DATA MINING TECHNIQUES (OVER VIEW)
Data mining involves extracting valuable patterns, insights, and knowledge from large datasets.
Here are the key techniques used in data mining:
1. Classification
Used to categorize data into predefined classes.
📌 Example: Spam email detection (Spam or Not Spam).
🛠 Algorithms:
Decision Trees
Naïve Bayes
Support Vector Machines (SVM)
Random Forest
2. Clustering
Groups similar data points together without predefined labels.
📌 Example: Customer segmentation in marketing.
🛠 Algorithms:
K-Means Clustering
DBSCAN
Hierarchical Clustering
3. Association Rule Mining (Market Basket Analysis)
Finds relationships between items in a dataset.
📌 Example: Amazon recommending "Customers who bought X also bought Y".
🛠 Algorithms:
Apriori Algorithm
FP-Growth Algorithm
4. Anomaly Detection (Outlier Detection)
Identifies rare items or patterns that don’t conform to expected behavior.
📌 Example: Fraud detection in banking transactions.
🛠 Algorithms:
Isolation Forest
One-Class SVM
DBSCAN
5. Regression Analysis
Predicts continuous values based on input data.
📌 Example: Predicting house prices based on square footage.
🛠 Algorithms:
Linear Regression
Polynomial Regression
Decision Tree Regression
6. Dimensionality Reduction
Reduces the number of features while retaining key information.
📌 Example: Compressing high-dimensional image data for facial recognition.
🛠 Techniques:
Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE)
7. Text Mining (Natural Language Processing - NLP)
Extracts meaningful patterns from text data.
📌 Example: Sentiment analysis of customer reviews.
🛠 Techniques:
Tokenization
Named Entity Recognition (NER)
Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for topic modeling
8. Time Series Analysis
Analyzes sequential data over time to find trends and patterns.
📌 Example: Stock price prediction.
🛠 Techniques:
Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA)
Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks
9. Neural Networks & Deep Learning
Mimics human brain structure to detect complex patterns.
📌 Example: Image recognition, speech-to-text conversion.
🛠 Architectures:
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)
10. Ensemble Learning
Combines multiple models to improve performance.
📌 Example: Boosting algorithms in Kaggle competitions.
🛠 Techniques:
Bagging (e.g., Random Forest)
Boosting (e.g., XGBoost, AdaBoost)
