Abstract

In this talk, we will answer questions like what data mining (DM) is, why interested in DM, and how to use DM in the era of big data and cloud computing.  In particular, we will analyze DM applications in the framework of common sense business strategy – find more, win more and keep more.  Then we will illustrate some examples of data mining applications in the areas of marketing, risk, pricing and web analytics.  In addition, we will emphasize the role of hybrid systems in leveraging ensemble of traditional academic disciplines such as computer science, statistics, management science and engineering to develop an integrated solution to real-world business problems.  Finally, the talk will be concluded by outlining the core competency of a data miner in the age of cloud-enabled knowledge discovery – the ability to manage data, make sense of data, build predictive models, prototype analytic engines, and make recommendations and business decisions.
