Data Mining Techniques

3.1 Introduction

We have used data mining and analytics techniques in several of our efforts for various applications such as social media systems and intrusion detection systems. For example, in our previous book [THUR16], we discussed algorithms for location-based data mining that will extract the locations of the various social media (e.g., Twitter) users. These algorithms can be extended to extract other demographics data. Our prior research has also developed data mining tools for sentiment analysis as well as for cyber security applications. In Parts II and III, we will discuss scalability aspects of stream data mining and will apply the techniques for cyber security applications (e.g., insider threat detection). ...
