Typically 80% of the work
Most data scientists spend only 20 percent of their time
on actual data analysis and 80 percent of their time
finding, cleaning, and reorganizing huge amounts of
data, which is an inefficient data strategy1
Eliminated or minimized with Oracle
Data Management platform becomes
combine/hybrid DM + machine learning platform

Poorly Defined Better
Data Mining
Technique
Predict employees that leave
• Based on past employees that voluntarily left:
• Create New Attribute EmplTurnover à O/1
Predict customers that churn
• Based on past customers that have churned:
• Create New Attribute Churn à YES/NO
Target “best” customers
• Recency, Frequency Monetary (RFM) Analysis
• Specific Dollar Amount over Time Window:
• Who has spent $500+ in most recent 18 months
How can I make more $$? • What helps me sell soft drinks & coffee?
Which customers are likely to buy? • How much is each customer likely to spend?
Who are my “best customers”? • What descriptive “rules” describe “best customers”?
How can I combat fraud?
• Which transactions are the most anomalous?
• Then roll-up to physician, claimant, employee…
Week 1—Business Understanding
Start with a Well-Defined Business Problem Statement

Week 1—Business Understanding
Target “best” customers who have GOOD CREDIT and make payments
15
Be Extremely Specific in your Problem Statement

Week 2—Data Understanding
16
Review the Data; Does it Makes Sense?
Are AGEs all positive, 0-120?
Are INCOME values weekly or monthly?
Are the LOAN_AMOUNTS reasonable?
Etc….

17
Simple, exploratory graphs to understand
the data

18
Are AGEs all positive, 0-120?
Are INCOME values weekly or monthly?
Are the LOAN_AMOUNTS reasonable?
Etc….

Week 3—Data Preparation
Prepare the Data, Create New Derived Attributes or “Engineered Features”
Source Attribute New Attribute/”Engineered Feature”
Date of Birth AGE
Address DISTANCE_TO_DESTINATION
COMMUTE_TIME
Call detail records (CDRs) #_DROPPED_CALLS
PERCENT_INTERNATIONAL
Salary PERCENT_VS_PEERS
Purchases TOTALS_PER_CATEGORY (e.g. Food,
Clothing)

Week 3—Data Preparation
Oracle Machine Learning’s Auto Data Prep (ADP) and ML algorithms are designed with intelligent defaults
and can automatically deal with:
– Missing values
– Outliers
– Binning
– Too many distinct values
– Too many constants
– Trans data/aggregations
– Unstructured data
– Correlated data
20
Prepare the Data, Create New Derived Attributes or “Engineered Features”

Week 4—Modeling (Machine Learning)
21
First, Identify the Key Attributes That Most Influence the Target Attribute

22
Training and Testing ML Models using 60/40% Random Samples
Historical DataTrain Test
Build Model Test Model Evaluate ModelTrain ModelHistorical Data

23
Build multiple models with different algorithms and settings

Week 5—Model Evaluation (ML)
Randomly selected “hold
out” sample of data that
was used to train the ML
model
Compute Cumulative
Gains, Lift, Accuracy, etc.
Review the attributes used
in the model and model
coefficients
Make sure the model
makes sense
24
Next, test model accuracy
Model Evaluation

Week 6—Deployment
Simple SQL Apply scripts run
100% inside the Database for
immediate ML model deployment
25
Apply the Models to Predict “Best Customers”
Model Apply/”Scoring”

Week 6—Deployment
Simple SQL Apply scripts run 100% inside the Database
for model build, model apply and immediate ML model
deployment
26
Apply the Models to Predict “Best Customers”
