Key Issues in Data Mining

1. Mining Different Kinds of Knowledge

   • Users in a data mining system have different interests and needs.
   • Data mining systems must cover a range of knowledge to satisfy diverse user needs.

2. Interactive Mining of Knowledge at Multiple Levels of Abstraction

   • Example: Searching for students with specific criteria (CSE, name starting with S, female).
   • Importance of applying filters step-by-step rather than all at once to get accurate results.

3. Incorporation of Background Knowledge

   • Importance of background knowledge in data mining projects.
   • Need to gather background information before diving into data mining (e.g., research papers, videos, faculty notes).

4. Presentation and Visualization of Data Mining Results

   • Proper presentation is crucial (e.g., PowerPoint, documentation).
   • Results should be understandable and accessible to users.

5. Handling Noisy or Incomplete Data

   • Noisy data: errors in the dataset.
   • Incomplete data: missing values.
   • Importance of data cleaning to handle these issues effectively.
   • More details to come in the next video on data pre-processing.

6. Efficiency and Scalability of Data Mining Algorithms

   • Data mining involves large datasets; algorithms must be efficient and scalable.
   • Scalability: consistent performance regardless of dataset size (e.g., 100 records vs. 1000 records).

Conclusion

• Reminder: Headings may seem confusing, but understanding the concepts in your own words is key.
