Data Mining
Data mining (also known as
Knowledge Discovery in Databases - KDD) has been defined as "The nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data"[1]
It uses machine learning, statistical and visualization techniques to
discovery and present knowledge in a form which is easily comprehensible to humans.
