ID3 Example (Output1)
Starting state entropy:
4/15 log(15/4) + 8/15 log(15/8) + 3/15 log(15/3) = 0.4384





Fuzzy Set: Set membership function is a real valued
function with output in the range [0,1].
f(x): Probability x is in F.
1-f(x): Probability x is not in F.
EX:
– T = {x | x is a person and x is tall}
– Let f(x) be the probability that x is tall
– Here f is the membership function
DM: Prediction and classification are fuzzy.

Fuzzy Set Theory
A fuzzy subset A of U is characterized by a
membership function
(A,u) : U  [0,1]
which associates with each element u of U
a number (u) in the interval [0,1]
 Definition

– Let A and B be two fuzzy subsets of U. Also, let ¬A
be the complement of A. Then,
» (¬A,u) = 1 - (A,u)
» (AB,u) = max((A,u), (B,u))
» (AB,u) = min((A,u), (B,u))
CSE 5331/7331 F'2011
243
The world is imprecise.

Mathematical and Statistical techniques often
unsatisfactory.
– Experts make decisions with imprecise data in an
uncertain world.
– They work with knowledge that is rarely defined
mathematically or algorithmically but uses vague
terminology with words.

Fuzzy logic is able to use vagueness to
achieve a precise answer. By considering
shades of grey and all factors simultaneously,
you get a better answer, one that is more
suited to the situation.

Notation
For the member, x, of a discrete set with membership µ we use the
notation µ/x . In other words, x is a member of the set to degree µ. Discrete
sets are written as:
A = µ1/x1 + µ2/x2 + .......... + µn/xn
Or
where x1, x2....xn are members of the set A and µ1, µ2, ...., µn are their
degrees of membership. A continuous fuzzy set A is written as:

249
Fuzzy Sets





The members of a fuzzy set are members to
some degree, known as a membership grade
or degree of membership.
The membership grade is the degree of
belonging to the fuzzy set. The larger the
number (in [0,1]) the more the degree of
belonging. (N.B. This is not a probability)
The translation from x to µA(x) is known as
fuzzification.
A fuzzy set is either continuous or discrete.
Graphical representation of membership
functions is very useful.

Fuzzy Sets - Example
Again, notice the overlapping of the sets reflecting the real world
more accurately than if we were using a traditional approach.
CSE 5331/7331 F'2011

251
Rules

Rules often of the form:
IF x is A THEN y is B
where A and B are fuzzy sets defined on the
universes of discourse X and Y respectively.
– if pressure is high then volume is small;
– if a tomato is red then a tomato is ripe.
where high, small, red and ripe are fuzzy sets.

DB vs IR (cont’d)
Data retrieval
which docs contain a set of keywords?
Well defined semantics
a single erroneous object implies failure!
Information retrieval
information about a subject or topic
semantics is frequently loose
small errors are tolerated
IR system:
interpret contents of information items
generate a ranking which reflects relevance
notion of relevance is most important
CSE 5331/7331 F'2011
257
Motivation
IR in the last 20 years:
classification and categorization
systems and languages
user interfaces and visualization
Still, area was seen as of narrow interest
Advent of the Web changed this perception
once and for all
universal repository of knowledge
free (low cost) universal access
no central editorial board
many problems though: IR seen as key to finding the
solutions!

Information Retrieval



Similarity: measure of how close a query is
to a document.
Documents which are “close enough” are
retrieved.
Metrics:
– Precision = |Relevant and Retrieved|
|Retrieved|
– Recall = |Relevant and Retrieved|
|Relevant|
CSE 5331/7331 F'2011
261
Indexing


IR systems usually adopt index terms to
process queries
Index term:
– a keyword or group of selected words
– any word (more general)

Stemming might be used:
– connect: connecting, connection, connections

An inverted file is built for the chosen index
terms

Inverted Files

There are two main elements:
– vocabulary – set of unique terms
– Occurrences – where those terms appear
The occurrences can be recorded as
terms or byte offsets
 Using term offset is good to retrieve
concepts such as proximity, whereas
byte offsets allow direct access


Inverted Files



The number of indexed terms is often several
orders of magnitude smaller when compared
to the documents size (Mbs vs Gbs)
The space consumed by the occurrence list is
not trivial. Each time the term appears it must
be added to a list in the inverted file
That may lead to a quite considerable index
overhead

Ranking
A ranking is an ordering of the documents
retrieved that (hopefully) reflects the
relevance of the documents to the query
 A ranking is based on fundamental
premisses regarding the notion of relevance,
such as:


– common sets of index terms
– sharing of weighted terms
– likelihood of relevance
Each set of premisses leads to a distinct IR model
CSE 5331/7331 F'2011
© Baeza-Yates and Ribeiro-Neto
267
Classic IR Models - Basic Concepts
Each document represented by a set of
representative keywords or index terms
 An index term is a document word useful for
remembering the document main themes
 Usually, index terms are nouns because
nouns have meaning by themselves
 However, search engines assume that all
words are index terms (full text
representation)

CSE 5331/7331 F'2011
© Baeza-Yates and Ribeiro-Neto
268
Classic IR Models - Basic Concepts
The importance of the index terms is
represented by weights associated to
them
 ki- an index term
 dj - a document
 wij - a weight associated with (ki,dj)
 The weight wij quantifies the importance of
the index term for describing the document
contents

CSE 5331/7331 F'2011
© Baeza-Yates and Ribeiro-Neto
269
Classic IR Models - Basic Concepts
– t is the total number of index terms
– K = {k1, k2, …, kt} is the set of all index
terms
– wij >= 0 is a weight associated with (ki,dj)
– wij = 0 indicates that term does not belong
to doc
– dj= (w1j, w2j, …, wtj) is a weighted vector
associated with the document dj
– gi(dj) = wij is a function which returns the
weight associated with pair (ki,dj)
CSE 5331/7331 F'2011
© Baeza-Yates and Ribeiro-Neto
270
The Boolean Model
Simple model based on set theory
 Queries specified as boolean expressions

– precise semantics and neat formalism
Terms are either present or absent. Thus,
wij e {0,1}
 Consider

– q = ka  (kb  kc)
– qdnf = (1,1,1)  (1,1,0)  (1,0,0)
– qcc= (1,1,0) is a conjunctive component
CSE 5331/7331 F'2011
© Baeza-Yates and Ribeiro-Neto
271
The Vector Model
Use of binary weights is too limiting
 Non-binary weights provide consideration for
partial matches
 These term weights are used to compute a
degree of similarity between a query and
each document
 Ranked set of documents provides for better
matching

CSE 5331/7331 F'2011
© Baeza-Yates and Ribeiro-Neto
272
The Vector Model







wij > 0 whenever ki appears in dj
wiq >= 0 associated with the pair (ki,q)
dj = (w1j, w2j, ..., wtj)
q = (w1q, w2q, ..., wtq)
To each term ki is associated a unitary vector i
The unitary vectors i and j are assumed to be
orthonormal (i.e., index terms are assumed to
occur independently within the documents)
The t unitary vectors i form an orthonormal basis
for a t-dimensional space where queries and
documents are represented as weighted vectors

275
Boolean Queries

Keywords combined with Boolean operators:
– OR: (e1 OR e2)
– AND: (e1 AND e2)
– BUT: (e1 BUT e2) Satisfy e1 but not e2


Negation only allowed using BUT to allow
efficient use of inverted index by filtering
another efficiently retrievable set.
Naïve users have trouble with Boolean logic.

276
Boolean Retrieval with Inverted Indices
Primitive keyword: Retrieve containing
documents using the inverted index.
 OR: Recursively retrieve e1 and e2 and
take union of results.
 AND: Recursively retrieve e1 and e2 and
take intersection of results.
 BUT: Recursively retrieve e1 and e2 and
take set difference of results.

CSE 5331/7331 F'2011

277
Phrasal Queries

Retrieve documents with a specific phrase
(ordered list of contiguous words)
– “information theory”

May allow intervening stop words and/or
stemming.
– “buy camera” matches:
“buy a camera”
“buying the cameras”
etc.
CSE 5331/7331 F'2011
© Baeza-Yates and Ribeiro-Neto
278
Phrasal Retrieval with Inverted Indices



Must have an inverted index that also stores
positions of each keyword in a document.
Retrieve documents and positions for each
individual word, intersect documents, and
then finally check for ordered contiguity of
keyword positions.
Best to start contiguity check with the least
common word in the phrase.

279
Proximity Queries
List of words with specific maximal
distance constraints between terms.
 Example: “dogs” and “race” within 4
words
match “…dogs will begin
the race…”
 May also perform stemming and/or not
count stop words.

CSE 5331/7331 F'2011

Pattern Matching
Allow queries that match strings rather
than word tokens.
 Requires more sophisticated data
structures and algorithms than inverted
indices to retrieve efficiently.


281
Simple Patterns

Prefixes: Pattern that matches start of word.
– “anti” matches “antiquity”, “antibody”, etc.

Suffixes: Pattern that matches end of word:
– “ix” matches “fix”, “matrix”, etc.

Substrings: Pattern that matches arbitrary
subsequence of characters.
– “rapt” matches “enrapture”, “velociraptor” etc.

Ranges: Pair of strings that matches any
word lexicographically (alphabetically)
between them.
– “tin” to “tix” matches “tip”, “tire”, “title”, etc.

– Center of the star has facts shown in fact tables
– Outside of the facts, each diemnsion is shown
separately in dimension tables
– Access to fact table from dimension table via join
SELECT Quantity, Price
FROM Facts, Location
Where (Facts.LocationID = Location.LocationID) and
(Location.City = ‘Dallas’)
– View as relations, problem volume of data and

OLAP




Online Analytic Processing (OLAP): provides more
complex queries than OLTP.
OnLine Transaction Processing (OLTP): traditional
database/transaction processing.
Dimensional data; cube view
Visualization of operations:
– Slice: examine sub-cube.
– Dice: rotate cube to look at another dimension.
– Roll Up/Drill Down
DM: May use OLAP queries.

Dimensional data; cube view
Support ad hoc querying
Require analysis of data
Can be thought of as an extension of some of the basic
aggregation functions available in SQL
OLAP tools may be used in DSS systems
Multidimentional view is fundamental
CSE 5331/7331 F'2011

OLAP Implementations

MOLAP (Multidimensional OLAP)
– Multidimential Database (MDD)
– Specialized DBMS and software system capable of
supporting the multidimensional data directly
– Data stored as an n-dimensional array (cube)
– Indexes used to speed up processing

ROLAP (Relational OLAP)
– Data stored in a relational database
– ROLAP server (middleware) creates the
multidimensional view for the user
– Less Complex; Less efficient

HOLAP (Hybrid OLAP)
– Not updated frequently – MDD
– Updated frequently - RDB


Simple query – single cell in the cube
Slice – Look at a subcube to get more
specific information
Dice – Rotate cube to look at another
dimension
Roll Up – Dimension Reduction; Aggregation
Drill Down
Visualization: These operations allow the
OLAP users to actually “see” results of an
operation.
