Data mining is a branch of studies in computer science, mathematics, and statistics that have developed very rapidly in the last few decades. Data Mining is a term used to find new patterns (knowledge) in a large amount of data. Data mining uses mathematical methods, statistics, artificial intelligence and machine learning to extract and identify useful information and related knowledge from various sources of Big Data. It could also be said that data mining is a process to find meaningful relationships, patterns and tendencies by examining from a group of Big Data stored in storage media using methods that can be used for data pattern recognition.

Some methods in Mathematics developed into tools in data mining include fuzzy sets, rough sets, partial orders, graphs, hypergraf, size theory, probability and stochastic theories, artificial neural networks, and others.

Various applications that have been developed in research in the Department of Mathematics include:

  • discovery of associations between spatial objects and their attributes,
  • weather prediction,
  • classification of selection of types of insurance,
  • vehicle classification,
  • search for stock movement patterns with association rule and sequence mining approaches,
  • and applications in other fields

Research in the field of computational mathematics is emphasized in the analysis and development of algorithms and digital image processing methods and also the application of image processing on several real problems. In order to develop algorithms and image processing methods requires basic knowledge of mathematics, namely:

  1. Computational Mathematics:
    Image processing is basically processing on the matrix so that efficient matrix operations are needed in research. The computational mathematics required includes algebra and matrix, convolution operators and eigenvalue features.
  2. Statistics
    Filtering in the spatial domain and extracting features based on statistical features in digital images requires deep statistical science, including the mean, median, standard deviation. SVM and PCA are tools needed for image classification and clustering.
  3. Mathematical Morphology
    Mathematical Science Morphology has an important role in image processing and has been widely used for medical image processing. Mathematical morphology with some basic operations has a role for feature extraction and object decryption.
  4. Fourier transform
    Fourier transform is a mathematical tool that has been widely used in processing signals, images and video. Image filtering in the frequency domain that is by applying fourier transforms will provide better and faster results than done in the spatial domain. Fourier transformation algorithms that are often used are FFT and DFT
  5. Wavelet Transformation
    The concept of multiresolution owned by wavelet transforms is very useful in image and video processing, including for image / video compression and noise removal. The number of wavelet functions that can be selected greatly help image processing. The wavelet transformation algorithm used is a 2D discrete wavelet transformation
  6. Information Technology
    Image Processing Digial uses information technology to process it. Some tools, both libraries and applications that are often used include MATLAB, OpenCV and Java programming languages. As the internet grows quite high, with various multimedia content, both image, video and sound, it takes web-based video and image processing. Besides that the processing speed also needs to be considered in parallel processing (parallel computing)
