The increasing volume of data in modern business and science calls for more complex and sophisticated tools. Although advances in data mining technology have made extensive data collection much easier, it's still always evolving and there is a constant need for new techniques and tools that can help us transform this data into useful information and knowledge. Since the previous edition's publication, great advances have been made in the field of data mining. Not only does the third of edition of Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques continue the tradition of equipping you with an understanding and application of the theory and practice of discovering patterns hidden in large data sets, it also focuses on new, important topics in the field: data warehouses and data cube technology, mining stream, mining social networks, and mining spatial, multimedia and other complex data. Each chapter is a stand-alone guide to a critical topic, presenting proven algorithms and sound implementations ready to be used directly or with strategic modification against live data. This is the resource you need if you want to apply today's most powerful data mining techniques to meet real business challenges. * Presents dozens of algorithms and implementation examples, all in pseudo-code and suitable for use in real-world, large-scale data mining projects. * Addresses advanced topics such as mining object-relational databases, spatial databases, multimedia databases, time-series databases, text databases, the World Wide Web, and applications in several fields. *Provides a comprehensive, practical look at the concepts and techniques you need to get the most out of real business data

Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques

We will review some of the major results in random graphs and some of the more challenging open problems. We will cover algorithmic and structural questions. We will touch on newer models, including those related to the WWW.

Random graphs

Organizing data into sensible groupings is one of the most fundamental modes of understanding and learning. As an example, a common scheme of scientific classification puts organisms into a system of ranked taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, etc. Cluster analysis is the formal study of methods and algorithms for grouping, or clustering, objects according to measured or perceived intrinsic characteristics or similarity. Cluster analysis does not use category labels that tag objects with prior identifiers, i.e., class labels. The absence of category information distinguishes data clustering (unsupervised learning) from classification or discriminant analysis (supervised learning). The aim of clustering is to find structure in data and is therefore exploratory in nature. Clustering has a long and rich history in a variety of scientific fields. One of the most popular and simple clustering algorithms, K-means, was first published in 1955. In spite of the fact that K-means was proposed over 50 years ago and thousands of clustering algorithms have been published since then, K-means is still widely used. This speaks to the difficulty in designing a general purpose clustering algorithm and the ill-posed problem of clustering. We provide a brief overview of clustering, summarize well known clustering methods, discuss the major challenges and key issues in designing clustering algorithms, and point out some of the emerging and useful research directions, including semi-supervised clustering, ensemble clustering, simultaneous feature selection during data clustering, and large scale data clustering.

Statistics for Spatial Data.

We investigate techniques for analysis and retrieval of object trajectories in two or three dimensional space. Such data usually contain a large amount of noise, that has made previously used metrics fail. Therefore, we formalize non-metric similarity functions based on the longest common subsequence (LCSS), which are very robust to noise and furthermore provide an intuitive notion of similarity between trajectories by giving more weight to similar portions of the sequences. Stretching of sequences in time is allowed, as well as global translation of the sequences in space. Efficient approximate algorithms that compute these similarity measures are also provided. We compare these new methods to the widely used Euclidean and time warping distance functions (for real and synthetic data) and show the superiority of our approach, especially in the strong presence of noise. We prove a weaker version of the triangle inequality and employ it in an indexing structure to answer nearest neighbor queries. Finally, we present experimental results that validate the accuracy and efficiency of our approach.

Discovering similar multidimensional trajectories

In the emerging area of sensor-based systems, a significant challenge is to develop scalable, fault-tolerant methods to extract useful information from the data the sensors collect. An approach to this data management problem is the use of sensor database systems, exemplified by TinyDB and Cougar, which allow users to perform aggregation queries such as MIN, COUNT and AVG on a sensor network. Due to power and range constraints, centralized approaches are generally impractical, so most systems use in-network aggregation to reduce network traffic. However, these aggregation strategies become bandwidth-intensive when combined with the fault-tolerant, multipath routing methods often used in these environments. For example, duplicate-sensitive aggregates such as SUM cannot be computed exactly using substantially less bandwidth than explicit enumeration. To avoid this expense, we investigate the use of approximate in-network aggregation using small sketches. Our contributions are as follows: 1) we generalize well known duplicate-insensitive sketches for approximating COUNT to handle SUM, 2) we present and analyze methods for using sketches to produce accurate results with low communication and computation overhead, and 3) we present an extensive experimental validation of our methods.

Approximate aggregation techniques for sensor databases

In outsourced database (ODB)systems the database owner publishes its data through a number of remote servers, with the goal of enabling clients at the edge of the network to access and query the data more efficiently. As servers might be untrusted or can be compromised, query authentication becomes an essential component of ODB systems. Existing solutions for this problem concentrate mostly on static scenarios and are based on idealistic properties for certain cryptographic primitives. In this work, first we define a variety of essential and practical cost metrics associated with ODB systems. Then, we analytically evaluate a number of different approaches, in search for a solution that best leverages all metrics. Most importantly, we look at solutions that can handle dynamic scenarios, where owners periodically update the data residing at the servers. Finally, we discuss query freshness, a new dimension in data authentication that has not been explored before. A comprehensive experimental evaluation of the proposed and existing approaches is used to validate the analytical models and verify our claims. Our findings exhibit that the proposed solutions improve performance substantially over existing approaches, both for static and dynamic environments.

Dynamic authenticated index structures for outsourced databases

We show how to index mobile objects in one and two dimensions using efficient dynamic external memory data structures. The problem is motivated by real life applications in traffic monitoring, intelligent navigation and mobile communications domains. For the l-dimensional case, we give (i) a dynamic, external memory algorithm with guaranteed worst case performance and linear space and (ii) a practical approximation algorithm also in the dynamic, external memory setting, which has linear space and expected logarithmic query time. We also give an algorithm with guaranteed logarithmic query time for a restricted version of the problem. We present extensions of our techniques to two dimensions. In addition we give a lower bound on the number of I/O’s needed to answer the d-dimensional problem. Initial experimental results and comparisons to traditional indexing approaches are also included.

In this paper we discuss a new type of query in Spatial Databases, called the Trip Planning Query (TPQ). Given a set of points of interest P in space, where each point belongs to a specific category, a starting point S and a destination E, TPQ retrieves the best trip that starts at S, passes through at least one point from each category, and ends at E. For example, a driver traveling from Boston to Providence might want to stop to a gas station, a bank and a post office on his way, and the goal is to provide him with the best possible route (in terms of distance, traffic, road conditions, etc.). The difficulty of this query lies in the existence of multiple choices per category. In this paper, we study fast approximation algorithms for TPQ in a metric space. We provide a number of approximation algorithms with approximation ratios that depend on either the number of categories, the maximum number of points per category or both. Therefore, for different instances of the problem, we can choose the algorithm with the best approximation ratio, since they all run in polynomial time. Furthermore, we use some of the proposed algorithms to derive efficient heuristics for large datasets stored in external memory. Finally, we give an experimental evaluation of the proposed algorithms using both synthetic and real datasets.
