1 Software Announcement March 20, 2001 IBM DB2 Intelligent Miner Scoring V7R1 Delivers Mining Analytics to Operational Applications Overview If you want to apply data mining analytics closer to the point of contact with customers, suppliers, or employees, look no further than DB2 Intelligent Miner Scoring V7R1 (IM Scoring). IM Scoring is an economical and easy-to-use mining deployment capability. It can influence the handling of transactions as they occur in BI, e-commerce, and OLTP applications. This new data mining technology can help your business develop personalized treatment for customers and suppliers, as well as offer guidance to employees for more informed decision-making. Work Smarter IM Scoring enables users to leverage advanced business intelligence at the point of user contact by scoring or ranking the subject of that transaction in real time. A loan officer can determine a customer s credit-worthiness based on a predictive model and institution policies while the applicant is on the phone. The same intelligence can be used to automate the process for a self-service Internet site. In both cases, cross-selling opportunity can be automatically presented to the customer. Additional business opportunities might hinge on recommendations regarding method of payment, level of customer service, optimum supply source, best medical practice, priority of sales prospects. The Benefits of Intelligent Design IM Scoring makes it easier for your staff to do their jobs well and that s good for your company. Development is simplified by using SQL as the programming interface and processing the mining model external to the application program. Developers are left to concentrate on business requirements. Mining models can be updated dynamically with a SQL call, without disruption to production systems. As new intelligence becomes available your business can remain on top of the latest trends and policy. Built as user-defined extensions to the relational database, IM Scoring functions are a natural extension to SQL analytic capabilities. They are also implemented to leverage underlying DB2 parallel processing for mass scoring operations. Based on Industry Standards An implementation based on new industry standards for data mining increases the opportunity for vendor interoperability and long-term stability. The Predictive Modeling Markup Language (PMML) standard provides a vendor-independent method of defining predictive models. Data mining extensions to the ISO SQL standard provide a relational programming interface, including the definition for managing mining models in a relational table.

2 Description DB2 Intelligent Miner Scoring (IM Scoring) is an economical and easy-to-use mining deployment capability. It enables users to incorporate mining analytics into BI, e-commerce, and OLTP applications. Applications score records to segment, classify, or rank the subject of those records based on a set of predetermined criteria expressed in a data mining model. These applications can better serve business and consumer users alike to provide more informed recommendations, to alter a process based on past behavior, to build more efficiencies into the online experience; to, in general, be more responsive to the specific situation at hand. IM Scoring supports clustering, classification, and regression scoring functions. Clustering includes demographic and neural clustering Classification includes tree and neural classification Regression includes Radial Basis Functions (RBF) prediction, neural prediction, and polynomial regression Designed to score operational data, implementations for both DB2 UDB extenders and Oracle cartridges are provided. Data mining models can be developed using DB2 Intelligent Miner for Data V6R1. All scoring functions offered by the DB2 Intelligent Miner for Data V6R1 are supported by IM Scoring. As trends change or new information becomes available, the data mining models used by IM Scoring can be updated dynamically, allowing continuous improvement in business results without disrupting production systems by regenerating and promoting mining models. Because IM Scoring eliminates the need for developers to program to low-level proprietary APIs or understand arcane data formats, it is easier for them to deploy advanced mining analytics in business intelligence and operational applications. Built as user defined extensions, the new scoring functions directly integrate data mining technology into the relational database management system for rapid application development and deployment, and leverage underlying DB2 capabilities for faster application performance. IM Scoring provides the infrastructure necessary to deploy data mining analytics in enterprise applications and manage the promotion of data mining models. Central to this infrastructure is Predictive Modeling Markup Language (PMML), the new industry standard for data mining models. The Data Mining Group: working with representatives from the data mining software industry and from academia, defined this standard to easily create and share models. PMML is an extensible Markup Language (XML)-based language that provides applications with a vendor-independent method of defining predictive models. As a result, proprietary incompatibilities will no longer be a barrier to the exchange of models between applications. Predictive models express the patterns of information discovered in data mining. The programming interface for IM Scoring is designed in accordance with the International Organization for Standardization s (ISO) SQL Multimedia and Application Packages Part 6: Data Mining draft recommendations for accessing data mining functionality through SQL. The ISO standard is comprehensive and will likely result in minimal impact on the overall structure of SQL. In a nutshell, there are new data-types and functions introduced to handle the importation and storage of PMML models (as large objects), the preparation of user data to be processed by the models, the application of those models, and the post-application extraction of results. To support application execution in a variety of environments, IM Scoring has been implemented as both DB2 extenders and Oracle cartridges. Version 7.1 provides DB2 extenders for AIX, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Sun Solaris, Linux, and Linux/390 servers. Transparently, customers can use DB2 DataJoiner to provide access to a wide range of non-db2 data sources. Customers can also benefit from DB2 parallel processing for scoring large volumes of data. Version 7.1 also provides an Oracle cartridge implementation for Windows NT and Windows 2000 servers, and staged support for AIX and Sun Solaris (via PTFs). A Typical Customer Scenario Iteratively develop a data mining model using one of the following algorithms of DB2 Intelligent Miner for Data V6R1 (IM for Data): Demographic and neural clustering Tree and neural classification RBF and neural prediction Stepwise polynomial regression When finalized, export the data mining model (the IM for Data result file) to a file. Install IM Scoring V7R1 on the system where scoring is to be performed as an add-on service to the database management system (DBMS). This target system can be different from the one used to develop the model; IM for Data is not required for the execution of IM Scoring. The database extenders of IM Scoring DB2 extenders or Oracle cartridges are installed on the target database servers according to the installation procedures of the respective DB2 or Oracle DBMS. Transfer the IM for Data result file to the target system. Using IM Scoring utility functions, convert it to a PMML 1.1 compliant XML format and store the XML object in a database table. Once the model is loaded into a database, it can be applied to compatible records in the database by the IM Scoring functions. Score the data by invoking an SQL statement. The SQL statement names the IM Scoring function to be executed and identifies the mining model for scoring the data. The DB2 or Oracle SQL statement is expressed per the ISO standards for custom data mining extenders. Invocation of the IM Scoring functions will be performed by the respective DBMS. Supported Platforms DB2 IM Scoring V7R1 provides DB2 extenders for AIX, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Sun Solaris, Linux, and Linux/390 servers. Transparently, customers can use DB2 DataJoiner to provide access to a wide range of non-db2 data sources. Customers can also benefit from DB2 parallel processing for scoring large volumes of data. V7R1 also provides an Oracle cartridge implementation for Windows NT and Windows 2000 servers, and staged support for AIX, and Sun Solaris (via PTFs)

DB2 Intelligent Miner Scoring V7R1 is targeted for use in business intelligence, operational, and e-commerce applications. Business Intelligence Applications Mining analytics are widely leveraged in this class of applications. Dominant usage in this space is across the full range of CRM applications, but notably within market segmentation, campaign management, call center, and churn analysis applications. There is also a growing use of mining analytics in financial analysis, and in areas such as product performance and sales trend analysis. The value that IM Scoring brings to this class of applications often involves automating the application of mining analytics. Some simple examples: Reclassification of customers based on monthly sales activity Dynamically providing cross-sell recommendations to call center personnel Ranking sales performance by territory at regular intervals E-commerce Applications E-commerce is certainly a recent phenomenon and embodies all the key characteristics which cry out for data mining for example, the need for rapid analysis of huge amounts of data, the obvious value of personalized treatment of consumers, the criticality of timely, incremental improvements. In this arena, IM Scoring can harness mining analytics to implement personalization in a manner which can quickly and easily accommodate refinement of the models that define personalization. Operational Applications Although leading-edge customers have made inroads in leveraging data mining results in operational applications, this is virtually uncharted territory. Among the inhibitors has been the complexity of deployment, including both application development and managing change. Intelligent Miner Scoring offers an implementation that addresses both issues. A database extender implementation, an SQL programming interface, and a
