Motivation

Visualization for Data Mining

• Huge amounts of information

• Limited display capacity of output devices

Visual Data Mining (VDM) is a new approach forexploring very large data sets, combining traditionalmining methods and information visualization

techniques.

VDM Approach

VDM takes advantage of both,

The power of automatic calculations, and

The capabilities of human processing. Human perception offers phenomenal

abilities to extract structures from pictures.

7

Levels of VDM

No or very limited integration Corresponds to the application of either traditional

information visualization or automated data mining methods.

Loose integration Visualization and automated mining methods are applied

sequentially.

The result of one step can be used as input for another step.

Full integration Automated mining and visualization methods applied in

parallel.

Combination of the results.

Approach:

Each attribute value is represented by one colored pixel (the value ranges of the attributes are mapped to a fixed color map).

The values of each attribute are presented in separate sub windows.

Examples: Dense Pixel Displays

Abstract

VDM refers to refers to the use of visualization techniques in Data Mining process to

Evaluate Monitor Guide

This paper provides a framework for VDM via the loose coupling of databases and visualization systems.

The paper applies VDM towards designing new algorithms that can learn decision trees by manually refining some of the decisions made by well known algorithms such as C4.5.

22

Components of VQLBCI

The three major components of VQLBCI are Visual Representations, Computations and Events.

23

Visual Development of Algorithms

Most interesting use of visual data mining is the development of new insights and algorithms.

The figure below shows the ER diagram for learning classification decision trees.

This model allows the user to monitor the quality and impact of decisions made by the learning procedure.

Learning procedure can be refined interactively via a visual interface.

24

25

General Framework

Learning a classification decision tree from a training data set can be regarded as a process of searching for the best decision tree that meets user-provided goal constraints.

The problem space of this search process consists of Model Candidates, Model Candidate Generator and Model Constraints.

Many existing classification-learning algorithms like C4.5 and CDP fit nicely within this search framework. New learning algorithms that fit user’s requirements can be developed by defining the components of the problem space.

26

General Framework

Model Candidate corresponds to the partial classification decision tree. Each node of the decision tree is a Model Atom

Search process is the process of finding a final model candidate such that it meets user goal specifications.

Model Candidate Generator transforms the current model candidate into a new model candidate by selecting one model atom to expand from the expandable leaf model atoms.

Model Constraints (used by Model Candidate Generator) provide controls and boundaries to the search space.

27

Search Process

28

Acceptability Constraint

Model Constraints consist of Acceptability constraints, Expandability constraints and a Data-Entropy calculation function.

Acceptability constraint predicate specifies when a model candidate is acceptable and thus allows search process to stop. EX:

A1) Total no of expandable leaf model atoms = 0. A2) Overall error rate of the model candidate <=

acceptable error rate. A3) Total number of model atoms in the model

candidate>= maximal allowable tree size.

A1 is used in C4.5 and CDP

29

Expandability Constraint

An Expandability constraint predicate specifies whether a leaf model atom is expandable or not. EX: C4.5 uses E1 and E2 CDP uses E2 and E3

30

Traversal Strategy

Traversal strategy ranks expandable leaf model atoms based on the model atom attributes. EX:

Increasing order of depth Decreasing order of depth Orders based on other model atom attributes.

31

Steps in Visual Algorithm Development

No single algorithm is the best all the time, performance is highly data dependent.

By changing different predicates of model constraints, users can construct new classification-learning algorithm.

This enables users to find an algorithm that works the best on a given data set.

Two algorithms are developed : BF based on Best First search idea and CDP+ which is a modification of CDP

32

BF

This algorithm is based on the Best-First search idea.

For Acceptability criteria, it includes A1 and A2 with a user specified acceptable error rate.

The Traversal strategy chosen is T3 In Best-First, expandable leaf model atoms

are ranked according to the decreasing order of the number of misclassified training cases. (local error rate * size of subset training data set)

The traversal strategy will expand a model atom that has the most misclassified training cases, thus reducing the overall error rate the most.

33

CDP +

CDP+ is a modification of CDP

CDP has dynamic pruning using expandability constraint E3.

Here, the depth is modified according to the size of the training data set of the model atom.

We set B is the branching factor of the decision tree,

t is the size of training data set belonging to model atom, T is the whole training data set.

34

Comparison of different classification learning algorithms

35

Experiment

The new BF and CDP+ algorithms are compared with the C4.5 and CDP algorithms.

Various metrics are selected to compare the efficiency, accuracy and size of final decision trees of the classification algorithm.

The generation efficiency of the nodes is measured in terms of the total number of nodes generated.

To compare accuracy of the various algorithms, the mean classification error on the test data sets have been computed.

Results/Conclusion

CDP has accuracy comparable to C4.5 while generating considerably fewer nodes.

CDP+ has accuracy comparable to C4.5 while generating considerably fewer nodes.

CDP+ outperformed CDP in error rate and number of nodes generated.

Considering all performance metrics together, CDP+ is the best overall algorithm.

Considering classification accuracy alone, C4.5P is the winner.

40

Conclusion

Different datasets require different algorithms for best results.

Diverse user requirements put different constraints on the final decision tree.

The experiment shows that Interactive Visual Data Mining Framework can help find the most suitable algorithm for a given data set and group of user requirements.

Challenges in spatial data mining

Classical data mining - numbers and categories. Spatial data – more complex and extended objects such as points, lines and

polygons.

Second, classical data mining works with explicit inputs, whereas spatial predicates and attributes are often implicit.

Third, classical data mining treats each input independently of other inputs.

47

Application Domain

Sensor network includes about nine hundred stations each of which contains one to four loop detector

5-minute interval Occupancy is percentage of time station is

occupied with vehicles

Few points

First, the neighborhood can be selected based on a fixed cardinality or a fixed graph distance or a fixed Euclidean distance.

Second, the choice of neighborhood aggregate function can be mean, variance, or auto-correlation.

Third, the choice for comparing a location with its neighbors can be either just a number or a vector of attribute values.

Finally, the statistic for the base distribution can be selected as normal distribution.
