CIG Research Group • Czech Technical University in Prague • Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEL) • Faculty of Information Technology (FIT)
CIG Research Group • Data Mining • Algorithms, Visualization, Automation • Biologically inspired algorithms • Evolutionary computation • Artificial neural networks • Artificial Intelligence • Machine learning, Optimization
Optimization in Data Mining • Main objective of the CIG research group ArtificialNeural Networks Evolutionarycomputation Data Mining Machinelearning ArtificialIntelligence Optimization
Dimensionality Reduction and Visualization in Data Mining • Linear projections • Principal Component Analysis (PCA) • Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) • Non-linear projections • Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) • Sammon Projection • Kernel PCA
Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) • Evolutionary Computation using human evaluation as the fitness function • Currently used almost exclusivelyfor artistic purposes • Images, Sounds, Animations… • Inspiration: http://picbreeder.org
Interactive Evolution PicBreeder by Jimmy Secretan Kenneth Stanley
Next generation … and so on …
And after 75 generations ... ... you eventually get something interesting
The technology hidden behind x grayscale z z x Neural net draws the image
Neuroevolution x grayscale z By clicking, you increase fitness of nets Next generations inherit fit building patterns
Using Interactive Evolutionin Exploratory Data Analysis • Experiment with evolvingprojections Examples inn-dimensionalspace 2D

Data Projection Experiments • Linear transformation • Evolve coefficient matrix • Do the transformation using formula: … resulting a point in 2D-space
Data Projection Experiments • Sigmoidal transformation • Evolve coefficient matrix • Do the transformation using formula: b a c
Experiments with Wine Dataset PCA SOM
There are many possible goals! „Blue points down“ – 5 generations, sigmoid projection Outlier Detection – 8 generations, linear projection
Conclusion • Interactive Evolution can be used in Exploratory Data Analysis • Our experiments show that complex projections can be easily evolved • In future, we plan to investigate such evolution in fields of Data Mining other than EDA
