Funny YouTube Video Featuring Oracle Data Mining

2010-02-18T13:08:00.000-05:00

Maybe I am too much of a data mining geek, but I found the video below to be funny. It also talks about a super cool feature ODM introduced in 11.2: the ability of scoring data mining models at the disk controller level in Exadata. This is a significant performance booster. It also makes it feasible to produce actionable insights from massive amounts of data extremely fast. More on this on a

Collective Intelligence 1: Building a RSS Feed Archive

2008-09-08T23:10:00.001-04:00

For a long time I have thought that we needed data mining books written for developers. Most data mining books are written for business or data analysts. Given that, it was a pleasant surprise to read Programming Collective Intelligence: Building Smart Web 2.0 Applications by Toby Segaran. The book provides a good discussion on data mining concepts anchored with interesting examples. It also

Data Mining in Action: Oracle Sales Prospector

2008-08-22T13:10:00.006-04:00

I firmly believe that a major trend in applications is the incorporation of analytic-enabled functionality. Users want more than just reports or a replay of the past. Users want to have insights and their attention directed to key points. This is where analytics can make a big impact across all types of applications. Notice that I am not proposing exposing analytical capabilities (e.g., data

Matrix Inversion Using PL/SQL

2008-08-18T08:18:00.008-04:00

Recently someone asked me how to invert a matrix using the UTL_NLA PL/SQL package. This can be done by solving a system of linear equations AX = B like the ones I described in this post but setting B to the identity matrix. I thought that the question was interesting enough to deserve its own post. So I am replicating the answer here for those interested. The UTL_NLA package has many different

KDD 2006 - Day 2

2006-09-07T06:56:00.000-04:00

My initial plan was to write posts from KDD as the conference unfolded. So much for that plan. There was not much time or energy left after talks, time at the Oracle booth, and talking to people. Upon returning from KDD I left for vacation and did not have a chance to write about the other KDD until now.On the second day I spent most of my time at the Oracle booth talking to visitors and saw very

KDD 2006 - Day One

Finding the Most Typical Record in a Group

2006-07-30T23:48:00.000-04:00

I recently came across the following question: How can I find the most typical record in a group or cluster of records?

The Oracle RDBMS has added, over recent releases, support for advanced analytics to the SQL vocabulary. Because analytics is now part of the vocabulary, it can be used to answer all types of questions. Below I show examples of questions that we can ask using this new vocabulary. At the end I also

Trusted Analytics - Bean Counters vs. Experts

2006-05-14T06:40:00.000-04:00

Analytics, such as data mining and statistics, produce interesting and useful results. However, can we trust this type of technology and the applications built on top of them?Here is the issue: data mining and statistics do not produce "exact" results. In fact, the results one gets when asking the same question using different techniques are usually different. To top it all, computations can be

Explaining Predictions with Easy to Read Tree Rules

2006-04-11T18:48:00.000-04:00

When scoring decision tree data mining models using SQL PREDICTION operators, one can obtain a node ID of the tree using the PREDICTION_DETAILS operator. This node ID indicates which node in the decision tree was used to predict the outcome for a specific record (row). Sometimes, we may also want to produce a textual rule for the specific node, and provide this rule on a per-row basis when

Bioinformatics the SQL Way

2006-04-04T13:25:00.000-04:00

It is not uncommon for Bioinformatics data to have a large number of numeric attributes. For example, DNA microarray data can have thousands of attributes (gene expression values) per sample. The large number of attributes poses special challenges for the storage and analysis of microarray data. I have been asked, a number of times, what could be done to facilitate working with this type of data

I have a Mac, and, as all Mac users, I want to do everything from my Mac (it does not hurt that it has a great looking and easy to use OS). When I found out that I could run Oracle Data Miner from my Mac I had to try it. Small caveat, there are no instructions on how to install Oracle Data Miner on the Mac. But there are instructions for Linux (the Mac OS is Unix-based). So, I followed those

Real-Time Scoring & Model Management 1 - Life Cycle

2006-02-21T10:23:00.000-05:00

Lately, I have come across an increasing number of discussions on the need for large-scale real-time scoring and model management. As a result, I thought it would be a good idea to write about this.

I will also try to contrast data mining with other activities such as OLAP and Statistics.Data mining has been a buzzword for sometime now. The term has been used and misused in many different contexts. Some

Analytics in the Oracle Database

2006-01-05T05:42:00.000-05:00

The addition of analytics to databases is a natural direction. As the volume of data increases, data movement dominates the cost of computation. It starts to make more sense to move the computation and algorithms to the database than to move, to an external server, the data to be analyzed. Furthermore, in most cases, the results of the analysis need to be persisted back to the database and
