Mainframe in Enterprises Today
Enterprises With Mainframes Facing New Challenges
Security
– Mainframes are connected to mobile, IOT, cloud and open systems
– External attacks
– Internal threats (unknown unknown)
Automation of IT Operations
– Transactions grow exponentially
– Increased complexity
– Aging problem for mainframe skilled population
– Lower costs required
Machine Learning for the Enterprise - No Longer a “Future?”

What is Machine Learning?
“Machine Learning is a fascinating field of artificial intelligence research and
practice where we investigate how computer agents can improve their
perception, cognition, and action with experience. Machine Learning is about
machines improving from data, knowledge, experience, and interaction…”
Machine Learning
Machine learning uses algorithms to build analytical
models and help computers “learn” from data.
It makes predictions and uncovers hidden insights about
relationships and trends.
Machine Learning
Categories of Techniques
Supervised Learning
Unsupervised Learning
Categories of Techniques
Supervised Learning: Have the idea that there is a relationship between the
input and the output.
• Regression model: predict continuous valued output
• Housing price
• Weather forecast
• Classification model: map input variables into discrete categories.
• Identify cancer
• Handwriting detection
Unsupervised Learning: little or no idea what our results should look like.
• Clustering:
• Market segmentation
• Social network analysis
• Anomaly detection
Predict with Machine Learning
actual data input
y = H (X) prediction = H (X)
hypothesis new input
The Vision vs. Reality
Machine Data-driven Analytics
Machine Learning Poll #2

Q2. Is Mainframe SMF and/or “log” data going into your big data
platform/repository?
o Yes, it is being streamed into it today
o Yes, it goes into it via periodic batch/other input method
o No, but that data has been requested/is desired
o No
o Don’t Know

Splunk Platform Machine Learning Toolkit
The Machine Learning Toolkit App delivers new SPL commands,
custom visualizations, assistants, and examples to explore a variety
of ml concepts.
Assistants:
– Predict Numeric Fields (Linear Regression): e.g. predict median house
values.
– Predict Categorical Fields (Logistic Regression): e.g. predict customer
churn.
– Detect Numeric Outliers (distribution statistics): e.g. detect outliers in IT
Ops data.
– Detect Categorical Outliers (probabilistic measures): e.g. detect outliers
in diabetes patient records.
– Forecast Time Series: e.g. forecast data center growth and capacity
planning.
– Cluster Numeric Events: e.g. Cluster Hard Drives by SMART Metrics
The Basic Process of Machine Learning
Clean and transform your data
– To meet the analytics explicit requirements
Fit the model
– Toolkit features 27 algorithms for fitting models
– Over 300 open source Python algorithms in the add-on
Validate the model
– Each assistant provides a few methods in the validate section
Refine the model
– Adjust the parameters to improve the metrics
Deploy the model
– Deployment actions fall into the following categories
• Make prediction or forecast
• Detect outliers and anomalies
• Trigger or inform an action
