Fundamentals of Data Mining

Data Science 101

Data mining is the process of discovering these patterns among the data and is therefore also known as Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD). This data alone does not make any sense unless it’s identified to be related in some pattern.

On the Hunt for Patterns: from Hippocrates to Supercomputers

Ontotext

Ever since Hippocrates founded his school of medicine in ancient Greece some 2,500 years ago, writes Hannah Fry in her book Hello World: Being Human in the Age of Algorithms , what has been fundamental to healthcare (as she calls it “the fight to keep us healthy”) was observation, experimentation and the analysis of data. Certainly not!

SIM Cards And Knowledge Graphs – Unseen But Valuable Technologies

Ontotext

They make this possible by adding domain knowledge that puts your organization’s data in context and enables its interpretation. Adding context and semantic consistency to the data, improves knowledge discovery, business analytics, and decision-making.

The Semantic Web: 20 Years And a Handful of Enterprise Knowledge Graphs Later

Ontotext

We rather see it as a new paradigm that is revolutionizing enterprise data integration and knowledge discovery. There are more than 80 million pages with semantic, machine interpretable metadata , according to the Schema.org standard. We can’t imagine looking at the Semantic Web as an artifact.

Using Empirical Bayes to approximate posteriors for large "black box" estimators

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

For an introduction to Empirical Bayes, see the paper [3] by Brad Efron (with more in his book [4]). Brendan McMahan et al, "Ad Click Prediction: a View from the Trenches" , Proceedings of the 19th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD), 2013. [3] How exactly should we model $G$?
