Classification vs Prediction Classification predicts categorical class labels(discrete or nominal classifies data(constructs a model) based on the training set and the values class labels)in a classifying attribute and uses it in classifying new data Prediction models continuous-valued functions, i. e, predicts unknown or missing values

2 ◼ Classification ◼ predicts categorical class labels (discrete or nominal) ◼ classifies data (constructs a model) based on the training set and the values (class labels) in a classifying attribute and uses it in classifying new data ◼ Prediction ◼ models continuous-valued functions, i.e., predicts unknown or missing values Classification vs. Prediction

Classifications Definition Given a collection of records (training set Each record contains a set of attributes one of the attributes is the class find a model for class attribute as a function of the values of other attributes Goal previously unseen records should be assigned a class as accurately as possible a test set is used to determine the accuracy of the model Usually the given data set is divided into training and test sets, with training set used to build the model and test set used to validate it

3 Classification: Definition ◼ Given a collection of records (training set ) ◼ Each record contains a set of attributes, one of the attributes is the class. ◼ Find a model for class attribute as a function of the values of other attributes. ◼ Goal: previously unseen records should be assigned a class as accurately as possible. ◼ A test set is used to determine the accuracy of the model. Usually, the given data set is divided into training and test sets, with training set used to build the model and test set used to validate it

Supervised vs Unsupervised Learning Supervised learning (classification) Supervision The training data (observations measurements etc are accompanied by labels indicating the class of the observations New data is classified based on the training set Unsupervised learning(clustering) The class labels of training data is unknown Given a set of measurements observations etc with the aim of establishing the existence of classes or clusters in e data 4

4 Supervised vs. Unsupervised Learning ◼ Supervised learning (classification) ◼ Supervision: The training data (observations, measurements, etc.) are accompanied by labels indicating the class of the observations ◼ New data is classified based on the training set ◼ Unsupervised learning (clustering) ◼ The class labels of training data is unknown ◼ Given a set of measurements, observations, etc. with the aim of establishing the existence of classes or clusters in the data

Prediction problems: Classification vs. Numeric Prediction Classification predicts categorical class labels(discrete or nominal) classifies data(constructs a model) based on the training set and the values (class labels)in a classifying attribute and uses it in classifying new data ■ Numeric Prediction models continuous-valued functions, i.e. predicts unknown or missing values Typical applications Credit/loan approval Medical diagnosis: if a tumor is cancerous or benign a fraud detection: if a transaction is fraudulent u Web page categorization: which category it is 5

Classification→ATw。- Step Process Model construction: describing a set of predetermined classes Each tuple/sample is assumed to belong to a predefined class, as determined by the class label attribute the set of tuples used for model construction is training set the model is represented as classification rules decision trees or mathematical formulae Model usage: for classifying future or unknown objects Estimate accuracy of the model The known label of test sample is compared with the classified result from the model Accuracy rate is the percentage of test set samples that are correctly classified by the model Test set is independent of training set otherwise overfitting If the accuracy is acceptable, use the model to classify new data Note: If the test set is used to select models, it is called validation (test) set

Algorithm for Decision Tree Induction Basic algorithm (a greedy algorithm) Tree is constructed in a top-down recursive divide-and conquer manner At start all the training examples are at the root Attributes are categorical (if continuous-valued, they are discretized in advance) Examples are partitioned recursively based on selected attributes a Test attributes are selected on the basis of a heuristic or statistical measure(e.g information gain Conditions for stopping partitioning All samples for a given node belong to the same class There are no remaining attributes for further partitioning majority voting is employed for classifying the leaf There are no samples left
