Ubiquitous and Invisible Data Mining

Ubiquitous Data Mining (UDM)

"Ubiquitous" means existing everywhere.

  • Definition: Mining data from everyday objects and devices (Smartphones, IoT, Wearables) in real-time.
  • Goal: To provide insights anytime, anywhere, without you asking for it.
  • Characteristics:
    • Mobile: Uses GPS and sensors.
    • Context-Aware: Knows where you are and what time it is.
    • Real-Time: Processes data instantly.

Examples

  • Smartphones: Google Maps predicting traffic.
  • Wearables: Smartwatches tracking your heart rate.
  • Smart Homes: Alexa learning your voice commands.

Invisible Data Mining

  • Definition: Mining that happens silently in the background. You don't see it happening.
  • Why "Invisible"?: It is embedded in apps and systems. You only see the result (like a recommendation).
  • Examples:
    • Amazon: "People who bought this also bought..."
    • Google Search: Auto-completing your sentence.
    • Banks: Detecting fraud without you knowing.
