Data Mining Projects for Graduate Computer Science
This repository contains various data mining projects completed as part of a graduate computer science course. The projects explore different techniques and applications of data mining, using various tools and programming languages. Each project includes a detailed description, code implementation, and results analysis.
Project Overview
-
Project 1: Customer Segmentation
- Description: Analyze customer data to identify distinct customer segments based on their purchasing behavior.
- Tools: Python, Pandas, Scikit-learn
- Results: Identified four customer segments with distinct characteristics and purchasing patterns.
-
Project 2: Sentiment Analysis
- Description: Classify movie reviews as positive or negative using sentiment analysis techniques.
- Tools: Python, NLTK, VaderSentiment
- Results: Achieved an accuracy of 85% in sentiment classification using a Naive Bayes classifier.
-
Project 3: Market Basket Analysis
- Description: Discover frequent itemset patterns in transaction data to identify potential product groupings for upselling and cross-selling.
- Tools: Python, Apriori algorithm
- Results: Identified frequent itemsets with high support and confidence, suggesting potential product groupings.
Project Contributions
I have contributed to these projects by:
- Data preprocessing: Cleaning, organizing, and transforming data for analysis.
- Exploratory data analysis: Visualizing and summarizing data to understand its characteristics and patterns.
- Model development: Implementing various data mining algorithms and evaluating their performance.
- Results analysis: Interpreting and communicating findings from data analysis.
Future Directions
Further exploration of data mining techniques and applications is planned, including:
- Predictive modeling: Developing models to predict customer behavior or future outcomes.
- Recommendation systems: Building systems to recommend products or services to users based on their preferences.
- Big data mining: Exploring techniques for handling and analyzing large-scale datasets.
