 100 customers, 10 of them bought Computer Mouth, 9 bought Mat for Mouse and 8 bought both of them. - bought Computer Mouth => bought Mat for Mouse - support = P(Mouth & Mat) = 8/100 = 0.08 - confidence = support/P(Mat for Mouse) = 0.08/0.09 = 0.89 - lift = confidence/P(Computer Mouth) = 0.89/0.10 = 8.9 This just simple example. In practice, a rule needs the support of several hundred transactions, before it can be considered statistically significant, and datasets often contain thousands or millions of transactions.

Strategy

• Data Import
• Data Understanding and Exploration
• Transformation of the data – so that is ready to be consumed by the association rules algorithm
• Running association rules
• Exploring the rules generated
• Filtering the generated rules
• Visualization of Rule

DATA MINING THE GALAXY ZOO MERGERS STEVEN BAEHR, ARUN VEDACHALAM, KIRK BORNE, AND DANIEL SPONSELLER Abstract. Collisions between pairs of galaxies usually end in the coalescence (merger) of the two galaxies. Collisions and mergers are rare phenomena, yet they may signal the ultimate fate of most galaxies, including our own Milky Way. With the onset of massive collection of astronomical data, a computerized and automated method will be necessary for identifying those colliding galaxies worthy of more detailed study. This project researches methods to accomplish that goal. Astronomical data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and human-provided classifications on merger status from the Galaxy Zoo project are combined and processed with machine learning algorithms. The goal is to determine indicators of merger status based solely on discovering those automated pipeline-generated attributes in the astronomical database that correlate most strongly with the patterns identified through visual inspection by the Galaxy Zoo volunteers. In the end, we aim to provide a new and improved automated procedure for classification of collisions and mergers in future petascale astronomical sky surveys. Both information gain analysis (via the C4.5 decision tree algorithm) and cluster analysis (via the Davies-Bouldin Index) are explored as techniques for finding the strongest correlations between human-identified patterns and existing database attributes. Galaxy attributes measured in the SDSS green waveband images are found to represent the most influential of the attributes for correct classification of collisions and mergers. Only a nominal information gain is noted in this research, however, there is a clear indication of which attributes contribute so that a direction for further study is apparent.

Within the confines of this document, we embark on a comprehensive journey delving into the intricacies of a dataset meticulously curated for the purpose of association rules mining. This sophisticated data mining technique is a linchpin in the realms of market basket analysis. The dataset in question boasts an array of items commonly found in retail transactions, each meticulously encoded as a binary variable, with "1" denoting presence and "0" indicating absence in individual transactions.

Our dataset unfolds as an opulent tapestry of distinct columns, each dedicated to the representation of a specific item:

• Bread
• Honey
• Bacon
• Toothpaste
• Banana
• Apple
• Hazelnut
• Cheese
• Meat
• Carrot
• Cucumber
• Onion
• Milk
• Butter
• ShavingFoam
• Salt
• Flour
• HeavyCream
• Egg
• Olive
• Shampoo
• Sugar

The raison d'être of this dataset is to serve as a catalyst for the discovery of intricate associations and patterns concealed within the labyrinthine network of customer transactions. Each row in this dataset mirrors a solitary transaction, while the values within each column serve as sentinels, indicating whether a particular item was welcomed into a transaction's embrace or relegated to the periphery.

The data within this repository is rendered in a binary symphony, where the enigmatic "1" enunciates the acquisition of an item, and the stoic "0" signifies its conspicuous absence. This binary manifestation serves to distill the essence of the dataset, centering the focus on item presence, rather than the quantum thereof.

This dataset unfurls its wings to encompass an assortment of prospective applications, including but not limited to:

• Market Basket Analysis: Discerning items that waltz together in shopping carts, thus bestowing enlightenment upon the orchestration of product placement and marketing strategies.
• Recommender Systems: Crafting bespoke product recommendations, meticulously tailored to each customer's historical transactional symphony.
• Inventory Management: Masterfully fine-tuning stock levels for items that find kinship in frequent co-acquisition, thereby orchestrating a harmonious reduction in carrying costs and stockouts.
• Customer Behavior Analysis: Peering into the depths of customer proclivities and purchase patterns, paving the way for the sculpting of exquisite marketing campaigns.

The treasure trove of this dataset beckons the deployment of quintessential techniques, among them the venerable Apriori and FP-Growth algorithms. These stalwart algorithms are proficient at ferreting out the elusive frequent itemsets and invaluable association rules, shedding light on the arcane symphony of customer behavior and item co-occurrence patterns.

In closing, the association rules dataset unfurled before you offers an alluring odyssey, replete with the promise of discovering priceless patterns and affiliations concealed within the tapestry of transactional data. Through the artistry of data mining algorithms, businesses and analysts stand poised to unearth hitherto latent insights capable of steering the helm of strategic decisions, elevating the pantheon of customer experiences, and orchestrating the symphony of operational optimization.
