Abstract:

A system that facilitates data mining comprises a reception component that receives command(s) in a declarative language that relate to utilizing an output of a first data mining model as an input to a second data mining model. An implementation component analyzes the received command(s) and implements the command(s) with respect to the first and second data mining models. In another aspect of the subject invention, the reception component can receive further command(s) in a declarative language with respect to causing one or more of the first and second data mining models to output a prediction, the prediction desirably generated without prediction input, the implementation component causes the one or more of the first and second data mining models to output the prediction.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 4, 707103 R, 707 2

Abstract:

Architecture that facilitates syntax processing for data mining statements. The system includes a syntax engine that receives as an input a query statement which, for example, is a data mining request. The statement can be generated from many different sources, e. g. , a client application and/or a server application, and requests query processing of a data source (e. g. , a relational database) to return a result set. The syntax engine includes a binding component that converts the query statement into an encapsulated statement in accordance with a predefined grammar. The encapsulated statement includes both data and data operations to be performed on the data of the data source, and which is understood by the data source. An execution component processes the encapsulated statement against the data source to return the desired result set.

US Classification:

707 3

Abstract:

A standard mechanism for directly accessing unstructured data types (e. g. , image, audio, video, gene sequencing and text data) in accordance with data mining operations is provided. The subject innovation can enable access to unstructured data directly from within the data mining engine or tool. Accordingly, the innovation enables multiple vendors to provide algorithms for mining unstructured data on a data mining platform (e. g. , an SQL-brand server), thereby increasing adoption. As well, the subject innovation allows users to directly mine unstructured data that is not fixed-length, without pre-processing and tokenizing the data external to the data mining engine. In accordance therewith, the innovation can provide a mechanism to expand declarative language content types to include an “unstructured” data type thereby enabling a user and/or application to affirmatively designate mining data as an unstructured type.

International Classification:

US Classification:

706 21

Abstract:

Architecture for analyzing pattern shifts in data patterns of data mining models and outputting the results. This allows comparing and describing differences between two semantically similar sets of patterns (or mining models), and for analyzing historical changes in versions of the same model or differences in patterns found by two or more different algorithms applied to the same data. The architecture can also facilitate explaining data patterns that shift over time and over different data populations, and between versions of the same model that use different algorithms. A model component is employed for storing data mining models have respective sets of data patterns obtained from a dataset, and an analysis component analyzes the sets of the data patterns for difference data therebetween. The dataset can be a subsample of a larger set of data and can be analyzed by the analysis component over a time period.

US Classification:

709230, 707 10

Abstract:

The subject invention relates to systems and methods that extend the network data access capabilities of mark-up language protocols. In one aspect, a network data transfer system is provided. The system includes a protocol component that employs a computerized mark-up language to facilitate data interactions between network components, whereby the data interactions were previously limited or based on a statement command associated with the markup language. An extension component operates with the protocol component to support the data transactions, where the extension component supplies at least one other command from the statement command to facilitate the data interactions.

US Classification:

707754, 707776

Abstract:

A system that effectuates fetching a complete set of relational data into a mining services server and subsequently defining desired partitions upon the fetched data is provided. In accordance with the innovation, the data can be locally cached and partitioned therefrom. Accordingly, upon the same mining structure (e. g. , cache) that has been partitioned, the novel innovation can build mining models for each partition. In other words, the innovation can employ the concept of mining structure as a data cache while manipulating only partitions of this cache in certain operations. The innovation can be employed in scenarios where a user wants to train a mining model using only data points that satisfy a particular Boolean condition, a user wants to split the training set into multiple partitions (e. g. , training/testing) and/or a user wants to perform a data mining procedure known as “N-fold cross validation. ”.

US Classification:

706 46, 715212

Abstract:

Seeking goals in data that can be expressed as rows and columns is provided through predictive analytics. If a desired goal is achievable, the changes to the rows and/or columns that can achieve the goal are presented to a user. If the desired goal is not achievable, an error message or other indicator can be presented to the user. Predictive analytics can include a predictive algorithm, various data mining techniques, or other predictive techniques. A confidence metric of a goal-seek result can be normalized to estimate the degree of confidence that a particular change will yield the desired outcome.

US Classification:

706 45, 707776

Abstract:

Data expressed as tabular data having columns and rows can be analyzed and data determined to be an exception can be flagged. In addition, reasons for flagging such data as exceptions can be presented to a user to facilitate further analysis and action on the data. A predictive analysis component can utilize a clustering algorithm with predictive capabilities to autonomously analyze the data. Periodic re-analysis of the data can be performed to determine if exceptions have changed based on new or modified data.
