distributedDataMining (dDM) is the name of a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to perform research in the various fields of Data Analysis and Machine Learning. The project uses the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) for the distribution of research related tasks to several computers. The intent of BOINC is to enable researchers to tap into the enormous processing power of personal computers around the world. If you are willing to support our research challenges please participate in the dDM-Project: Register and download the BOINC software and Java 1.6. After installing and starting BOINC enter the following project URL: http://ddm.nicoschlitter.de/DistributedDataMining/. Please visit our forum to discuss dDM related issues.

All dDM applications use the open source framework RapidMiner. This data mining suite - developed at University of Dortmund - provides various machine learning methods for data analysis purposes. The RapidMinder provides a comfortable plug-in mechanism to easily add new developed algorithms. This flexibility and the processing power of BOINC is an ideal foundation for scientific distributed Data Mining. The dDM project takes that opportunity and serves as a metaproject for different kind of machine learning applications. Below, you find a list of our subprojects and the related scientific publications.

Time Series Prediction

Stock Price Prediction (active)

Part of our research is devoted to Time Series Analysis. Our focus is on forecasting economic time series such as DAX and Dow Jones. At first, we focused on the application of artificial neural networks to forecast time series. A detailed description on this approach, the design of the experimental setting as well as the results are presented in [4]. Later on, we applied support vector machines to avoid the high computational complexity of neural networks. The resulting forecasts are equally impressive even though the necessary computational costs can be decreased significantly. In 2008, we published two related studies [5] and [6]. We extended our studies by using various learning algorithms in order to determine there applicability for stock price prediction. After analyzing the obtained results we made two important observations: (i) the influence of the learning algorithm is much lower than expected, but instead (ii) the training window size has a stronger impact on the quality of the prediction. Since, so far, temporal effects are rarely addressed in the literature, we concentrate in our dDM-project on the study of these temporal aspects in time series analysis.

Social Network Analysis

Tanja Falkowski proposed DenGraph - a density-based graph clustering algorithm. This algorithm is deployable for - among other things - Social Network Analysis. The following studies were part of her PhD theses that is published as a book.

Temporal Dynamics of the Last.fm Music Platform (temporarily suspended)

In this application we applied DenGraph-IO to detect and observe changes in the music listening behaviour of Last.fm users during a period of two years. The aim was to see, whether the proposed clustering technique detects meaningful communities and evolutions [1], [2]. read more

Temporal Evolution of Communities in the Enron Email Data Set (finished)

The collapse of Enron, a U.S. company honored in six consecutive years by "Fortune" as "America's Most Innovative Company", caused one of the biggest bankruptcy cases in US-history. To investigate the case, a data set of approximately 1.5 million e-mails sent or received by Enron employees was published by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. We've used the processing power of dDM to analyze the temporal evolution of communities extracted from these email correspondences [3]. read more
