History of Datamining and Its Impact On Society

Data mining has evolved significantly since its origins in the 1930s and now impacts society in many ways. [1] Early concepts like Bayes' theorem, regression, and Turing's stored-program laid the foundations for later techniques. [2] Neural networks, genetic algorithms, and support vector machines now allow machines to learn from large datasets. [3] Data mining is applied across industries like education, healthcare, and telecommunications to gain insights that improve services for society.

History of datamining and its impact on society

The terms mentioned above in the figure can be defined as follows:


Bayes theorem: Bayes' theorem describes the probability of an event, based on prior knowledge of
conditions that might be related to the event.
Regression: A measure of the relation between the mean value of one variable (e.g. output) and
corresponding values of other variables (e.g. time and cost).
Turing: In 1936, at Cambridge University, Alan Turing invented the principle of the modern computer. He
described an abstract digital computing machine consisting of a limitless memory and a scanner that
moves back and forth through the memory, symbol by symbol, reading what it finds and writing further
symbols. The actions of the scanner are dictated by a program of instructions that is stored in the memory
in the form of symbols. This is Turing's stored-program concept, and implicit in it is the possibility of the
machine operating on and modifying its own program. (In London in 1947, in the course of what was, so
far as is known, the earliest public lecture to mention computer intelligence, Turing said, ‘What we want
3

is a machine that can learn from experience’, adding that the ‘possibility of letting the machine alter its
own instructions provides the mechanism for this’.
Neural Network: A beautiful biologically-inspired programming paradigm which enables a computer to
learn from observational data. Learn by example.
Evolutionary computing: Evolutionary computation is a general name for a group of problem-solving
techniques(algorithms) whose principles are based on the theory of biological evolution, such as genetic
inheritance and natural selection.
Database: A database is an organized collection of data, generally stored and accessed electronically from
a computer system. Where databases are more complex. They are often developed using formal design
and modeling techniques.
Genetic algorithm: A genetic algorithm is a search heuristic (The term heuristic is used for algorithms
which find solutions among all possible ones, but not the best will be found.) that is inspired by Charles
Darwin's theory of natural evolution. This algorithm reflects the process of natural selection where the
fittest individuals are selected for reproduction in order to produce offspring of the next generation.
KDD: Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) is the process of discovering useful knowledge from a
collection of data.
SVM: Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are supervised learning methods used for classification and
regression tasks that originated from statistical learning theory.
Data science: Data science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms
and systems to extract knowledge and insights from data in various forms, both structured and
unstructured, similar to data mining.
Big data: Extremely large data sets that may be analyzed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and
associations, especially relating to human behavior and interactions.
Moneyball: it changed the way in which many real group font workplaces work together. The Oakland
athletic used a measurable information driven way to analyze characteristics of palyers.
Impact on society
The main focus of data mining was tabular data however, with the evolving technology and different
needs new sources were formed to be mined which has a great impact on society. A few are described
below:
Text Mining: Still a popular data mining activity, it categorizes or clusters large document collections such
as news articles or web pages. Another application is opinion mining where the techniques are applied
to obtain useful information from the questionnaire style data.
Image Mining: In image mining, mining techniques are applied to images (2D and 3D)
Graph Mining: It is formed from frequent pattern mining, which is focused on frequently occurring sub-
graphs. A popular extension of graph mining is social network mining.
Education Sector: It has been observed that data mining has been used in many studies in the education
sector including determining the status of students’ pass and fail.
Health Sector:
4

 To determine the treatment method.


 To estimate the resource use and patient numbers in hospitals.
Telecommunication: To predict mobile user movements in the communications sector.
