A Novel Framework for Recommending Data Mining Algorithm in Dynamic IoT Environment

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has been the driving force for many smart city applications. The huge volume of IoT data generated from these applications require efficient processing to get the insight, which poses significant difficulty. Data mining and machine learning (DM) algorithms are used to minimize such difficulty. However, it is still very challenging to select a particular DM algorithm that can process a dynamic IoT dataset based on some application-specific goals to achieve better accuracy. This paper proposes a knowledge-driven framework that considers the knowledge of datasets, available DM algorithms, and application goals to select the suitable DM algorithm for performing a target data processing task. This work considers data from cultural domain, health domain, and transportation domain in the experiment. The results show that the proposed approach dynamically selects the best-suited DM algorithms for the available datasets and target goals that exhibits satisfactory performance in obtaining accurate results compared to the existing work. The proposed approach not only provides flexibility in conducting dynamic IoT data mining tasks, but also reduces the complexity that would otherwise be necessary while adopting the traditional data mining approaches.
