Presentation on data preparation with pandasAkshitaKanther
Data preparation is the first step after you get your hands on any kind of dataset. This is the step when you pre-process raw data into a form that can be easily and accurately analyzed. Proper data preparation allows for efficient analysis - it can eliminate errors and inaccuracies that could have occurred during the data gathering process and can thus help in removing some bias resulting from poor data quality. Therefore a lot of an analyst's time is spent on this vital step.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Optimizing Gradle Builds - Gradle DPE Tour Berlin 2024Sinan KOZAK
Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.

Objects
4. Data Objects
• A data object represents an entity.
• Examples:
– Sales database: customers, store items, sales
– Medical database: patients, treatments
– University database: students, professors, courses
• Also called examples, instances, records, cases,
samples, data points, objects, etc.
• Data objects are described by attributes.
3
5. Attributes
• An attribute is a data field, representing a
characteristic or feature of a data object.
• Example:
– Customer Data: customer _ID, name, gender, age, address,
phone number, etc.
– Product data: product_ID, price, quantity, manufacturer,
etc.
• Also called features, variables, fields, dimensions, etc.
4
6. Attribute Types (1)
• Nominal (Discrete) Attribute
– Has only a finite set of values (such as, categories, states,
etc.)
– E.g., Hair_color = {black, blond, brown, grey, red, white, …}
– E.g., marital status, zip codes
• Numeric (Continuous) Attribute
– Has real numbers as attribute values
– E.g., temperature, height, or weight.
• Question: what about student id, SIN, year of birth?
5
7. Attribute Types (2)
• Binary
– A special case of nominal attribute: with only 2 states (0
and 1)
– Gender = {male, female};
– Medical test = {positive, negative}
• Ordinal
– Usually a special case of nominal attribute: values have a
meaningful order (ranking)
– Size = {small, medium, large}
– Army rankings

9. Data Preprocessing
• Why preprocess the data?
– Data quality is poor in real world.
– No quality data, no quality mining results!
• Measures for data quality
– Accuracy: noise, outliers, …
– Completeness: missing values, …
– Redundancy: duplicated data, irrelevant data, …
– Consistency: some modified but some not, …
– ……

– Handle missing values, noisy / outlier data, resolve
inconsistencies, …
• Data Transformation

12. Data Cleaning
• Missing value: lacking attribute values
– E.g., Occupation = “ ”
• Noise (Error): modification of original values
– E.g., Salary = “−10”
• Outlier: considerably different from most of the
other data (not necessarily error)
– E.g., Salary = “2,100,000”
• Inconsistency: discrepancies in codes or names
– E.g., Age=“42”, Birthday=“03/07/2010”
– Was rating “1, 2, 3”, now rating “A, B, C”
• ……
11
13. Missing Values
• Reasons for missing values
– Information is not collected
• E.g., people decline to give their age and weight
– Attributes may not be applicable to all cases
• E.g., annual income is not applicable to children
– Human / Hardware / Software problems
• E.g., Birthdate information is accidentally deleted for all
people born in 1988.
– ……
12
14. How to Handle Missing Value?
• Eliminate ignore missing value
• Eliminate ignore the examples
• Eliminate ignore the features
• Simple; not applicable when data is scarce
• Estimate missing value
– Global constant : e.g., “unknown”,
– Attribute mean (median, mode)
– Predict the value based on features (data imputation)
• Estimate gender based on first name (name gender)
• Estimate age based on first name (name popularity)
• Build a predictive model based on other features
– Missing value estimation depends on the missing reason!
13
16. Noisy (Outlier) Data
• Noise: refers to modification of original values
• Incorrect attribute values may be due to
– faulty data collection instruments
– data entry problems
– data transmission problems
– technology limitation
– inconsistency in naming convention
15
17. How to Handle Noisy (Outlier) Data?
• Binning
– first sort data and partition into (equal-frequency) bins
– then one can smooth by bin means, smooth by bin median,
smooth by bin boundaries, etc.
• Regression
– smooth by fitting the data into regression functions
• Clustering
– detect and remove outliers
• Combined computer and human inspection
– detect suspicious values and check by human
16
18. Binning
Sort data in ascending order: 4, 8, 9, 15, 21, 21, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 34
• Partition into equal-frequency (equal-depth) bins:
– Bin 1: 4, 8, 9, 15
– Bin 2: 21, 21, 24, 25
– Bin 3: 26, 28, 29, 34
• Smoothing by bin means:
– Bin 1: 9, 9, 9, 9
– Bin 2: 23, 23, 23, 23
– Bin 3: 29, 29, 29, 29
• Smoothing by bin boundaries:
– Bin 1: 4, 4, 4, 15
– Bin 2: 21, 21, 25, 25
– Bin 3: 26, 26, 26, 34

22. Data Transformation
• Aggregation:
– Attribute / example summarization
• Feature type conversion:
– Nominal Numeric, …
• Normalization:
– Scaled to fall within a small, specified range
• Attribute/feature construction:
– New attributes constructed from the given ones
21
23. Aggregation
• Combining two or more attributes (examples) into a single
attribute (example)
• Combining two or more attribute values into a single attribute
value
• Purpose
– Change of scale
• Cities aggregated into regions, states, countries, etc
– More “stable” data
• Aggregated data tends to have less variability
– More “predictive” data
• Aggregated data might have high Predictability
22
25. Feature Type Conversion
• Some algorithms can only handle numeric features; some can
only handle nominal features. Only few can handle both.
• Features have to be converted to satisfy the requirement of
learning algorithms.
– Numeric Nominal (Discretization)
• E.g., Age Discretization: Young 18-29; Career 30-40; Mid-Life 41-55;
Empty-Nester 56-69; Senior 70+
– Nominal Numeric
• Introduce multiple numeric features for one nominal feature
• Nominal Binary (Numeric)
• E.g., size={L, M, S} size_L: 0, 1; size_M: 0, 1; size_S: 0, 1

Scale the attribute values to a small specified range
• Min-max normalization: to [new_minA, new_maxA]
– E.g., Let income range $12,000 to $98,000 normalized to [0.0, 1.0].
Then $73,000 is mapped to

30. Sampling
• Big data era: too expensive (or even infeasible) to
process the entire data set
• Sampling: obtaining a small sample to represent the
entire data set ( ---- undersampling)
• Oversampling is also required in some scenarios,
such as class imbalance problem
– E.g., 100 HIV test results: 5 positive, 995 negative
29
31. Sampling Principle
Key principle for effective sampling:
• Using a sample will work almost as well as using the
entire data sets, if the sample is representative
• A sample is representative if it has approximately the
same property (of interest) as the original set of data
30
32. Types of Sampling (1)
• Random sampling without replacement
– As each example is selected, it is removed from the population
• Random sampling with replacement
– Examples are not removed from the population after being selected
• The same example can be picked up more than once
31
Raw Data
33. Types of Sampling (2)
• Stratified sampling
– Split the data into several partitions; then draw random
samples from each partition
32
Raw Data Stratified Sampling
35. Dimensionality Reduction
• Purpose:
– Reduce amount of time and memory required by data
mining algorithms
– Allow data to be more easily visualized
– May help to eliminate irrelevant features or reduce noise
• Techniques
– Feature Selection
– Feature Extraction
34
36. Feature Selection
• Redundant features
– Duplicated information contained in different features
– E.g., “Age”, “Year of Birth”; “Purchase price”, “Sales tax”
• Irrelevant features
– Containing no information that is useful for the task
– E.g., students' ID is irrelevant to predicting GPA
• Goal:
– A minimum set of features containing all (most)
information
35
37. Heuristic Search in Feature Selection
• Given d features, there are 2d possible feature
combinations
– Exhaust search won’t work
– Heuristics has to be applied
• Typical heuristic feature selection methods:
– Feature ranking
– Forward feature selection
– Backward feature elimination
– Bidirectional search (selection + elimination)
– Search based on evolution algorithm
– ……
36
38. Feature Ranking
• Steps:
1) Rank all the individual features according to certain criteria
(e.g., information gain, gain ratio, χ2)
2) Select / keep top N features
• Properties:
– Usually independent of the learning algorithm to be used
– Efficient (no search process)
– Hard to determine the threshold
– Unable to consider correlation between features
37
39. Forward Feature Selection
• Steps:
1) First select the best single-feature (according to the learning
algorithm)
2) Repeat (until some stop criterion is met):
Select the next best feature, given the already picked features
• Properties:
– Usually learning algorithm dependent
– Feature correlation is considered
– More reliable
– Inefficient
38
40. Backward Feature Elimination
• Steps:
1) First build a model based on all the features
2) Repeat (until some criterion is met):
Eliminate the feature that makes the least contribution.
• Properties:
– Usually learning algorithm dependent
– Feature correlation is considered
– More reliable
– Inefficient
39
41. Filter vs Wrapper Model
• Filter model
– Separating feature selection from learning
– Relying on general characteristics of data (information, etc.)
– No bias toward any learning algorithm, fast
– Feature ranking usually falls into here
• Wrapper model
– Relying on a predetermined learning algorithm
– Using predictive accuracy as goodness measure
– High accuracy, computationally expensive
– FFS, BFE usually fall into here
40
43. Feature Extraction
• Map original high-dimensional data onto a lower-
dimensional space
– Generate a (smaller) set of new features
– Preserve all (most) information from the original data
• Techniques
– Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
– Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA)
– Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA)
– Independent Component Analysis (ICA)
– Manifold Learning
– ……
42
44. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
• Find a projection that captures the largest amount of variation
in data
• The original data are projected onto a much smaller space,
resulting in dimensionality reduction.

45. Principal Component Analysis (Steps)
• Given data from n-dimensions (n features), find k ≤ n new
features (principal components) that can best represent data
– Normalize input data: each feature falls within the same range
– Compute k principal components (details omitted)
– Each input data is projected in the new k-dimensional space
– The new features (principal components ) are sorted in order of
decreasing “significance” or strength
– Eliminate weak components / features to reduce dimensionality.
• Works for numeric data only

46. PCA Demonstration
• UCIbreast-w
– Accuracy with all features
– PrincipalComponents (data transformation)
– Visualize/save transformed data (first two features, last
two features)
– Accuracy with all transformed features
– Accuracy with top 1 or 2 feature(s)

occupies about 70% workload in a data mining task.
• Domain knowledge is usually required to do good
data preprocessing.
• To improve a predictive performance of a model
– Improve learning algorithms (different algorithms,
different parameters)
• Most data mining research focuses on here
– Improve data quality ---- data preprocessing
• Deserve more attention!
