紧跟某个领域内最新动态的办法:
- 跟踪国际会议
- 关注权威期刊
- 关注业内大牛的研究方向
SVM : 在机器学习领域,支持向量机SVM(Support Vector Machine)是一个有监督的学习模型,通常用来进行模式识别、分类、以及回归分析。

科学研究只有第一,没有第二。
搜文章、论文一定要用 Google、Google Scholar
weka: GUI化的数据挖掘软件,帮助建立对数据挖掘的感性认识,不必一开始就深入至算法层面。

KD nuggets: 数据挖掘相关数据、信息、工作机会。
学习基本原理
Tell me and I forget,(光是听老师讲,很快就会忘)
Teach me and I remember,(了解了原理以后,记忆的时间可能稍长一些)
Invoke me and I learn. (只有自己动手做过之后,才能掌握并且固化在脑海中)
"The value of college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of mind to think." -- Albert Einstain
Data
(从抽象的程度衡量)信息 > 数据
大数据的应用:
- 用户画像
- 流数据
- 预测犯罪发生
- 针对每个人的基因制定药量
- Urban Planning
关于大数据的两个定义:
- “Big data is high-volume, high-velocity and high-variety information assets that demand cost-effective, innovative forms of information processing for enhanced insight and decision making.” — Gartner
- “Big data refers to datasets whose size is beyond the ability of typical database software tools to capture, store, manage, and analyze.” — Mckinsey & Company
Synonym of data mining : knowledge discovery —— 数据挖掘的同义词是“知识发现”
数据挖掘的应用:
- 啤酒与尿布 (NOT REAL)
- money ball : 数据分析支持挑选适合自己球队的球员。
- Retail Data(零售数据) : Targeted Marketing
- Retail Data : Sentiment Analusis——零售业数据的情感分析,通过挖掘用户评论内容作消费者购物体验的分析
Is data mining realy important ?
“If you are looking for a career where your services will be in high demand, you should find something where you provide a scarce, complementary service to something that is getting ubiquitous and cheap. So what’s getting ubiquitous and cheap? Data. And what is complementary to data? Analysis. So my recommendation is to take lots of courses about how to manipulate and analyze data: databases, machine learning, econometrics, statistics, visualization, and so on.”——An interview with Google Chief Economist Hal Varian from the New York Times
From Data To Intelligence
ETL : 提取、转换、装载
Data Integration & Analysis
DM Techniques - Classification
Definition : “Classification is a procedure in which individual items are placed into groups based on quantitative information on one or more characteristics (referred to as variables) and based on a training set of previously labeled items.”
Process : Given a training set: {(x1, y1), …, (xn, yn)}, produce a classifier (function) that maps any unknown object xi to its class label yi.
Algorithms :
- Decision Trees(决策树)
- K-Nearest Neighbours(K最邻近分类算法)
- Neural Networks(神经网络)
- Support Vector Machines(支持向量机)
Applications :
- Churn Prediction(流失预测)
- Medical Diagnosis(医学诊断)
Type : supervised learning(监督学习)
实质 : Classification Boundaries(分界面,如下图),对空间进行划分
Confusion Matrix(混淆矩阵,如下图)
Receiver Operating Characteristic(ROC曲线,如下图)
threshold 阀值,临界值
AUC(Area Under roc Curve)
衡量分类模型好坏的一个标准
DM Techniques - clustering
Definition : “Clustering is the assignment of a set of observations into subsets (called clusters) so that observations in the same cluster are similar in some sense.”
Distance Metrics(距离度量) :
- Euclidean Distance
- Manhattan Distance
- Mahalanobis Distance
Algorithms :
- K-Means
- Sequential Leader
- Affinity Propagation
Applications :
- Market Research
- Image Segmentation
- Social Network Analysis
Type : 无监督学习

The Big Picture
数据挖掘 = 数据 + 模型 + 高性能计算平台
如果强调结果的可解释性,选择:决策树。反之,神经网络。
