AbstractNowadays, large amounts of data are generated in the medical domain. Various physiological signals generated from different organs can be recorded to extract interesting information about patients’ health. The analysis of physiological signals is a hard task that requires the use of specific approaches such as the Knowledge Discovery in Databases process. The application of such process in the domain of medicine has a series of implications and difficulties, especially regarding the application of data mining techniques to data, mainly time series, gathered from medical examinations of patients. The goal of this paper is to describe the lessons learned and the experience gathered by the authors applying data mining techniques to real medical patient data including time series. In this research, we carried out an exhaustive case study working on data from two medical fields: stabilometry (15 professional basketball players, 18 elite ice skaters) and electroencephalography (100 healthy patients, 100 epileptic patients). We applied a previously proposed knowledge discovery framework for classification purpose obtaining good results in terms of classification accuracy (greater than 99% in both fields). The good results obtained in our research are the groundwork for the lessons learned and recommendations made in this position paper that intends to be a guide for experts who have to face similar medical data mining projects.

Resumo A qualidade na educação tem sido objeto de muita discussão, seja nas escolas e entre seus gestores, seja na mídia ou na literatura. No entanto, uma análise mais profunda na literatura parece não indicar técnicas que explorem bancos de dados com a finalidade de obter classificações para o desempenho escolar, nem tampouco há um consenso sobre o que seja “qualidade educacional”. Diante deste contexto, neste artigo, é proposta uma metodologia que se enquadra no processo KDD (Knowledge Discovery in Databases, ou seja, Descoberta de Conhecimento em Bases de Dados) para a classificação do desempenho de instituições de ensino, de forma comparativa, com base nas notas obtidas na Prova Brasil, um dos itens integrantes do Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (IDEB) no Brasil. Para ilustrar a metodologia, esta foi aplicada às escolas públicas municipais de Araucária, PR, região metropolitana de Curitiba, PR, num total de 17, que, por ocasião da pesquisa, ofertavam Ensino Fundamental, considerando as notas obtidas pela totalidade dos alunos dos anos iniciais (1º. ao 5º. ano do ensino fundamental) e dos anos finais (6º. ao 9º. ano do ensino fundamental). Na etapa de Data Mining, principal etapa do processo KDD, foram utilizadas três técnicas de forma comparativa para o Reconhecimento de Padrões: Redes Neurais Artificiais; Support Vector Machines; e Algoritmos Genéticos. Essas técnicas apresentaram resultados satisfatórios na classificação das escolas, representados por meio de uma “Etiqueta de Classificação do Desempenho”. Por meio desta etiqueta, os gestores educacionais poderão ter melhor base para definir as medidas a serem adotadas junto a cada escola, podendo definir mais claramente as metas a serem cumpridas.

Summary Liquid hydrocarbon quantity optimization is among key technological indicators in the gas condensate fields development. To achieve it one needs to select and maintain optimal well-operating conditions. In this case, multiphase flow measurements are prioritized as an important optimization tool. The article presents a proven record of implementing the technology of instrumentalised virtual multiphase flow metering in the wells of the Vostochno-Makarovskoye gas condensate field to increase the efficiency of liquid hydrocarbon production. Virtual flow metering technologies that use modeling methods and adapt models to actual well-operating parameters aiming at determining well production rates are becoming increasingly popular. At that, the quality of the data at the model input does not often guarantee a qualitative determination of multiphase flow parameters. This article presents a track record of building a virtual multiphase flow meter based on single-phase streamer flow meters mounted on gas wells. Venturi flow meters were used. A series of well tests were conducted in various modes. To configure the streamer model, additional tuning studies were conducted on the separator. While testing the wells, the results of constructing a streamer model were verified by nodal analysis.

The term knowledge discovery in databases or KDD, for short, was coined in 1989 to refer to the broad process of finding knowledge in data, and to emphasize the “high-level” application of particular data mining (DM) methods. The DM phase concerns, mainly, the means by which the patterns are extracted and enumerated from data. Nowadays, the two terms are, usually, indistinctly used. Efforts are being developed in order to create standards and rules in the field of DM with great relevance being given to the subject of inductive databases. Within the context of inductive databases, a great relevance is given to the so-called DM languages. This chapter explores DM in KDD.

In today’s business world, the use of computers for everyday business processes and data recording has become virtually ubiquitous. With the advent of this electronic age comes one priceless by-product — data. As more and more executives are discovering each day, companies can harness data to gain valuable insights into their customer base. Data mining is the process used to take these immense streams of data and reduce them to useful knowledge. Data mining has limitless applications, including sales and marketing, customer support, knowledge-base development, not to mention fraud detection for virtually any field, etc. “Data mining,” a bit of a misnomer, refers to mining the data to find the gems hidden inside the data, and as such it is the most often-used reference to this process. It is important to note, however, that data mining is only one part of the Knowledge Discovery in Databases process, albeit it is the workhorse. In this chapter, we provide a concise description of the Knowledge Discovery process, from domain analysis and data selection, to data preprocessing and transformation, to the data mining itself, and finally the interpretation and evaluation of the results as applied to the domain. We describe the different flavors of data mining, including association rules, classification and prediction, clustering and outlier analysis, customer profiling, and how each of these can be used in practice to improve a business’ understanding of its customers. We introduce the reader to some of today’s hot data mining resources, and then for those that are interested, at the end of the chapter we provide a concise technical overview of how each data-mining technology works.

Tools And Techniques

Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) is a field of research that studies the development and use of various data analysis tools and techniques. KDD research has produced an array of models, theories, functions and methodologies for producing knowledge from data. However, despite these advances, nearly two thirds of information technology (IT) managers say that data mining products are too difficult to use in a business context. This chapter discusses how advances in data mining translate into the business context. It highlights the art of business implementation rather than the science of KDD.
