Big Data Mining Applications and Services
Carson Kai-Sang Leung · 2015
Data mining and analytics aims to analyze valuable data and extract implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from the data. Due to advances in technology, high volumes of valuable data are generated at a high velocity in high varieties of data sources in various real-life business, scientific and engineering applications. Due to their high volumes, the quality and accuracy of these data depend on their veracity (uncertainty of data). This leads us into the new era of Big Data. This paper presents some works on big data mining and computing, especially on an important task of frequent pattern mining, which computes and mines from big data for interesting knowledge in the forms of frequently occurring sets of merchandise items in shopping markets, interesting co-located events, and/or popular individuals in social networks. The paper also shows how big data mining contributes to real-life applications and services.
