Step-5: Identify what kinds of answers are needed for the Question Goals to be satisfied


  • The Type attribute of Insight points to the types of analytics (e.g., predictive model, logical rules) to be performed, and from there to the relevant algorithms and techniques for mining the datasets.
  • For effective modeling of Insights, one needs to have a good understanding of the business questions on one hand, and an understanding of different kinds of machine learning tasks and analytics models on the other hand.
  • Specify Insight elements for each Question Goal at the lowest level of refinement, to respond to the following question: “what kinds of answers are needed for the Question Goals to be satisfied?”
  • At the most detailed level of refinement, each Question Goal represents a set of requirements covering a certain aspect of the analytics solution.

    • The following 2 figures demonstrate examples of linking an Insight to a Question Goal.
