The Restaurant Case

John

Jack used to come a lot, why he hasn't showed up for a while?

Why Bill's bar is more popular?

Is Roy a slow server?

Vancouver's best selling beer

Query From Computer

Busiest hour of the week

Data Driven Decision

John

People like the happy hour in Bill's Bar so much that the keep going there even when it's not happy hour.

 

Roy is a great server, he sells more food, and that's why it seems like he is slow.

 

The Honey BBQ Rib is the best seller, and it has 10% chance of sold out during weekend. So get enough stock before weekend.

But,is that good enough?

Machine Can do it Again and Again.

Data Mining

Machine Learning VS Data Mining

Data Mining discovers previously unknown patterns and knowledge

       

 

 

 

    Machine Learning is used to reproduce known

    patterns and knowledge, automatically apply           that to other data, and then automatically those       results to decision making and actions

 

               

 

 

 

Machine Learning Algorithms

Supervised Learning

Unsupervised Learning

Reinforced Learning

Supervised Learning

Algorithms are trained using labelled examples

 

Historical data predicts likely future events

 

Example : Credit Card Transactions

 

 

Unsupervised Learning

No Historical Labels

 

Goal is to explore data and find some structure within

 

Example : Customer Segmentation

 

 

Reinforced Learning

Learn by trial and error

 

Agent, Environment, Action

 

Example: Robotics, Gaming, Navigation

  1. Intuitive GUIs for building models and interactive data exploration and visualization
     
  2. Automated model evaluation to identify the best performers
     
  3. Easier model deployment so you can get repeatable, reliable results more quickly
